Goodbye to all that. I'm not the Children's Laureate any more. I hope people will be as supportive of @lawrencepatrice.bsky.social as they were of me ...

I wish just one NATO leader (or all of them) would say, "This is unacceptable. The US president has lost his mind. America come get your boy. He's broken and needs to be under a doctor's care back home." I wish someone would tell the damn truth about what's happening.

So pleased to see Patrice Lawrence announced as the new Children’s Laureate here in the UK. What an inspirational woman she is! ☺️

What a startling, completely unpredictable outcome. 🙄
