I have written a blog post about different types of filters - in it I try to cover the upsides and drawbacks of different types of restrictions, and also give some thoughts about the idea of resident exemptions. It’s long, but I hope it’s helpful.

Just published a ward report for #forestgatenorth about what I've been up to on behalf of residents. Do have a read, and ask me any questions you have:

My youngest, Persephone, has been memorising elements to raise money for @YourPlaceUK. She can recite 100 and has got over £600 in sponsorship and I could NOT be more proud!

Get Caught Reading!
Persephone just had to find somewhere where she wouldn't be interrupted when she was reading! Who's next..?

She’s back, but the good news is my card is still here. With a longer and more consistent career than certain people in government, I might add. thortful.com/card/63514b412d…

U-turn alert. We DID decide to do a final song about the collapse of the government. So here’s “Gee, Sir Graham Brady” – our parody 🎶of “Gee, Officer Krupke” from West Side Story. In which we finish by calling for a #GeneralElectionNow

Here's a cheeky little sea shanty ⚓️🎶(an adaptation of #Wellerman) about #SuellaBraverman - we were sad to see her go, because we had to make this much quicker than we anticipated...

Just dropped off my contribution to Miniature Forest Gate at @number8_FG. I had FAR too much fun making this out of things I found in the recycling bin: a lolly stick, a paper cup, a PG tips box and a used envelope amongst others. I wanted to portray @FGPride!

Excellent demolition of BJ's 'Ukraine defence' by @Freedland. He'll probably survive, but I do wonder whether, if he gets another few penalty notices, the narrative will suddenly & ferociously switch to saying he totally ignored the rules and must go. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

I ❤️ the BBC. Because it’s the single greatest and most consequential cultural institution yet devised in the UK, because it does far more good for the brand of Global Britain than anything dreamed up by government, but mostly because it’s the best at what it does & it’s OURS.

If you are stuck for a gift for a small person this Christmas, why not buy my ‘Dream big, little one’ print to hang in their room? Could it also act as a subtle message to a baby to sleep more deeply?! Well, who knows. I guess it might. etsy.com/uk/listing/10117468…
