Some good news. London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces. The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

I have bought and installed a new printer. I feel like Zsa Zsa Gabor embarking on her eighth marriage.

Ended up at a hospital A&E early this morning. In the next cubicle a team of medical professionals were trying to save a baby, brought in by ambulance and police. Of the maybe ten people I saw, only two were white British. It made me think: if Farage gets his way, what is going to happen to our NHS?

It is still September and I have just booked my Christmas groceries delivery slot. I don't know whether to be smug or just embarrassed.

And sorry for the swearing but Jeez. I mean.

I know there's a lot to keep your jaw dropping these days, but how the actual fuckety fuck is Mandelson still in his post?

Keir Starmer says Peter Mandelson "has repeatedly expressed his deep regret for his association with" Jeffrey Epstein. When asked about Epstein by the Financial Times in February, Mandelson said: "It’s an FT obsession and frankly you can all fuck off. OK?”

Brilliant night & also supporting a brilliant cause! #SophieKinsella #JoJoMoyes #JennyColgan #LisaJewell #MikeGayle #MattThorne #StellaDuffy #TheBrainTumourCharity 👉 www.waterstones.com/events/shopa... @jojomoyes.bsky.social @jennycolgan.bsky.social

Just went to see Naked Gun with two of my kids. The local movie theatre was packed. We laughed from the opening scene till the final credits. Highly recommend.

Modern life: trying to consume just enough news and social media to stay informed but not so much that you become paranoid or mentally unwell.

I might be in an entirely different country (ie. London) but seems that the only thing at boiling point is the heads of the people who keep telling each other the country is at boiling point.

"England is heading for national shortfall of five billion litres of water a day by 2055." Next time you hear about an explosion of AI usage, think about how wildly environmentally inefficient it is. #PlanetaryBoundaries #WaterStress www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

Made a new one 😁

The Ballad Of Wallis Island is, imho, an almost perfect film. I laughed and then I cried. Outstanding performances, especially from Tim Key. Do go and see it.

I'll be appearing at the Festival of Words in London's Fleet Street with Mike Gayle this afternoon, discussing how to create fictional characters. I think there are still some tickets left if you're nearby www.eventbrite.com/e/jojo-moyes....

Queen Camilla has announced the return of her charity’s book festival, with a change of location and headliners including Jilly Cooper, Helen Fielding and @jojomoyes.bsky.social . Tickets for The Queen’s Reading Room festival went on sale at 10am today 👇 #BookSky

Fantastic ending to Baroness Kidron's speech in the House of Lords yesterday, which led to the government's defeat on AI & copyright. Speaking the UK's creators: "Their property, their labour, is worthy of your protection - because apart from anything else, it is not ours to give away."

Seems a little fucked up that they say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover and then just deadass put book reviews there

(It's three days since I finished it and I'm still thinking about it)

I started watching Dying For Sex thinking I was watching a half hour comedy series. It turned into one of the most profound and moving pieces of television I've watched in years. I sobbed my way through the last two episodes. Michelle Williams is incandescent and extraordinary.

Yes the world is a bin fire but Danny Dyer as Harry Potter on Last One Laughing asking: "do you want me to tongue you" has just made me glad to be alive.

In surely unrelated news, the Tony Blair Institute was given $200m by the owner of Oracle, a major AI player.

For those of you interested in writing, I interviewed Lisa Jewell about how she writes her best-selling twisty thrillers without knowing the plot beforehand. Or even having any idea where she's headed. jojomoyes.substack.com/p/i-need-my-...

'Beeban Kidron said the government was undermining its own growth agenda with proposals to let AI companies train their algorithms on creative works under a new copyright exemption.'

This is the most reassuring thing I've read in weeks.

If anyone needs some comfort viewing, the 1995 Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle is on BBC iPlayer just now.

In related news if anyone wants me to write a sequel to When Harry Met Sally I'm available.

it's a nice ad and all, but am I the only one disappointed that the great reunion between Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal turned out to be for... mayonnaise?

oh no did someone steal your IP without fair compensation

I loved #WeAllLiveHere from @jojomoyes.bsky.social and @michaeljbooks.bsky.social. A wonderful tale about the messy lives of a blended family. Next up is the intriguing #LifeHacksForALittleAlien from Alice Franklin and Quercus Books

I’m not making any New Year’s resolutions. I feel like the years need to get better, not me

The BBC needs to have a debate about whether Musk's outbursts should keep leading the news. This isn't about censoring or suppressing his views; it's about whether to amplify them. Most Brits aren't on X, they don't follow Musk & not every raving from a foreign plutocrat should set the news agenda

Little PSA just to say A Real Pain is excellent, and will make you love Kieran Culkin even more.

making strangers on the internet cry by posting this story is my newest seasonal tradition. merry christmas, everyone x www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazin...

I'm sorry - are we just allowed to set up companies that aren't legally affordable? What are you? Thames Water? If you can't pay for what you use, you don't get to use it. You get to make money off the back of the work of people whom you don't pay? Get absolutely fucked. Go disrupt your own anus.

The details of the Pelicot case are even worse than I had imagined. Am I the only one weeping reading them? I am in awe of Gisele's strength.

Great thread. TL;DR: Women will always end up disappointing someone. 😬

Okay I just watched the Strictly final and damn, now I know why you were all crying.

Modern life is full of rip-offs but my god HP printer cartridges are right up there. I've had toilet rolls that lasted longer.

I do not know what to make of this. But I suspect I'll be thinking about it for a while.

This is my go-to when parents ask me how to get their kids to read (because this is just something authors know). It’s *amazing* to me how much resistance it gets. Likewise “let them read books about spaceships, ninjas and magic.”
