After winning narrowly in Runcorn last year, this time around Reform tasted the bitter wine of narrow defeat.

Greens got 41% of the vote #BBC, Reform got 29%. I wouldn’t call that a narrow defeat.

Everyone regresses to their teens when they stay with their mum, but for me that seems to mean specifically "watching the second half of whatever great film is on telly", something I never do at home anymore. Relatedly, I'm delighted to let you know that Truman Show is on RIGHT NOW

It Walks Around The House At Night - Southwark Playhouse Borough Part ghost story, part psychological thriller, It Walks Around The House At Night is an edge-of-your-seat theatrical experience from Tim Foley and Neil Bettles.

Dearest friends - if you're hoping to see IT WALKS... in London, just to flag it's selling well! (I swear this isn't a humble brag, I just don't want you missing out on spooky timez)

Rafe Wallbank's collage cover artwork for Doctor Who: Helter Skelter. The Fifth Doctor is in the centre, surrounded by a spiral rail track upon which are spheres. Tegan stands upon one, in which is a vision of London. Turlough sits on the other, in which is a vision of space. Tentacles flail behind.

Please sir can I have some more On making a living as a writer

“I didn’t have rich parents, a childhood bedroom to return to or an infatuated billionaire intent on marrying me. Either writing had to make me money or I couldn’t do it. “

I wrote about making a living from writing in the new economy.

Last month, Kendall indicated she was sympathetic to artists' demands not to have their copyrighted works scraped by AI companies without payment and wanted to
"reset" the debate. "People rightly want to get paid for the work that they do," she said, and "we have to find a way that both sectors can grow and thrive in future".

“People have every right to own property, but we must balance that with the demands of burglars to steal that property and sell it.”

Fuck off. And tell your loser tech mates to fuck off while you’re at it. Cheers. Ta.

It’s weird how there’s always moves to make fiction more “interactive” with different endings etc. It’s like these people have never seen the same film twice a few years apart and had a completely different reaction. All fiction is interactive. That there’s an audience is the interactive part.

Sean Longmore's cover artwork for Torchwood: The Flawless Man, featuring Sgt Andy Davidson standing in front of a barbed wire fence. Behind him is a giant, incomplete figure of a man made from scrap metal. Sun streams through gaps in the figure. Birds fly in a distant cloudy sky.
