Elon Musk is no friend of our United Kingdom. He should be held to account for allowing truly vile and illegal child abuse content on his platform.

Love’s Lexis

She told me that being in love
and asking what it means
is like picking up a dictionary
and looking up the word ‘dictionary'.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

the director’s advice

imagine a moon
that is both
illuminated
then darkened
by dots
lines
shapes
and signs
that appear
as if at random
across its surface

a moon
known
and unknown
in shifting ways

The PM must urgently appoint a new ambassador who will stand up to Trump, not cosy up to him and his cronies.

He also can't keep dodging questions about why Lord Mandelson was appointed in the first place, and the extent of what was already known about his links with Epstein.
