Stay safe all, and wishing you a prosperous 2026

Unsolicited writing advice, no.9:
When naming characters, it helps to consider: their age; their background; their culture; what part of the country they come from; their parents (why did they choose that name?). Same goes for non-British characters - (not all Frenchmen are called Serge :-)

The architect of the Windrush scandal, go home vans and hostile environment was rewarded with a safe seat from which he spouts blatant far right rhetoric if you wonder how repercussions for that scandal went
British Member of Parliament and former Chief of Staff to Prime Minister Theresa May there, circling around a mass casualty event like a vulture to exploit it in service of a rancid reactionary culture war, in case anybody is still wondering how we got here.

I mean when you lose a lifelong Labour voter like my 85 year old mother in a Northern seat that swings between the Tories and Labour you’d think they’d ask questions. But my mother is Black, so no.

When she says “ordinary” she means
- white
- cisgender
- non-disabled
- not Palestinian
- not seeking asylum
and any combination of the above, because they don’t give a shit about us
Labour MPs tell us what a wonderful job they are doing and how much they are helping us, yet always disable quote posts. @lucympowell.bsky.social thinks they are rewiring the country for ‘ordinary people’

Is rewiring a modern word for demonising, oppressing and ostracising?

Cycling UK have recently stated that their annual 100 Women in Cycling award won’t include any trans women or non-binary

Over 50 current nominees and previous winners have rejected or returned their awards. I know many of them personally

I’m proud of my cycling sisters. All of them

I've spent three days in Calais & it's horrendous.

People living in disgusting conditions. Our Government is spending £476m on the militarisation of the border.

We must divert that money to a humanitarian response that treats people with basic dignity.
