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).

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
