In future, it would also be good to save time on distracting phrases such as “love-in” or “as humanly possible” or "in fact" - and use that time to figure out what should, in fact, be hyphenated as correctly as humanly possible (i.e. like-minded and carefully choreographed). 4/5

Also, though occasional use of questions and/or question marks works well to break up your text and focus your readers' attention onto key elements, getting into double figures in such a short piece is overkill. Don’t you think? 3/5

Also, the kids are knackered, we've got half-term family visits coming up, and school shows to navigate. But if we had time, it would have been to Christina Aguilera's 'Fighter'. And yes, there would have been a lettuce cited, and a play on rhymes with Hunt.

A parody song that never happened. It would’ve been good: an adaptation of “The Prologue” & “Any Dream Will Do” from @OfficialALW ’s Joseph (about the #Clarkson column). But younger 3 want to chillax for Xmas & Alfie (correctly) feels that there’s little to gain in feeding the ego

The reports of our deaths on various anti-vaxxer threads are greatly exaggerated. And also hilarious. Especially when mixed with massive confusion about whether the song (from 2 years ago) was actually ironic.

It’s hard to comprehend the deaths of 12,800 children. We put up figures of children on our studio walls - one for each child killed in Gaza during the war. They’re dying from airstrikes and now malnutrition and dehydration. These are some of their stories.
