Absolutely. With such a big majority they could make some real change and progression but there’s been so v little. I have more hope via Lisa Nandy but rest of it has felt awful
Nothing feels different from when the Tories were in. The most depressing time :(
It feels like the everlasting winter in Thrones rn! Hope you’re well John x
Gah! I know. It feels like winter has lasted 876 years

I started an X Files re watch recently - still going!
Hero!! (This was also me!)
I had a blast writing an oral history of Shaun of the Dead for its 20th birthday for IndieWire - a joy to chat to all the cast for this! www.indiewire.com/features/int...
I also had a very emotive chat with Rick Astley for The Telegraph about his new autobiography that explored his challenging childhood, his rise to fame and his much loved Glastonbury set www.telegraph.co.uk/music/interv...
Over the summer I had the joyous job of writing this cover feature for the Evening Standard about Taylor’s big arrival in London last summer for the Eras tour:

Word of the day is ‘hibernacle’ (18th century): a hibernating animal’s winter retreat.
I believe it works on a human level too.
This was SO helpful! Thank you Sean! X
I hear it is far nicer over here! Message received. Words of the day start tomorrow.
