My short essay was 1 of 15 selected for Briefly Think 1.
I wrote about ownership, The Poetry Archive, and why poets should let their poems live independent lives.

How do independent bookshops survive in the era of online bookselling? What's the relationship between a bookshop and the authors of the books it sells?

@CastCanary Love the goal. The sight of the fans enjoying themselves all packed together brings a painful feeling of nostalgia for THE BEFORE TIMES.

@MarcusRashford @DailyMailUK @MailSport Marcus Rashford, your campaign on child poverty was amazing, timely and brave. Thanks for doing this. And your balanced, rational and polite response to the newspaper shows you in a good light too.

@MarkWomersley We ok. Just left my job at UEA (at the Sainsbury Centre), possibly foolish given the job market but necessary for my well being. How are you?

Yeah, happy birthday Mark.

Proportion of salary covered by sick pay

🇩🇪 100%
🇧🇪 93%
🇸🇪 64%
🇳🇱 56%
🇪🇸 42%
🇬🇧 29%

Statutory sick pay in the UK is just £95.85/wk - and 2 million don’t earn enough to qualify.

People can’t afford to self-isolate on that. They need #SickPayForAll that meets the cost of living.

....Martyn Simpson’s incredible musico-mechanical homage to Bletchley Park code-breaking. We also have a particular and personal fondness for Anna Townley’s vibrant spiritual paintings.
