I was incredibly lucky to be invited to the media screening of
#runningmanmovie
tonight in London! I can’t share my full review until next week because a) embargoes and b) I literally left the theatre half an hour ago, but I can tell you that I had a really, really good time watching.

After 4 months of a near-total Israeli siege, Gaza’s hospitals now have wards for the malnourished children whose tiny bodies are just the width of their bones. Aid groups had warned of this for more than a year. Now a worst case scenario is upon us.

Well guess what? I will be likely to produce a best seller before 2030 if a publisher buys my book when it goes on sub and spends lots of money marketing it everywhere and the book buyers decide its the book of the summer. Also I will not use up all the water on the planet. I'm the better option.
