Excited to have my climate-crisis story 'Tipping' in this fab new book of shorts, 22 Fictions (2025) from @DesperateLit @BrickLaneBooks & Cheerio Publishing. Forward by @WednesdayErskin & @badaud_e 'If 22 Fictions is an argument for the short form, it is winning.'@WritingRoomOrg

Hundreds of trees have been felled for a road widening scheme in north Plymouth. Despite that, an application is in, in the same area to fell 27 mature trees, covered by a TPO to build a new showroom for a car dealership! This is not essential and the harm cannot be justified.

My books are due back @stroudgreenlibrary but it's closed again due to staff shortages. One of the many dismal decline-in-service issues, ahead of closing our library 2 days a week. Is this really the borough of culture? @perayahmet @MichaelRosenYes

https://t.co/pj0sDKlKAb Stroud Green library is a warm space for homeless, disadvantaged & those with mental health issues. @haringeycouncil seem to not know this & will close it 49% of the week. @perayahmet @MichaelRosenYes
@mikehakata @alexworre11 @haringeylibrary Scandalous.
