Writer of the Month January 2022

 First competition of the New Year and ChrisF has romped home by a country mile.  To be fair, Ian Searle in second place has scored 25 of his 27 points with headlines!  Due to technical difficulties with the chat room I've put all the ticker data and the result of the Cartoonist of the month competition below the leader board and sub links.
