Sam Butler has been SX's resident snarky political writer since 2005. When not slamming MPs in Evolution magazines he's a scribe of the will-write-for-food variety, subeditor, punctuation princess and big fan of Hitchcock films, Sondheim musicals, red wine and travelling. You can usually find him lurking on twitter (@queerpenguin) or in a gym pretending to enjoy training for good health and fitness but secretly wishing there were a miracle pill for it."
