At least say ā€˜spend more time with family’, like…

We can but hope, Tom.

A new Reform-linked think tank is claiming: "The idea that we are some sort of UK branch of a US organisation is not true," he said. "We are independent." But that's not quite true is it? news.sky.com/story/reform...

If you ride the London tube enough times, celeb spotting becomes just part of the commute

The reason generative AI is so popular with wannabe creatives is best illustrated by something every pro writer has encountered: getting pitched an idea by someone saying "You write it and we'll split the profits!" because they think the idea is what has value, not the writing. The opposite is true.

Oh no, fuck…

New research from my MMHPI Charity warns govt’s planned PIP reforms will have a ā€œcatastrophic impactā€ on people’s finances & mental health, and could drive people out of the workplace.

I still remember when Robert Jenrick dm'd me on Twitter, to bond apparently over our Wolverhampton schooling and to tell me he was enjoying Empireland. I don't think even he believes a word of this crap.

I’m exhausted.

I see Honest Bob Jenrick has a new little video attacking barristers for representing unpopular clients. Once again for those at the back: Lawyers are not their clients. Which is how, when Jenrick broke the law in government, he had lawyers to defend him.
