Suitably gobsmacked that WITHERED HILL has been shortlisted in the Best Horror Novel category in the British Fantasy Awards. What a bloody strong field, though! Congrats to all the nominees. britishfantasysociety.org/british-fantas…
Well, this doesn’t look at all like a fascist coup.
I’m hoping to take London in a suit but old habits die hard! 🫡🇬🇧 #MOL2028
An MP just prejudiced a trial after being asked not to, and doesn’t even understand why. Anyone looking for justice being done in Epping, this is probably why you’ll now not see that happen.
Enough Is Enough. I spoke with Nottinghamshire Police yesterday about this case. I was asked not to go public on this matter as it may affect the trial. Why would it affect the trial? Are our judges and juries incompetent? Or is there another reason I am being asked to remain…
Now THIS is how a British Prime Minister holds a press conference with a US President. youtu.be/D6ouyeycWk8?si…
Keir Starmer looks like he's at a wedding introducing to the in-laws the weird uncle who's likely to say something crass any minute.
HAPPENING NOW: @realDonaldTrump, UK leader huddle following breakthrough EU trade pact
Absolutely fucking tremendous. This is THE England team for me in any form of football #Euro2025
Very much learning not to respond in any way to engagement-farming rage-bait blue tick accounts who are basically dancing monkeys spouting bile and shitting out their own self-respect to earn a few hundred bucks from Musk.
Well, I haven’t done any age verification but the For You tab is still full of tits.
Hey @grok who was the most famous person to visit YOUR profile? You’ve worked so hard burning up precious resources answering this question for every egomaniac wannabe starfucker on this platform we should give you a bit of time in the sun.
Just landed upon the heath. Three women gathered. I asked them “When will you meet again?” They responded “When the hurly-burly's done, When the battle's lost and won.” I have a voice recording & their names to report to the Thane of Glamis. We must confront them every time.

This country is fucked not because of three shop workers speaking Hindi to each other but because of this tweet.
Just landed in Heathrow Airport T3. Went into M&S. Three @marksandspencer staff speaking in another language. I asked them “What language are you speaking?” They responded “Hindi” I have a voice recording & their names to report to M&S. We must confront them every time.
One week to go to the audiobook of SCUTTLER'S COVE. Get your pre-orders in now for some seaside folk horror in your ears over the summer. audible.co.uk/pd/Scuttlers-C…
"Mr President, we can't hold off on the Epstein files any longer. We need something to distract them." "Whaddya got?" "They do love aliens and UFOs and all that stuff..."
Writers! Can you hit me up with some book cover designers you have used and loved please? Keen to see who is out there. 👀Bonus points if you show me your covers too. 😊 ⬇️
If enough people on the right keep telling themselves the country's "a tinderbox" and "at boiling point" then guess what's going to happen?
Regarding police escorting groups of people when there are two distinct very large groups of rival people in a small area… some of you have never been to football matches and it shows.
