It seems impossible that someone as vital as Benjamin is gone. RIP, great soul

[Ian Duhig FRSL @ianduhig]

RIP Benjamin Zephaniah. I read with him once in Huddersfield and he was gracious to me who nobody there had come to hear. He helped cut a path for later poets of colour and could use humour well to make his point, as in this Xmas poem: https://t.co/6BH5sq3tw5

“I work all day, and get half-drunk at night.
Waking at four to soundless dark, I stare.
In time the curtain-edges will grow light.
Till then I see what’s really always there:

Philip #Larkin, died 2 December 1985

How glad I am to have chosen this seat, opposite this poem. Poetry says more by saying less…and today it speaks to me especially powerfully, at a time of deep sadness and despair.

#SizewellC site this morning. Dune has retreated six feet, more in places, in one weekend surge. #StopSizewellC

[Stop Sizewell C @StopSizewellC]

NO place for a #nuclear power station! Serious erosion next to the #SizewellC site this weekend. Left is the "tank traps" in October this year, which we thought was bad.... on the right is how the same spot looks today. Sea incursion and tons of dune washed away! #StopSizewellC
