Good Morning! We’ve got wonderful news for you! Absolutely delighted that Horatio Clare’s We Came by Sea has been shortlisted for the 2025 #NeroBookAwrds. It’s a very impressive shortlist. The paperback is now at the printers and is available for pre order! @horatioclare.bsky.social #BookSky

I'm late to this party, but Aubrey and the Terrible Yoot by @horatioclare.bsky.social and illustrated by Jane Matthews (not sure if she's on Bluesky) is a brilliant book, that deals with its serious subject with imagination and hope. I'm very glad I finally got round to reading it.

Grok AI says its master Elon Musk's cuts to US AID will cause 2-3 million preventable deaths per year. The idea that a man so politically ignorant, socially cruel and pathologically narcissistic should have the remotest idea about the UK, or anything whatsoever to contribute to our future, is a joke

‘As Union Jacks are appearing, even in this corner of rural Gloucestershire, this book carries a different flag. Stories of a greater Britain.’ @horatioclare.bsky.social's ‘We Came By Sea’ tells migrants’ stories with humanity, writes Sue Brooks www.caughtbytheriver.net/2025/09/we-c...

Reading this insightful book by @horatioclare.bsky.social - he quotes Clare Moseley of Care4Calais "If we had put all the billions of pounds we're spending on the asylum backlog, on the hotels, on the holding centres, on Rwanda, on all the security into investing in infrastructure and jobs..imagine"

Grateful for the opportunity to add my name to this list of writers calling for a boycott. I remember the consumer boycott of South Africa towards the end of Apartheid. History shows that made a small difference. Thx @horatioclare.bsky.social for organising this. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

We made the Times of Israel. Writers, send me your name to sign www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Glad to have signed this deeply thought-through letter. It often feels there’s little we can do, yet we can’t let what we witness on our screens & in print numb or paralyse us. Until the civilians of Gaza are safe & given adequate food, water, medical aid & relief. TY @horatioclare.bsky.social

What a generous, compassionate project and book @horatioclare.bsky.social. I hope it helps raise awareness of (and funds for) the fine humanitarian work done by some of the institutions discussed, such as the RNLI.

Thank you, Rob!

This is a big story. Finally, the BBC its actual self, credited here as 'BBC insiders', speaks out, after all the flak it's taken for not being allowed to be itself www.theguardian.com/media/2025/j...

My review of #WeCameBySea by the brilliant @horatioclare.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/tomgaisf...

A piece for the new Observer - special places, and time observer.co.uk/style/travel... Dad was on Observer under David Astor, when it was going bust. A doc about it shows him furious, looking like Redford playing Woodward, complaining three more superb reporters have been fired that morning

Speaking in London, August 6 with @nicolakellywrites.bsky.social & @horatioclare.bsky.social. Tickets here: www.foyles.co.uk/events/on-mi... @foylesforbooks.bsky.social

Great to see your article in the Tablet Horatio @horatioclare.bsky.social . Your book is here too. Thank you so much for telling these story and stick up for truth and compassion.

We Came by Sea TV. At 11'35" the fun begins. Thank you so much, Charlotte Wright and BBC Politics S.East. Sorry about the PR car crash, Putin-pal Nigel Farage and GB News. Your time is UP www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

We did this. Proud of everyone who signed www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Published writers - for the last few days Kapka Kassabova, Monqiue Roffey and I have been gathering signatures for an open letter (coming early this week) calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. If you would like to see it with a view to signing, please send me your email. Thank you.

I don't live in a nation of strangers. I live in a nation of friends and unknown friends. I live in a truly Great Britain

What Nicola said - Anywhere but Here and We Came By Sea - come and help us change the national conversation

First review of We Came By Sea and it's a beauty! Thank you, Maggie Fergusson... www.spectator.co.uk/article/its-...

www.telegraph.co.uk/books/non-fi... I reviewed this terrific book for the Telegraph

I reviewed a masterpiece for the Spectator. Adam Nicolson is truly some sort of polymathic genius, and whether you know lots or nothing about birds this is very, very special. . www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-...

I was really honoured to be asked to do this interview with the legendary journalist and broadcaster Michael Goldfarb @MGEmancipation We need a completely new conversation about the small boat crossings. Here's a start soundcloud.com/michael-gold...

The @IDF acknowledges 'failures' in massacring paramedics, acknowledging that crushing and burying their vehicles and bodies was an error. If you were briefly concerned that Israel now struggles to tell the difference between a professional mistake and an obscene war crime, relax

Why aren't all decent nations sanctioning and boycotting the ghastly UAE, which is arming the genocidal rapists of Sudan's RSF?

Do we have an over-diagnosis problem? Not compared to our inequality problem. Excellent piece by @hannahdevlin.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

My new book is about freedom, hope and love - and it's a true story of the small boat crossings. Available to order from @littletollerbooks.bsky.social
