Apologies for the Radio Silence - But It’s for a Good Reason
Balancing the NHS and Twitter Sanity Patrol - truly no time for the wicked
I know, I know - I’ve been quieter on here lately. But before anyone assumes I’ve been kidnapped by Elon’s algorithm or finally lost my mind debating the wilfully obtuse, let me assure you: I’m still here, just busier than usual.
Between new work (hello, NHS rear-guard) and my usual position on the frontlines of Twitter, trying to shout people sane, I’ve had to triage my time significantly. And in the process, I’ve also taken on something new—I’m now writing a column for Byline Times a few times a month.
My latest? The Real Sufferers of ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ Are His Supporters. It’s about how the people most detached from reality aren’t the ones calling Trump a threat - it’s the ones still pretending he’s a strategic genius rather than a ranting, barely comprehensible mess.

Best,
