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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
