“I was fairly confident, but not to get the result that I got.” The last few years since leaving Batley Grammar School have been revelatory for Joshua. He says the Brexit vote in 2016 was the catalyst in propelling him towards politics. “Brexit sparked my interest in politics. I couldn’t vote in 2016 but having researched the issues and read widely on the subject I know now that I would have voted leave. “I read all the party ideologies and realised that I aligned with the Conservatives. “That’s where it all started for me.” He also praised his colleagues at Fox’s Biscuits who set aside traditional divisions to not only offer support but to accompany him on the slog to deliver leaflets during an election campaign constrained by Covid restrictions.
GOVERNMENT planning reforms aimed at speeding up permissions for new developments will be “disastrous”, according to Labour in Kirklees. The Lib Dems say democracy will be “stripped out of the process” and that neither the public nor local councillors who represent them will have a say when already weakened safeguards are killed off. Both Labour and the Lib Dems have urged local MPs to oppose the bill. But local Tories say the government’s proposals represent an opportunity for disadvantaged younger people to get a foot on the housing ladder. Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick revealed last year that the government would speed up building by giving “permission in principle” to developments on land designated “for growth, renewal or protection”.
Princess Diana dancing with actor John Travolta at the White House in 1985
London-based 3DD Productions is funding and distributing a feature documentary to mark what would have been Princess Diana’s 60th birthday.
Princess Diana: Who Do You Think She Was? (1×60’) looks at the Princess of Wales’ ancestry dating back to the 18th century, and will be delivered on June 1 this year.
Born Diana Spencer, the princess became part of the British royal family when she married Prince Charles in 1981. They divorced in 1996, and Diana died in a car crash the following year.
Contributors to the show include historians Tessa Dunlop, Sarah Gristwood, James Falkner, Dr Luke Blaxill, Dr Anna Whitelock and Dr Joanna Lewis.
Gina Meyer, the hero of my new supernatural spy comic,
Shadow Service, is the culmination of my lifelong obsession with occult detectives and magical investigators. Co-created with incredible artist Corin Howell, Gina is a young witch who uses her powers (and her relationship with a sarcastic talking rat) to find missing people on the streets of London, a precarious business that brings her onto the radar of Britain’s very own occult security service, known in the trade as MI666.
To celebrate the release of volume one of the series, which collects issues one to five in one handy package, SciFiNow+ asked me to list my five favourite supernatural detectives, each of which have influenced the creation of Gina and the shadowy organisation that has her in its sights. As you might expect from a Brit, my choices are maybe a little anglo-centric, but hey, this sceptred isle of ours is steeped in magic and ghosts. It’s in our bones…
