About Me

I'm a British author and political commentator with a keen interest in science fiction, particularly time travel films. I'm probably best known for my book Slaying Brexit Unicorns, which debunks many of the myths surrounding Brexit. My work has appeared in Byline Times, The New European, and other outlets, and previously in The Daily Yomiuri, Tokyo Classified, Kansai Time Out, Karakuchinet Homepage Check 1000, Hon'yaku No Sekai, and Professional English magazine.

After studying Computer Science at university, I spent 15 thrilling years in Tokyo before returning to the UK. When I'm not setting the world to rights on social media, I manage websites, trade domain names, read avidly, and write whenever I can coax the inspiration genie out. I live with my wife in Cambridge, where I await the Singularity with equal parts excitement and trepidation.

On Bluesky and Twitter, I blend facts and stats with sarcasm and gallows humour, covering topics from Brexit and politics to AI and other geeky subjects. Sunlight makes me sneeze.
