Wes Streeting should be held accountable for the deaths of children he caused by removing their medical treatment on ideological grounds, despite warnings from experts. His resignation is not enough, he should be prosecuted for the deaths he's responsible for.

England might be a sea of blue, but Scotland has said no to fascists. Onwards to independence! 🥳

England, you stupid fucking bastards. Will you never learn?

I may be 6 days post-op but the bigots will always vote, so I just popped down to the polling station to try keep Reform out. I couldn't handle taking the dogs, so here's the last time Vixen & Ivy came along with us. #DogsAtPollingStations

Another month, another load of cracking reads 📚

The system is rigged. An illegal war hikes bills for stuggling families - meanwhile energy giants rake in profits. We don't have to live like this any more. Vote Green on May 7th.

It’s silly to complain about writers promoting their work online. Hello! We’re writers. I don’t have a marketing plan & publicity strategy to talk about my books & my publishers don’t boss me around to talk about them. I talk about them because they matter to me more than anything & make some money.

My author copies have arrived! Isn't she stunning?

March 📚 Loads of bangers, loved them all tbh

one of the best feelings I get is when I walk into a bookstore and see multiple books by friends on the shelves and get to feel in a very deep way that I'm living an adult life that my teenage self dreamed about

Girl, Lost is back and better than ever! A bestseller in 2020, this is a brand new edition coming on 30th March. Perfect for fans of Ask For Andrea and The Night She Disappeared. Some secrets don't stay buried... amzn.to/4d3BHNY

February was a month for mood reading. Some bangers, though Monstrilio wasn't quite what I was expecting, and there were too many Harry Potter jumpscares in Hidden Pictures for my liking.

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran. Iraq lessons must be learned. Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe. Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

Me every time I read the news

Out now! In paperback, hardback, ebook and audio!

Starmer: “If you don’t like our policies you can leave.” Voters:

V excited to be interviewing @ldlapinski.bsky.social about their excellent new book in just a couple of weeks! My hardback copy arrived today and she is STUNNING. I'll be first in line at the signing table! Be there or be square 😘

Can he please be charged for the noncing too

what is a writer? a miserable little pile of unpublished secrets.

Sometimes I get a little upset when I live in a collapsing dystopia for many years

Watched Predator Badlands today. What in the male loneliness epidemic was going on there?? Disneyfied nonsense.

Fighting age man flees his homeland to seek asylum on overcrowded island.

This is blackout poetry to me

Ivy is 6 🎈 Happy birthday to our sweet, gentle, mischievous girl 🤍

Just watched The Blair Witch Project for the first time since I was a kid, and wow, some of the reviews are just DRIPPING in misogyny. These men see a 'hysterical' 'demanding bitch'; I see a young woman trying to keep it together (and taking the blame) for the other two dickheads.

Look, I'm a hater of generative AI. But harassing authors for unconfirmed use of AI in their books, particularly marginalised authors, has got to stop. Meanwhile you're all still using products by the companies that scraped our books for profit. Behave.

BREAKING: Peter Mandelson just sent this secret notice to all UK media, demanding they leave him alone. He uses IPSO clauses designed to support grieving families in a bid to stop scrutiny of his relationship with Epstein We have published it in full. www.thenational.scot/news/2583451...

I don’t know why Rowling is being treated as a hero for paying tax just like everyone else. Everyone who works pays a proportionate amount of tax. Same when these celebrities give to charities when it’s peanuts to them. People are too easily impressed by rich people doing the bare minimum.

One of the most disgusting, brutal and unpunished child‑abuse networks in the world… And the usual voices who claim to care about ‘women and girls’ have nothing to say. We see you.

I bet he’s sweating now.

My January 2026 reads, starting the year off strong! #booksky

The creativity of the Stranger Things fandom has far surpassed that of the Duffer Brothers because what do you MEAN the inconsistencies meant nothing??

Good morning from Antarcti— I mean Aberdeenshire ❄️

It's you, it's me, it's us

A brave explorer (Ivy) traverses a bleak landscape (her back garden) in search of treasure (a ball) hidden in the snow.

Me watching the Stranger Things finale

in 2026 we are NOT hustling, we are NOT grinding, we are doing just enough Job to have money for Video Game

Ivy wishes you all a very happy and restful festive season, however you're spending it 🎄

People are harshing on some “diverse reading challenge” thing that’s going around, and I get it, but looking at what you read and asking yourself “what isn’t represented here?” is imo a good and healthy practice

Unsurprisingly, Sinners is way out in front, with Jurassic World Rebirth an overall disappointment. Honourable mentions to Please Don't Feed the Children and Until Dawn, which were far more enjoyable than I expected, and Fear Street: Prom Queen and Totally Killer were fun slashers.

We got there (eventually). Well done to the junior colleague who had the courage to report. www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...
