Sunak goes to the country, and not a moment too soon – but the result ain’t a foregone conclusion.

He finally did it. Sunak succumbed to the reality that, unlike the D:Ream song that blared in the background throughout his announcement this afternoon, things really aren’t going to get much better than they are right now.

There’s only one choice this year

This year is an election year. We now know this for certain, as Rishi Sunak confirmed as much in an interview the BBC on Thursday 4 January. Exactly when the election will take place is still yet to be seen, despite Sunak’s unconvincing line that his working assumption is that it will be in the second half of the year. With an election on the horizon, we are presented with an opportunity to choose. And for my money, there’s only one clear choice.

An as-yet-untitled story about the cosmos

As part of a creative writing exchange I did with a dear friend of mine, after proof-reading and editing a book they were writing, they asked me to put my red pen down and instead, do some writing of my own. This was written in the space of about an hour and is just a playful piece they came to me as I wrote it. It’s not part of a wider story. However, as I was writing, I imagined it being the opening chapter to a book about a person’s journey into the history of the cosmos.
