Well, that was the last piece I'll ever have to upload for the site. As of Monday I am editor-at-large rather than editor of Politics.co.uk.

This'll rightly mean fuck all to you. It's just about the work that's done behind the scenes - commissioning, editing, subbing, publishing etc. But to me it is a massive deal.

I've been trying to get to this kind of situation for years: where I can be financially stable on writing alone, without having to do other things in order to fund it. Now I've actually... well, it seems I've actually fucking achieved it.

For the first time in my life, I am a full time writer, without needing any other source of income.

I don't say this much, but thanks to all who read my stuff - on the site and everywhere else. It's because that happens that this is remotely possible for me.

So it's extra lockdown drinks for me tonight, and posher stuff than usual.

So touched by everyone being lovely about this - cheers guys. Normal grumpy service resumes tomorrow.
