It's been nearly seven years since I first started researching and sharing Hezekiah Moscow's story on my blog. Now just over a year until my book is published. Back to writing tonight! If you enjoy/ed #AThousandBlows, please buy THE DEVIL'S DANCE FLOOR next year, eh 🥊✌🏻

Complete nonsense! My dad lives just down the road and round the corner from 'his' 900k Clacton constituency home and is VERY well acquainted with social media, computers, all the above. And 13 years older than Farage...

I do genuinely quite like Clacton, yes. But it's also a case of the trains being too expensive for me to leave as often as I'd like 😒

If elected MP for Clacton, the place where I live, work and love, I promise to quit at least two of my jobs AND, in the run-up, base my campaign HQ and then continue the vibes, at The Seaspan, Clacton, & Rainy Bakes, Jaywick. Not 'spoons 🙌🏻 I mean, it's cool, does smell a bit like dead rats though 🤷🏻♀️

I live, work, eat, sleep etc at my home in Clacton and work for an All Party Parliamentary Group in Westminster on occasion. I've been to both more often than Farage has. Hiya, @zackpolanski.bsky.social - Can we have a chat? Not about wrestling, but open to that too 💚🤷🏻♀️🙌🏻 #CoxforClacton
Given how much Nigel Farage hates working from home, it would be nice to see him turn up at his workplace a bit more regularly

When I die, if I've contributed anything to British boxing history, other than the whole Loads of Black Caribbean and American 1880s Lads Here Being Amazing thing, I hope it goes down as: one eyed and one footed fellas boxing EVERYWHERE?!
This lad is only notorious!
Note the strange positioning of the dash. Notorious one foot-boxer. Not one-foot boxer? The mind boggles.

My bloke's new BFI-funded short drama Smooth The Edges should be heading to short film festivals later this year! I am very proud. It stars, and was written, directed, and produced by British Romani actors and filmmakers:

Also a charity signer-upper young lad in the City just clocked my ghostly pallor and large fur coat and tried to stop and solicit me by shouting "Hey there, The Lady From Narnia!". Beautiful work, perfect compliment, five stars, take all my money if I had any.

In my day jobs I've spent 16 years pitching and overseeing photo shoots, video, radio... media opportunities for other researchers. Today I booked a day off so a photographer who has taken pictures of JON BON JOVI (he's small, I thought so!) could shoot me. For a big magazine. Feel weird. Bit shaky.
Ooh what a morning!
In a relevant historical pub with my imaginary history bf. Sorry, I mean, my serious research subject.

Named her tumour Farage.
Perfect. Perfect perfect 💚
Perfect. Perfect perfect 💚
On this day 10 years ago, I had my last dose of chemo and radiotherapy, I had a new baby at the time, I named my tumour Farage and I blogged about it my experience. I got into politics because of the power of hope and love and community. I know... hippy. shinyshep.wordpress.com/2016/02/10/d...

Hello, I’ve dropped some morphine so not sure how long til I drift into rambling incoherence or sleep but it’s the end of a chapter. The title of this relates to my favourite Flaming Li…

NGL, Neil Buchanan selling the concept of Art Attack for a Bond villain amount of money then just going on tour playing guitar in his metal band as he never has to work another day in his life is the most relatable thing any celebrity has ever done. Absolute king shit. 👑
As a British child of the early '90s I shouldn't rightfully feel this joyful so soon after losing John Virgo. But, uh, let it be known that Müller Corner yoghurts have got out Neil Buchanan for a Big Art Attack 🙌🏻🖌️

Thank you!!! I'm obsessed with it. 100% acrylic but looks more real than most modern fauxs for sure. And the best part: £12!!! I'm too warm though 😂

Bright red is also preferable to black as 'you can get lost in black'. I'm nearly 6ft tall - couldn't get lost in camo FFS.
