New Statesman: announcing our new bloggers

Glosswitch, Martin Robbins, Bim Adewunmi, Ryan Gilbey and Kate Mossman join the "blogging powerhouse".

By Helen Lewis

Five new bloggers today join the New Statesman team, writing about parenting, pop culture, film, music and science. Meet the newest additions to our “blogging powerhouse” (seriously, that’s what we called it last time we had newbies).

Glosswitch

A mother of two, and writer of the Glosswatch blog, she describes herself as a “humourless feminist in mummy blogger clothing”. In her previous posts for the NS, she has dared to defend “yummy mummies” and told off Benedict Cumberbatch. She tweets @glosswitch
