I just took part in The Big Plastic Count, as we’re still producing far too much plastic. Robbie Moore MP, will you lead the way at the negotiations for a Global Plastics Treaty and push for a cut in production of at least 75% by 2040?

If the dragons all loved the ice pops so much, why didn’t they invest? Weirdos. I’d put the product in my supermarket shopping list. #DragonsDen

Odd that CJ Hole letting agents in Bishopston will only disclose the name of the landlord of the flat my daughter and 5 other students are renting from for over £4500 a month 21 days after asking and then possibly only a postal address. What do they have to hide?

Does Sean Taylor, who was just on #gapfinders BBC Radio 4 fancy a date? He said his social life isn’t that exciting at the moment. #zipworld

My book chapter ‘“Waiting in the Wings”: The Economics and Ethereality of Theatrical Space in Angela Carter's Nights at the Circus’ published this week in The Routledge Companion to Theatre-Fiction. Only £205 to pre-order hardback copy. A bargain. routledge.com/The-Routledge-…

#R4Today a bit all over the place this morning.

I once slightly knew Calvin Robinson, before he became Calvin Robinson. He lived near me and worked as a teacher. He used to be quite sweet, unbelievable now, I know. When he got 'famous' he stopped engaging with me completely. Probably didn't like to hear a range of views. Weird

In a world full of Martin M's, it's heartening to know there are also a whole bunch of Martin H's, Roger's, Eliot's and Paul's. #MyMumYourDad

🚨 The Prime Minister wants to weaken already inadequate UK climate plans as the world faces extreme flooding and wildfires.

Apart from the fact he's ALWAYS been a narcissistic sleazy woman-hater, the instant Laurence Fox stood up for him should have signalled game over.

Believe. Women. Men like Brand are hiding in plain sight. There are women watching this and reading their own experiences

Hiding ‘in plain sight’, a well-used predator’s trope. Believe women. #RussellBrand #coercion

I found this piece strange and difficult to write, for lots of reasons.

But I hope it helps people with similar experiences, and perhaps also makes others consider their behaviour.

That could have been an intelligent discussion about the problems with GCSE exams (of which there are many). Instead it became a “my school is better than yours” shoutathon with Katherine Birbalsingh BBC Radio 4 Today

Oh, for a moment I thought there was an Apple Day festival today, with orchards and juice and bobbing. #AppleEvent

Just had about ten uniformed Home Office officers banging at my front door at 6 am. Terrifying.

Being with someone who doesn’t want the best for you is worse than being alone.
