My poem “Mile” recently made the longlist for the @WritingEM Aurora Writing Prize.

Although I didn’t make it to the shortlist, it was an honour to be included alongside such talented writers. You can read it online if you like, along with the winners:

Tea served in a flask (milk in a beaker) and a poetry “biscuit” on the side! The Poetry Pharmacy @emergencypoet now one of my favourite London places.

Wow. Although I am way too tired on a Friday evening for this sort of thing.

@naydawson Thanks Nay. I’m waiting on a couple of competition results - when I know if I’m free to publish them I’ll stick some more up on my blog

Fun to be a student again (for 10 weeks)!

Can’t wait for the #WickedMovie to come out, not least because my singing “it’s time to try defining gravity” to my Y10 girls in their physics lesson fell so devastatingly flat.

I’d like to thank Delay Repay for (re)funding a significant portion of my summer holiday travels���

[Mr Leaney. @MrLeaney]

@dorsetpolice Thanks for the info.
Do you keep the footage for long after the protest has ended? I don’t love the idea of being in a police file just for turning up to a peaceful protest…

[Mr Leaney. @MrLeaney]

@dorsetpolice Thanks for your efforts to make sure both sets of protesters are safe.
I saw some police officers filming the protesters - could you explain the purpose and what happens to the footage please?

[Dorset Police @dorsetpolice]

We'd like to remind you that temporary powers are in place today in Bournemouth between 8am and 11pm.

Section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act allows for officers to be able to stop and search people for weapons without needing an explanation. Section 60AA of the same act allows officers to ask people to remove face coverings.

A section 35 dispersal zone has also been authorised for the same area and will give officers powers to move on groups or individuals causing – or who are likely to cause – harassment, alarm or distress to others.

This has been going on so long I’ve just hallucinated Tom Cruise grabbing the flag and riding it out on a motorbike…

People saying the Paris ceremony was “different” as if ours made total sense in 2012…

@realMChalmers You know I love a production, but I think we need to start wrapping this up now…

[Mr Leaney. @MrLeaney]

@realMChalmers Google has been my constant companion through this whole thing tbh.

Love this from my visit to @Tate Modern at the weekend. Brilliant questions if you’re thinking of giving any art gallery over the summer.
