Tried to articulate some of the barriers that come with being a working-class writer for @tribunemagazine. Whether you accept or reject them, it shapes what, how and why you write, for better or worse.
Despite initiatives purporting to promote working-class writing, the publishing industry remains woefully out of touch with the needs, pressures, and dreams of life outside bourgeois Britain. Is another working-class literature possible? tribunemag.co.uk/2025/12/a-w…

Make sure you come along to this by buying a ticket for it then showing it to the person on the door before walking inside Newcastle's glittering @Alphabetti and listening to @GarethDennis, @capriciousmetal @JakeyTrelease, @yazzarf and Lyndsey Ayre in excelsis
200 years exactly since a Geordie invented the modern railway, we've got @GarethDennis coming to Newcastle to talk about how to save the future by building more of them. I don't know about you but my heart is fully erect and quivering

Judge Christopher Hehir did not want to send a police officer who raped a woman to jail as an "act of mercy"
Judge Christopher Hehir sent five climate protesters to jail, and denied any of their defences, saying they "crossed the line from campaigner to fanatic"
Looking forward to reading at this in August. Sunland on Sky just before it too. Should be good

Here's a new story from me about local facebook groups, a good man who thinks he's bad and a bad man who thinks he's good. Have a read.

Wrote about how local music venues benefit our communities. Emphasis on Manchester, Newcastle and more historic examples like Nashville, the original 'music city'.
Local music scenes aren't nuisances taking up space from property developers — they generate decent jobs in post-industrial areas, and play a key role in sustaining culture in many communities.
