This is STILL up for grabs! #buyastrangerabook

It's #buyastrangerabook day today, and as the rich & privileged continue to evade anything like real justice, @sallyhinkley.bsky.social is offering to buy someone a copy of Nobody's Girl by Virginia Giuffre. If you'd like a copy, get in touch. UK only.

#buyastrangerabook is so odd sometimes. If i'd posted "for a chance to win Justin's book just repost and follow" i'd have had LOADS of reposts. But if i'm just offering to send the book courtesy of Nathalie for free, it all gets a bit awkward. If you want the book, just ask!

If you've not bought a book from me today, don't worry. You can do it tomorrow. I've sold 7 books today, so seven of you are now relieved of your duties. The rest of you, I'm ready for a torrent of book requests. I am a single human person, but I reckon I can cope with 12,500 orders. Ta.

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to read books in a cottage during a pouring rain in front of a crackling fire whilst enjoying a plate of emotional support cinnamon rolls?

Over the weekend Kemi Badenoch claimed unemployment has gone up “every single month” since Labour took office, and that it’s been left higher by “every Labour government in history”. Neither of these claims is quite right—our fact check has the figures 👇

If we can’t watch Hocus Pocus together whilst carving jack-o’-lanterns and having hot apple cider by candlelight during a full moon on a cool October night with the sound of wolves in the distance, then what's the point?
