I’m Andrew Gunn. My ACC code is ‘Writer’, which I keep up my sleeve for when people ask ‘Sure, but what’s your day job?. I’ve written some TV, some movies, and some books.

I have a possibly-unhealthy interest in politics and current affairs, and The Press has gamely published a regular column by me over the course of our last five prime-minister-ships.

There are lots of opinions, reckons, and hot takes out there, many by wiser heads than mine. But my little niche lies in trying to eke out a chortle, chuckle or titter from people who, like me, find themselves a little bewildered by the trainwreck / dumpster fire / hell-bound hand-cart that is the current state of play.

Puts a smile on my face before I get to work on that bloody rock - Sisyphus
