I've mentioned this quietly, but - since the summer my hobby has been making this ambitious murder mystery podcast. A story. Narrated by me, with a mouthwatering cast. Partly interactive. Trailer is coming tomorrow but if you like the sound of this, please follow @murderbastard.bsky.social.

My daughter's class had homework on Plato's Cave. Parents in the WhatsApp group were panicking it seemed too hard. I said just hand something in and tell the teacher she's only seeing the shadow of the *real* homework. Got nothing. No laughing emojis, no HAHAHA. I'm fucking wasted on these people.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?
