Happy birthday Emma! I really enjoy your insights and writing. I can't believe we haven't met in the Labour jungle - I feel we must have done. Like other commenters, I worry that I agree with too much of what you write. Perhaps you could do a future piece on areas in which progressives are guilty of groupthink, and need to give ourselves a shake. Have a great party!
Beautiful words. You write very well and I enjoy your columns (slightly worried that’s just because I always agree with you, but there you go). Happy birthday! I turned 50 last year and I can exclusively reveal it is extremely similar to being 49, the only difference being some surveys where you have to tick the “Not long for this world” 50-59 years box.
And good luck with the Northern Lights - though a word of warning. Did two trips to see them in Iceland, and just saw blurry patches in the sky. Saw nothing of them in Norway, but at home in South London have had two magnificent views of them in the past two years!
Have a wonderful birthday and keep up the good fight
Thank you!
Happy birthday Emma! What an incredible decade.
Thanks so much! X

Thank you! It does seem odd doesn’t it?
Certainly always worth exploring our priors! Will think about what that post looks like!

Ha! I am sure you're right. Just as I am also sure I will resent the box thing!
And thank you! X
Happy birthday, Emma! Love your writing.

I will tell myself that what I'm really after is the majesty of the frozen tundra!
Oh and thank you!
Northern lights in Morden!
