This morning, we have a very special @bigissue Christmas edition out on the streets. We published an additional mag this year, to give our vendors a fighting chance of really earning. Then, new lockdown restrictions hit...
The restrictions are of course a damnable new twist and hard for everybody. But they really hammer @bigissue vendors who still rely on the street to make their living. And Christmas time is so key. But you can help. If you are lucky enough to be out and about, do buy from them...
And if you are unable to get out you can subscribe to @bigissue, you can subscribe from your local vendor ( http://bigissue.com/support ) or buy copies from http://bigissueshop.com . We will be your lockdown pick-me-up!
It's a really belting mag you'll be treating yourself to as well. What's it like to one of the only people in the universe safe from Covid. We have a great interview with astronaut @Astro_Jessica who spent much of the year on the ISS
We speak to @AmandaOwen8, the Yorkshire Shepherdess about why the farming life and Yorkshire hills are so attractive right now
We have a rare interview with Heavyweight Champion of The World @Tyson_Fury . We discuss Trump, the Pope, Tommy Shelby and mental health
Discover the @bigissue Book Of The Year, plus the picks of our critics, and the favourite independently published books of this year as chosen by our panel including @rufuswainwright, @NicolaSturgeon, @sophiedahl, @benokri and @mrmarkmillar
Inside, you'll also find a brilliant Poem For Christmas, from our street poet vendor Omar Miller
And there's interviews with @AndreaBocelli, @angelascanlon, Christmas messages from our brilliant ambassador @Sab_CohenHatton AND the chief, @johnbirdswords
Finally, for now, I direct you to @Woodhouse_72's fiendishly tricky Christmas quiz. He's been coming up with questions to entertain and divert since March. It's a great way to keep you entertained.
I will keep pushing the @bigissue message. You'll get fed up with it. Your support is never been more important. And to you all, who have done so much already in this terrible, emotional year, THANK YOU!
