There must be (some number!) of other good writers of long form prose in the UK who cannot get their work published. I don't mean, tossed into the dead space of the carnivores, Amazon/Kindle & co. I mean *published*. Where are they? How to find them?

Even if this was a reasonable policy - which it isn’t - are you really going to trust the Americans only to fly defensive missions from the bases? What are they going to say? ‘Scout’s honor?’

UK will allow US to use its UK airfields for "defensive" attacks on Iran, says the Guardian headline. I nearly wrote "Iraq". How did that one go, remind me? I can only assume Starmer is trying to completely destroy the UK Labour Party

#Iran
It's the final bankrupcy of Europe. How can we talk about Russian atrocities in Ukraine while poodling to America & Israel's carpet bombing of Iran? I feel absolute disgust with Starmer, Macron & friends

It really is the LAST DAY of the crowdfunder for my novel, Partisan, which weaves together a
#war-story
, a
#coming-of-age
story, and a
#mid-years-of-our-lives
story, unfolding together against the backdrop of these wild hills in the north of Italy.
