Meeting Richard Ratcliffe outside the Foreign Office during his hunger strike to try to get action to free Nazanin. I’m moved by the loyalty and strength of that couple and their family.

On New Year’s day I was so hungover my hair actually hurt. I lay on the sofa with my daughter and we watched The Muppets for two hours and I cried with laughter.

I cry all the time. It’s embarrassing. I mostly cry when my children perform something at school. My wife regularly says, “Do you see any other fathers weeping?” But I can’t stop myself.
