I might have said "school holidays meal support during COVID-19" ...nuance is tricky on Social media😬
Gary Lineker and Zack Polanski praise Marcus Rashford for using his platform and forcing the government into a u-turn 👏

Rashford forced a gov u-turn by campaigning to extend free school meal support during COVID-19 holidays, 1.7 million vulnerable children continued to receive food 👏

Always good to see a fellow cat appear on #DuvetKnowItsChristmas - for any of my friends that haven't seen it before, it's shepherded by @rhodri.biz and sees people sharing pictures of their temporary sleeping arrangements while visiting family or friends on Christmas Eve. It's a delight x
So excited to be able to join in for the first time since discovering #DuvetKnowitsChristmas as I’m in my spare/junk room with 4 cats as my mum is in my bedroom. @rhodri.biz

Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

Can I add as an ex barman that if you’re in a decent pub don’t shout for drinks if the bar is busy. Any decent barman/ woman knows who’s next and will likely ignore you if you’re acting the dick.

I don't really post anymore, but I would like to carry on writing books at some point in the future.

Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.

You would think the alleged indiscretions of the schoolboy Nigel Farage would have drawn outrage from a just, impartial British media. Strangely, it seems they have not.

"The count takes place in a leisure centre, Gullis watching like a gorilla in the chlorinated mist". Genius ... No notes 😶
Impossible to exaggerate what a brilliant writer Henry is. Pisses me right off tbh.
🚨Some personal news.

I'm thrilled to announce that I've just filed my first copy for The New Yorker.

A profile of Jonathan Gullis.

"You get the sense that offstage, Jonathan Gullis struggles with being Jonathan Gullis."
