@johnboyne I’ve just spent the day reading Air, I couldn’t put it down. A very satisfying ending. I really enjoyed reading the quartet, although I found Fire a disturbing read. Thanks for writing these great books. What’s next?

#broadcastinghouse Jess Phillips may not agree with Andrew Neil

Great to see @maitlis back on TV. Really liking this lineup, except Dorries and Widdecombe. @Channel4 #c4BritainDecides

Everything you need to know about Nigel Farage

@JULES53685245 Her body language says it all!

Thanks to the wonderful Aldridge Volunteer Gardeners, we can planted a tree today outside Aldridge Library as part of #GreenLibrariesWeek

@jonathancoe Look forward to hearing an extract at the B’ham Lit Fest in October!!

@LBFlyawayhome The Party - I love the Harry Wingfield pictures. Who was M.E.Gagg N.FU. Who wrote it?

You can only pick one. Which one?

@KirstieMAllsopp We were saying exactly this in our Walsall Community Litter Watch Facebook Group yesterday. We have some amazing volunteer litter pickers in Walsall, enabled by the Council, but frankly it’s impossible to keep up.

Part of the reason I ask is that I drove down the M40 from London to Oxford on Friday and I have never seen so much roadside litter anywhere in the world, and I am blessed to have travelled to many places.

Dear Carol, from Carole… Love @carolvorders. And loved writing this open letter in praise of her frank & fearless decision to speak out. What’s happening in our country isn’t ‘politics’. And it isn’t ‘normal’: it’s corruption, corruption, corruption theguardian.com/culture/2023/f…

Worthy winner, well done James. What a lovely show, I really enjoyed it. #PotteryThrowdown

@mancunianmedic Yes! Has this a few weeks ago caused by some satsumas. Very annoying and took two or three weeks to get rid of them.

@mrmarksteel Wtf I keep hearing folk say this in Walsall today: `I would love to see Boris back. He may have his faults but I strongly believe he is the best person to get us through this economic situation. Boris got us through Brexit when no-one else could. Bring Back BORIS!!'

I can’t believe I’m asking this, but for the podcast, has anyone got something they’d like to ask what the fuck is going on with it? Anything come to mind? Anything at all?

THANK YOU to everyone for supporting Aldridge Community Library in raising £210 for the wonderful Breast Cancer Now Charity. 🥰 #wearitpink

My son has lived through four chancellors, three home secretaries, two prime ministers and two monarchs. He's four months old.

I don’t usually sanction graffiti, but I think Walsall got it right here! #EnoughIsEnough #Walsall #streetphotography

@SlenderSherbet This is me playing Monopoly!

Thank you @BhamLitFest for a fab event, really well curated. I’ve enjoyed some fascinating talks & spent way too much money on books! #BLF2022 Hope you’re back in 2023.

@hanrahanistan Respect to your dad, I love a Twirl! Wonder what he’d make of the Orange Twirls & Mondelez, come to that. I worked on Bournville Lane & had access to the staff shop - an absolute disaster for my waist line!

my father died 20 years ago today an industrial chocolatier, among other things he figured out how to cover a Flake with an extra layer of chocolate, thus inventing the Twirl
