My most controversial take yet, in the Times today: the new Guide Badges aren't a patch on the old thetimes.com/comment/column…
Currently reading Unkind by @glosswitch . Highly recommend. A radical piece of writing that cuts right to the quick of gendered expectations - I want to give it to every liberal feminist I know.
When a YouTube commenter comes out of nowhere and absolutely nails it
“Every generation must find employment for its duller lights. In the 1960s a grifter could become a guru. Going back further, there were exorcists. Today there are diversity officers, who drive the bad thoughts from our heads, but don’t know their arse from their whatever.”
This week's @thetimes column is about NHS Fife, which surely tolled the bell for the diversity officer, a job made for these times thetimes.com/comment/column…

✨ Introducing my new book: “ELEANOR: A 200 MILE WALK IN SEARCH OF ENGLAND’S LOST QUEEN” ✨ In November and December 2024, I set out on an epic journey. I walked 200 miles to trace one of the most romantic, often overlooked stories of British history: The Eleanor Crosses. So…
.@panmacmillan has signed Eleanor: On the Trail of England's Lost Queen, a history of the lost medieval queen by @history_alice bookbrunch.co.uk/page/article-d… (£)
Can't help but feel that all the talk of the "mental health epidemic" is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

DON'T GIVE UP...to all the would-be WRITERS out there. The book shown here is one I wrote a long time ago, and it's the story that secured me my brilliant agent. It wasn't the right thing to get a publishing deal initially, but it's a tale I LOVED writing, with a character I…
Okay my lovelies, #WatchingYou is out on August 28, and I wouldn't lie to you, it's actually a pretty darned good book. But because I don't have Richard Osman's marketing budget, Louise Minchin's TV platform, Richard Coles' publicist or any other celebrity writer's stranglehold…
