Maybe being PM / governing is just impossible in Britain these days. Social Media and 24hr news make it impossible. Maybe it’s not just Britain. Worldwide, which leader is currently doing a good job? Can’t think of a single one.
So depressing/upsetting about Roisin - what is she doing, apart from ruining her career? It really hurts that someone who’s championed difference in their career betrays us that way

You might qualify in the Tory mind as a ‘contributor’ - but of course that kind of distinction is just an attempt to divide migrants (and of course is horrible dog-whistle stuff about who’s deserving and who isn’t). But after a weekend seeing tons of flags in the north, I’d be happy elsewhere*
This book is absolutely brilliant- if you love SciFi… and even if you don’t. A series of strange interconnected stories that over time build into this rich and complex narrative about humanity in the distant future. Compelling and intelligent and emotional. A masterpiece!
