The Telegraph newsletter today has an online tool to help its readers calculate “how much of your salary bankrolls the welfare state” - and the 4 million people too sick or disabled to work.

I feel quite sick. They are literally baiting their readers to ask what a burden we are.

This is what falling for in the traps set by reactionaries around the concepts of "free speech" and "debate" lead to

It legitimises talking points which should be relegated to the margins of society and make them seem credible

I had a fantastic time @Cheltpoetfest opening event - Writing the Watershed. A fantastic evening of poetry and discussion about the climate crisis. I look forward to the other events the festival has to offer!

I once gave a colleague a subscription to @ButchersDogMag as a retirement gift. She said that she looked forward to seeing my name in there and my only thought was "Yeah, right", so it was a lovely, surreal feeling to find out that I've even been longlisted for the Spring issue!

This Bob Hicok poem is so, so brilliant. It makes me desperately want to write and never write again simultaneously
