I didn't write the headline, though. Writing @thetimes, talking @timesradio Monday-Thursday, 10am-1pm. Latest novel, Rabbits, at link below...
My novel *Rabbits* is out today in paperback. I feel you should definitely buy it. Here are some of the lovely things readers have said about it over the last few months.
My parents were murdered on October 7th, and if anyone is slapping us in the face, it's people like you, who for the past 20 years have failed to prevent violence and bloodshed in Israel-Palestine, whilst making inflammatory remarks. Your administration could stop the war…
The United States strongly rejects @EmmanuelMacron’s plan to recognize a Palestinian state at the @UN general assembly. This reckless decision only serves Hamas propaganda and sets back peace. It is a slap in the face to the victims of October 7th.

I wrote this in 2017 about the difficulty in drawing political conclusions from the behaviour of crowds at Glastonbury.
🎉 FIFTH BIRTHDAY 🎉 From elections to coronations to groundbreaking interviews, watch some of our presenters share their best moments from the past five years, and what is yet to come! If you haven’t tried out Times Radio, why not tune in today?
PS @TimesRadio is so great you even end up taking your friends on holiday (kind of) @StigAbell @hugorifkind
Happy 5th birthday to my absolute pride and joy, @TimesRadio - the only radio station to fulfil the dream of 11-year-old Calum: to make a living from being on the radio. The biggest brains spotted an opportunity in UK radio, and have smashed it ever since. It makes me so proud to…

Great to talk with @hugorifkind this morning on @TimesRadio about Our Dear Friends in Moscow, with @irinaborogan. thetimes.com/radio/show/202…
“The fault line in the Labour Party runs right through Keir Starmer.” As the government deals with the crisis in the Middle East, @Dannythefink explains why it's a particularly difficult issue for the PM. 🗳️ How To Win An Election 🎧 pod.fo/e/2e8b0f 🎙️ @HugoRifkind
This week on PMQs unpacked we were joined by Chris Ward MP, who most other weeks helps Keir Starmer prepare for the showdown. Utterly fascinating and surprisingly candid. pod.fo/e/2e7d70
