I have a reading age of 65. That means I've forgotten how a book started by the time I reach the end. This is why I have to write my own books. 🤔

This book remains available online, in case you were wondering—but now you'll need to buy it. 😉🤔 Available in Kindle, paperback and hardback. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FYD1TGCY

Decades-old racism is returning to British politics, and 'it makes people feel very scared', says Starmer. Almost like living on an 'Island of strangers'?

It takes more than half that time to get to Glasgow by train.

In my career I’ve led a few successful companies. No board ever voted for me to receive a a $1 trillion remuneration package. #Gutted Tesla plans to pay Musk $1tn - do they really need him that much? www.bbc.com/news/article...

There was I thinking Boris Johnson was just a bad dream. I even read my book #BuntersBrexit to my son at nights to scare him. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Why don't they put Boris Johnson and his entire former Cabinet on Celebrity Traitor? (I confess to never having watched a single episode.)

Rachel Reeves is considering plans for a new pay-per-mile tax for electric vehicles worth an extra £250 a year on average. Why not tax people with solar panels too? How about a bicycle tax?

I just finished reading another great book from Alex Gerlis. A highly credible espionage novel set at the outset of WWII that weaves real historical facts with fiction. #WritingCommunity #BookSky #AlexGerlis #Reading

It's hardly 'all quiet on the Western front', despite the lack of headlines about Gaza in the MSM. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

@zackpolanski.bsky.social @georgemonbiot.bsky.social Time for some fresh thinking.

Climate change is not a scam, as Trump raves—but 90% of carbon offset schemes are. This whole area needs a massive shake-up before it's too late. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I think retailers will eventually meld all the festivities into one. There will be a giant fuck off Christmas tree with a pumpkin on top, and Guy Fawkes crucified on it and people will throw Easter egg shaped firebombs at it and the fucker will burn from March to December.

My thriller #TheLastHope is now available as a FREE ebook for just two days, starting today.

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution. The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

On the day that Elon Musk funded Tommy Robinson's legal expenses to return a not-guilty verdict, Just Stop Oil activists were found guilty of public nuisance and may be sentenced up to 10 years in jail. Make it make sense.

I just separated some roses, so I guess that counts.

Proud to announce I’ve just stopped two wars. Not many citizens have done that. Going after Trump’s record.

I have been overlooked again on the birthday honours list. And Dameless Dorries remains dameless. Where is the justice?

In case you were thinking of avoiding the folic acid additive that will be mandatory in all our non-wholemeal flour from 2026, did you know it's illegal to import and sell unfortified’ non-wholemeal wheat flour?

'Once upon a time the adulteration of flour was illegal.' Now they're going to add folic acid to our flour by law from 2026, I'm more and more concerned about what else they're putting in our bread. Give us this day our unadulterated bread, please. www.sustainweb.org/blogs/dec24-...

Who knew that from 2026 they will be adding folic acid to all non-wholemeal flour by law? Common side effects of folic acid include nausea, loss of appetite, and bloating—something to look forward to. Folic acid added to flour to lessen birth defects www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is brilliant

In the days of the last government there would be a special lane established for friends of MPs to respond to a government tender for metal detecting systems.

And while we’re on the subject of animal cruelty. Fireworks. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

You couldn’t make it up. 🤔

People are quick to condemn fox hunting - but what about pheasant shooting? These birds are shot for sport, often by complete amateurs, with inaccurate weapons that rely on a spread of shot to hit the target. Many times the birds are wounded and die an agonising death.

Puts house prices into perspective. This is crazy money.

I was something of a Microsoft expert 10 years ago. I swirched to a Mac and haven’t looked back. My son uses a Windows machine at school so we have a Windows machine for him. I just used it and remembered all the reasons why I switched. 😩😩😩🤬🤬🤬
