Oh, good morning! Today I became a published author. Took me 20 years (and a cancer diagnosis) so I’m feeling pretty proud.

Oof - what an exhausting and exhilarating day at the Anarchist Book Fair - hats off to organisers, participants and totally engaged punters

Very heartening to see so many people devoted to local and global action to make the world a fairer place. And I hope we provided a few chuckles along the way

Leake Street Arches, the graffiti tunnel that runs under Waterloo Station, is absolutely jammed with people attending the Anarchist Book Fair
