When I started out on my tache oddysey at the beginning of September, I wasn’t sure entirely what to expect. Aside from the physical act of transforming my facial hair, I’ve found myself talking about my tache all the time to anyone who’ll listen. I’ve met a lot of new people in September, and I’ve [...]
Just arrived in Manchester for Labour Party Conference. Strictly speaking, our hotel is actually in Salford and a bit of a trek to the main event.
