Oh, hello bestseller flag in US! Very lovely to see you. 😎 mybook.to/aFcg

@Lizzy11268 Yuk.

And this? The BBC framing these fathers as VICTIMS making the 'impossible' choice to SELL THEIR CHILDREN. Gosh. Which children do you think they sell and which ones do they keep? BET YOU CAN'T GUESS!!!

@LouiseMangos In my experience, these things (like having payments suspended for weeks) are triggered by their bots & they don't give a reason. The only way to get things reversed is to keep pushing for review by a human.

@VickyNewham @amazon I’m confused as to why. And also fuming. I’m sorry. Reviews for your books were amongst them.

Apologies to all the #authors I have written legitimate #reviews for over the past two decades. @amazon has today removed all my reviews and will not let me post any new ones, without any explanation. As an #author I know how valuable every review is for book exposure. #Annoyed

@radiomukhers @theJeremyVine I'm reading the first one!

Right, @theJeremyVine , I’m Turning the Dial for Murder!

A self-published book longlisted for the CWA Daggers is virtually unheard of. I still can’t believe it’s true. Little Secrets was supposed to be my ‘break out book’. “Life’ didn’t go as planned… leaving me agentless. But I’ve been determined to do what I can for my book.

@VictoriaGoldma2 Yay! Well done.

@MikeTappTweets Country first isn't just about stability though. I don't want to see a hasty replacement but if he can't provide adequate & appropriate leadership, and communicate about what matters, propping him up is not in the country's interests.

Lots to do and stability is key. Let’s get on with it!

@SkyNews @SophyRidgeSky @WilfredFrost The media have def played a role in Starmer's unpopularity. A few key reporters have been down on him from the start, to the point of being out of order IMO.

@cjtudor comboed with the dark colours, it's great.

@VickyNewham Thanks! Normally I'm not a 'pink' person 😁but I love how it's used here!

Did I mention how much I LOVE this cover? 😁

@MargretGeraghty Oh, i noticed that the other day. I wondered if I was imagining things.

For anyone who has sent me a DM, please note that I can't access them anymore since the message button disappeared and was replaced by Chat. Sorry about that.

@Sally_writes My old garden was walled too but a hedgehog still got in. I was surprised... but there it was.

@VickyNewham Our garden is fully enclosed with walls. Don’t think a hedgehog could get in!

He has been staring at this corner for ten minutes and giving the occasional whine. I feel like this is the moment when I solve a twenty year mystery and unearth a dead body. I have investigated, crawled under a bush, got my hair stuck on a twig. NOTHING

@KiaAbdullah @HarrogateFest @HQstories @BookEndsJessica @bookendslit @ManpreetEditor Well done, Kia. 🤞

@patmarsh It fascinates me that location, orientation & type make such a difference to growth. Some are literally only just starting to grow while others are in full bloom!

@VickyNewham Good spots Vicky, thanks for sharing!

A couple of days ago @BBCRadioKent we has a call on Sunday Gardening about wisteria. I happened to spot this magnificent display, on my way into #Sevenoaks earlier. As Rhod Jones told us @BBCSounds it can become quite heavy if not pruned regularly and needs a strong support.

@BethRigby Are there really no notes or are they just saying that because they don't want them made public?

What I am finding genuinely surprising and perplexing from these hearings is there appear to be no notes of meetings regarding the decision to make a political appointment, to make Mandelson the ambassador, or records of meetings between Robbins and officials on the developed vetting. You can see why Thornberry incredulous about that given the importance of the process and the red flags raised!

@SkyNews What about the allegation that you should've asked if Mandelson had passed, Keir, given what was publicly known about him?

Sir Keir Starmer has failed to deny there is a split in the cabinet over his handling of the allegations around Peter Mandelson's vetting. Politics latest: trib.al/aQt6d3p 📺 Sky 501 and YouTube
