I wrote for the Guardian’s Saturday magazine about my son Max, who changed how I see the world. Took ages. More jokes after the first bit.
Thanks @meropemills for being the most patient and generous editor.

Everyone knows the British love their tea. 🫖
Join hosts @Alicelevine and @mattforde for the new season of @WonderyMedia’s British Scandal, where they discuss the snafus, entanglements & gossip that have changed the course of British history.

When we’re making British Scandal, we never know who’s listening.
Peter Dimond was central to our Asil Nadir series. He helped him flee the UK.
He got in touch with us.
We interviewed him.
It’s wild.

The final episode of Short Cuts broadcast today. How can that be? I’m devastated that this precious microcosm of experimentation is no longer supported by the BBC.
Thank you @JosieLong @FallingTreeProd for stretching the possibilities of sound and story.
Long live Short Cuts ✨
Delighted that Complex, a series about Nora and her family navigating a system that doesn't do enough for children with complex care needs, was chosen as a Pick of the Year. Another chance to hear Nora, Harry, Tors, Dave and some of the wonderful folk at Chestnut Tree tonight
For all 📻 lovers - there’s another chance to hear this Pick of the Year at 9 tonight: interviews with @sianwilliams100, @BBCNuala (and her sisters), @VickyFarncombe’s Witness H’y on the Brazilian female football ban + @Redzi Bernard’s brilliant Complex. https://t.co/N2ZCmIPmOn
The final episode of @PhoebeMcindoe 's 'County Lines' on BBC Sounds reveals the truth which dare not speak its name re UK drug policy: legalising drugs.
Our drug policy is incoherent. It is the worst of all possible worlds. No MP is willing to say this.

The brutality and poetry of County Lines @BBCRadio4@PhoebeMcindoe hit hard. I work with children-bright and sweet and desperate for acceptance and understanding-and I’m forever seeking ways to divert them from this path that feels destined for them. This will help. Thank you.
BBC Radio 4 County Lines Available
I took part in this @BBCRadio4 documentary which aired last night repeated this morning
Spoke about my obsession with a poor boy who was stabbed to death in #Shrewsbury#Shropshire#ChildCriminalExploitation🥲 https://t.co/eFA7ie0eSr
‘When children become drug dealers’
A rise in county lines, most household are aware of this term. But why do we have such an issue? Hear from contributors including @wudzee0 on the systemic problems we may not want to face.

@FallingTreeProd @BBCRadio4@PhoebeMcindoe@Redzi Wow, I just listened to County Lines. So powerful, the way you have researched, created and produced that has had a visceral effect. I have never heard anything quite like it.
I knew little about this and now have great empathy for those families and poor kids. Thank you
