Ok I do really like bluesky but I am also truly terrible at social media and can't imagine I'll get any better once I've had a baby this summer. For now, find me interviewing people about politics and their personal lives here: api.omarshehata.me/substack-pro...
These days I am mostly: feeding my v new baby, having cold baths and rooting for the British hero that is Count Binface.
(I interviewed the man inside the bin, Jon Harvey, about satire, politics, Spurs and whether the right or left can take a joke better... amyhoggart.substack.com/p/2-jon-harvey)

Expert tip: watch Hannah Spencer’s victory speech through at least twice.
First watch: focus on Hannah
Second watch: focus (if you can!) on Matt Goodwin
What a positive and hopeful start to the weekend. I feel like I’ve been drinking with lunch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJFV...

I had such a great time interviewing @georebekah.bsky.social about her personal politics. Turns out that childhood experiences of extreme weather radicalised her and got her into climate change work. Really scary and inspiring stories here! amyhoggart.substack.com/p/rebekah-jo...
