What a brilliant book about two artists I knew nothing about. These two men felt so real to me and I’m so pleased that Damian Barr brought them to life again and told their story.

Day 9 of Bertvent done!

If you read one book this year, imo, this is it.
Some lovely news. Somewhere Bobby and Robert are celebrating!

Congratulations to everyone shortlisted and thank you to the judges and Nero and to @canongate.co.uk and my agent Clare Conville and to every bookseller, librarian and reader for giving my story space.

If the Media and its owners don't pay tax in the UK they shouldn't be able to print anything in the UK.

"And yeah we don't want the Americans owning our Media, get them out."

Curse thy love, curse thy lies.
And yf thou dost not love me now
Thou wilt nevir love me agayne -
Ich kan yet heare thee sayinge:

Getting a Saline Drip in the USA cost $800, and your insurance doesn't cover it.

Using an Ambulance costs $1500+$100 every minute, Insurance doesn't cover it.

Do you want Private Healthcare, really?

One thing is true a lot of people are eating Nigel Farage's BS about foreigners.

And when other people reinforce or don't challenge this BS, it only makes the problem worse.

Condemn Farage he is a disgusting, racist man who is happy to spread any lie, racist, Tylenol or swan.

This has been my day. Still can’t quite believe it’s over and I can officially put DR in front of my name. Here’s to the next exciting chapter.

So snippets of more of our elected opp parties BUT only Farage is being allowed to set agendas. @libdems.org.uk went on EHCR threat & Trump visit at PMQs but no b’cast coverage. We need to tighten rules so ALL parties are heard. Let’s keep people signing petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

An afternoon here, back where it started, being interviewed for the alumni stories project. Had a private tour of the building, and a really exciting, fun, although sadly short, conversation with the principle, Prof. Louise Jackson.

Have I Told You Lately That I’m A Fascist?

In lieu of freely available milkshakes, if anyone at #Glastonbury2025 could go and boo this prick, that would be much appreciated. Or just boycott.

Dear all. Get the word out... If you're off to Pride in London this year, in whatever guise, drop by St. Paul's in Covent Garden first for what promises to be a fab way to either start your proceedings, or perhaps as an alternative to the main events? Have fun, stay safe and love fierce.

Doing my best to promote it 🤞

PS do read both these volumes, they’re astonishing works of scholarship and reclamation.
‘The fear that with the right promotion homosexuality might really catch on implies an unconscious conviction that the “unnatural” is natural after all, merely awaiting, in everyone, the licence to blossom.’

"In December last year, Resolute 1850 Ltd was incorporated in the UK.

With a thinktank soon to be launched and funds from MAGA, American Big Tech and the US religious right already pledged, it seeks to use Reform as a vessel to bring Project 2025-style policies to the UK." 🤬
