Really struck today by how many of the people most responsible for the Brexit shitshow were actively rewarded for their stupidity/dishonesty. Knighthoods, Damehoods, peerages, newspaper columns, seats in the House of Commons… It’s a mark of how deep the rot has gone into the fabric of our society.

The first hotel room of 2025! Note disturbing topographic headboard. Also, no biscuits — and, indeed, no coffee, only weird herbal teas. I am…troubled. #HotelOdyssey

Celtic Park and the immediately surrounding area needs major investment. The main stand is old, cramped and jaded, the corporate box hospitality embarrassing compared with its peers and fans are displaced to accommodate the media at CL games. www.ft.com/content/a0b1...

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago. In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists. Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

This is important & necessary. I’d add only that a) It’s clear many of the political & media figures deliberately ignoring these facts are playing with the sort of fire we saw on our streets this summer & b) Laura Kuenssberg’s failure to point this out to Farage was an appalling dereliction of duty.

I always had a vague ambition to open a phone-free coffee shop/wine bar in Dublin — staffed by intimidating ex-cons. Apart from the legendary Hi-B in Cork, does anyone know of phone-free dining spots in Ireland?

Today’s poem was the last of my daily poetry posts this side of Christmas. Thank you for all your funny, interesting and (generally) kind responses to the poems over the last month or so; even the trolls have been entertaining (and given me some good ideas for new poems).

You can hear the boundless respect & affection Mishal Husain inspires in colleagues in every farewell this morning. A very rare broadcaster. Appalling that she felt compelled to leave the Beeb. Heads should roll!

Sigh. Last night I dreamed, once again, that I was sitting a school exam for which I hadn’t prepared. As usual, I’d gone back to resit my finals in case the whole writing thing didn’t work out. Those scars run deep…
