A mother sent me a poem that her 16-year-old autistic child wrote with one of my poetry prompts. I think I will read it every day.

Goodbye on air for the wonderful @andy_fell from @MannGeorgia . Andy Fell, you are a sound wizard and we will miss you madly. One of the talented artists of sound that keep @BBCRadio3 the thing that it is. All the very best.

Coming soon. Beautifully narrated by @HoratioClare and produced by Andy King with truly splendid sound from wizard Andy Fell. A real work of radio art - or simply a beautiful thing. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001g9p…

Not going to lie, this brings back trauma.
When my family first received a notice to be deported back to Cyprus, my mum would hide my brother and me at family friends' houses in fear that the UK border agency would come knocking on our door.
Your dream was my nightmare.

What a sad start to our week. Whilst we don’t want to be here, in reality we will be here until everyone can afford to put food on their plate. Please consider supporting families like this. If you can afford it, £5/month will make a world of difference.

This child goes to school in Lewisham, like mine. Heartbreaking doesn’t even come close. Please consider supporting @lewishamfood lewisham.foodbank.org.uk/giv… and @magic_breakfast magicbreakfast.com/donate/ma… - charities that do amazing work and shouldn’t need to exist

Me: That was great! Do you want to try gymnastics classes? Or dance? You get to wear fun costumes and do shows.
Her: No. I want to be a normal person and do nothing.

What would happen if all the women running school summer fairs went into politics? They’re fucking dynamite and they know how to get shit done for no money, when no one wants to do it, no messing. Let’s quit our tombola-discussing whatsapp groups & sort out the country instead.

In the end he has to go because he will lose ministers faster than he can replace them and Nadine Dorries cannot do all the jobs in government

Sajid Javid and Rishi Sunak resigned! Desis out the door! What was in their paranthas this morning? Seems like operation big dog or dead dog or whatever hasn’t really gone to plan. Unless this was the plan?
