Honestly never thought this day would come.
But my pinned report about Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, which is over 36,500 words and is the most comprehensive, sourced, and terrifying report on this subject available in the U.S., is now far and away the most read report PROOF has ever published.

This is an excellent piece and a welcome glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak geopolitical landscape. Let’s hope Starmer seizes the day.

Will he seize it? New writing from me.

Summer 1954 returns! We’ve been on hiatus but we’re back with a bang in Chichester, Richmond, Cheltenham & Oxford. Two short plays by Terence Rattigan about love, regret, cruelty, prejudice, disappointment, courage, small acts of kindness & embracing change. Maybe see you there? 🤞🏽
