WRITERS! ALCS MEMBERS! Elections for the board are coming up. I’d appreciate your support. I’m standing as the Audio/Visual rep. There are so many new ways in which your writing is exploited. I will work hard to make sure you get the secondary rights payments that you deserve.

Make. More. Kids. Movies.
‘HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON’ crossed $350M globally. The film had a $150M budget.

My company, Adastra Development runs a YouTube Channel called Grandpa in my Pocket and Co, featuring a ton of much loved kids’ shows. The latest is The Sound Collector, launching tomorrow. It's a proper little gem so anyone with little kids - do head over and take a look.

This hugely popular warm, funny modern classic is currently discounted on Amazon. The perfect stocking filler and an absolute winner with kids and their families. Who wouldn’t want to grow a dragon, eh?

I have hopped over to Bluesky. Won’t disappear from here just yet but it’s quite nice over there!

Health reforms - @wesstreeting has energy and determination but is barking up the wrong tree. Banning junk food ads has never worked anywhere. Pure tokenism. Plus why are we not looking to France and Germany for their funding model? Why?

What have they done to Strictly? Could it get any more gaudy? The design is trying far too hard, right?

Children are more obese than they were 15 years ago. Well that’s odd. Seemingly Tony Blair’s ban on junk food ads during Kids’ TV didn’t work. And now the Govt plan to extend the ban to pre watershed. Tokenism.

Where’s the evidence that banning junk food ads on TV stops kids being fat? There’s none. The intro of this policy by Tony Blair sounded the first death knell of British kids TV. Now you’re extending the policy to adult viewing. Tokenism.All gong and no dinner. @wesstreeting

Scandalous behaviour from @4complc. So disappointed with their customer service and approach to what was a very dubious sales technique on their part.

Deeply alarming that @AngelaRayner has approved the development by @EnvarComposting of a large industrial incinerator in a small rural Cambs village surrounded by farmland. The environmental consequences threaten local farms and a nursery with closure. Madness. @AllisonPearson

The Strictly furore has wider implications about talking truth to power. Do it at your peril. Power has the bigger stick and you will most likely be beaten.

Mothers with babies and small kids in hospital are only eligible for hospital food if they are breastfeeding. Even though they have to be there 24/7. Does this apply in every NHS Trust? @Jacqui_Smith1 do you know?
