🚨 Delighted to announce that I'm writing a book about whips for @BitebackPub, due out in September 2024. My DMs are very much open to any tips, stories, views or contributions to this project! Can’t wait to get stuck in.

📝 NEW: Political reporting in the U.S. vs the U.K. America is a vox-pop paradise, but there's no WhatsApp. At least everyone agrees what "off the record" means. My first contribution to the D.C. POLITICO Nightly newsletter. politico.com/newsletters/po…


Any freelancers out there fancy reading some sample chapters and a book proposal? I'm just after a read-through and general feedback/ideas. Please DM if interested, and we can work out a fee.


In this week's newsletter, I've written a tribute to Andy Murray and our love of the journey. Please subscribe if you'd like. whalemigration.substack.com/p/a-tribute-to…

Very sad to hear that Lord Cormack has died. He was always unfailingly kind to me throughout my time at The House magazine, and I loved picking his brain about parliaments and characters gone by over a coffee.

Delighted that my personal-v. personal!-project about the joys/wisdom of turning 40 has been published online @guardian I took 40 portraits last year of people turning 40 and it genuinely changed my outlook. Thanks to everyone for sharing their stories❤️ theguardian.com/society/2024/f…


Ever thought about writing a book? Here’s some advice on how to go about it. open.substack.com/pub/whalemigra…

Tony Lloyd was kind enough to give me an interview just a few weeks ago, with no mention of his ill health at all in our half hour conversation, during which he was in fine fettle, generously recounting his days in the Labour whips’ office in the 80s. A sad loss; a lovely guy.
