Do you have a triggering date in your life? For me it was always Valentine’s Day, the date two of my most serious relationships ended. Every year, on 14 February, I couldn’t stop crying. My loathing of V Day paled into insignificance, though, when I was faced with an experience that hit me with a deeper kind of grief.

Why am I only getting smart about money at 34? It’s probably something to do with the fact that I lost two years of my life to serious illness, during which I went, overnight, from being the main breadwinner to practically unemployed, earning about five per cent of my usual salary. At our lowest point it looked as though Ryan and I might lose the house we had spent seven years making into our family home.

I have something to confess: I used to not be very nice to myself. For almost two decades, I drank excessively even though I knew it was bad for me. We all know that drinking isn’t great for our health, but for me it was particularly destructive. I lost a lot thanks to alcohol – everything from phones to boyfriends.

One of the biggest regrets of my life is airing my family’s dirty laundry in the opening chapters of my book. Looking back, I realise I was writing from a very specific time stamp – it was a period when I wasn’t in the best place; frankly, I was traumatised. I wrote Lucky two years after I had almost died giving birth to my son Leo and in that time there had been a lot of tough moments.

It would be fair to say that there’s been quite a lot of drama in my life recently. When I say drama, what I really mean is trauma. As people are quite fond of pointing out to me: ‘God, Louise, you couldn’t write this.’Yet sharing the way my life and health fell apart (on Instagram and then in my book Lucky) has helped me make some kind of sense of it.

As a motorcyclist and a researcher looking at the significance of motorcycle clubs in influencing motorcycle behaviour, the film The Bikeriders would seem to tick all my boxes. It’s inspired by Danny Lyons’ 1968 book of the same name, which followed the lives of the Chicago Outlaws Motorcycle Club through posed and non-posed photographs.

Louise Thompson, University of Manchester Aside from Labour’s landslide victory, the other big story of the 2024 election is the fragmentation of the British parliament and the rise of smaller parties at the expense of the Conservatives. While polls predicted a total wipeout for the Conservatives, they will at least be relieved to know they will still occupy the official opposition benches – something which looked to be on a knife edge just a few days ago.
