Your reminder:
Brexit & the Tories have brought disgrace & decline on our country.
They've polluted our country as they have polluted our rivers & beaches.
The Tories (UKIP/BNP) are funnelling our tax money from our pockets to their cronies' offshore accounts.
We're being mugged.

You can run, but you can't hide - I'm all over the place in September... 🚂 If you want to join me (which would be lovely) go to my website Events page (above). #ThisWritingLife #WomenInHistory ChawtonHouse Brontë Parsonage Museum Appledore Book Festival GeorgianTheatreRoyal
