Why don't more people read #thebigissue? Real scoops (#Braverman's questionable CV, Bat's call centre food banks this year alone) and John Bird's penetrating essay in every issue. Competitively priced and a fiendish Sudoku. And the potential to help someone rebuild their life.

No heating, no hot water (other than boiling a kettle), no shower or bath. Slept in a hat! Bought hot water bottle for day and night.

Only been 24 hours, but no boiler for a few days is quite a thrilling adventure!! 😅

While I jest that we're mildly inconvenienced for a weekend, please remember there are vulnerable and #homeless folk suffering. Check neighbours, donate to #TrussellTrust, buy #TheBigIssue, buy hot food/drink for someone.

Stuart Braithwaite from Mogwai wrote a beautiful piece for us at #TheBigIssue. He talks about how much #TheCure mean to him, and his memories of Mimi from Low. It’s so moving. Music is everything.
