I’m being menaced by a bird. So I took its photo. If anything, it became even more irritated. #AngryBirds #BirdInAHuff

You may have seen that Keir Starmer apologised for the forced adoption scandal of the 50s/60s/70s this week. I made an (award winning!) documentary about my own forced adoption and now, with perfect timing, it’s back on Radio 4.
Have a listen.

Well, as someone who’s been through both and made programmes about both, I’m having quite the day.

Don’t do the ‘socials’ much anymore BUT tonight’s ep of #TheSkewer on that @BBCRadio4 is really fucking good - given the week’s turbulent news. LISTEN TO IT.... bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002w5z…

Thinking how much I miss the @jonholmes1 show on @TalkTV or Talk Radio as it was then.
Utterly batshit and probably not tremendously good on advertising revenue but it was enormously fun.

We covered an important (and upsetting) story on the last Radio 4 #TheNakedWeek of the series, all about forced adoption and a drug called DES. You can read about it in @ObserverUK today, written by our very own @CatNeilan

With all this #WinterOlympics2026 lark, I’ve just remembered that around SIXTEEN years ago I went on an Olympic bobsleigh run. And wrote about it for @thetimes
