Books, nice dinners &rage about the state of things. George as in The Famous Five. A Picador (& thus Pan Macmillan) person but all views remain entirely my own.

I often miss my life-enhancing, insanely generous & frequently infuriating mother. Never more so than now. Were she reading this, I have no doubt her response would be, ‘Don’t be fucking silly, darling. Now pull yourself together.’ Here she is, in typical pose.

@DalrympleWill I am almost never in this place but immensely pleased to have peeked tonight to see this. It's a bloody marvellous book and one I am so proud to have edited.

This is utter balls. The South Bank was not no go in the 1980s. And though there were then - and before then and since then - parts of London that were dodgy and best avoided late at night, this is true of every major city.

George is so right. Also, 30 years there were areas in London, such as Southbank and many others, that were no-go. Nowadays, the misinformation about London is beyond belief. London is v expensive, yes, but the best and greatest big city in the world, by far. And I travel…a lot!

@AmandaPCraig For some reason I was reminded of Jane Grigson in her “Charcuterie” book: “As a hard up student in Florence, I alternated my daily diet of eggs …with trippa alla fiorentina- a delicious confection of tripe, tomatoes and Parmesan cheese”. Not sure how poor Mrs Grigson was…

@suladoyle So very sorry, Urs. I knew she was very ill but hoped it would be a happier outcome.

@WomenReadWomen And what about women who transition to become men? Are they paedophiliac fetishists too?

'That Dark Spring' by @susannah_writes, is beautifully structured and perfectly paced and I couldn't stop reading it. It's going to take its place as a true crime classic.

Memo to Labour's top table: you won because voters were sick of the Tories, not because they thought you would deliver Tory policies more efficiently. They wanted a fairer country. You have broken their hopes. Unforgiveable..

30 years ago today. This No. 1 bestselling debut novel which went on to win multiple literary awards, be adapted for stage & radio (twice) and multiple 'book of the year' plaudits. Congratulations Kate Atkinson. Here's my 30 year old proof (we printed less than 200) ❤️📚

JD Vance, himself a former Marine, has explicitly said he wasn’t referring to UK or French troops and praised their service. With so much real stuff going on, why waste time / energy on fake outrage?

@LucyGoBag Just watched. Aghast. Aghast. The pointing fingers. The shouting in his face. The 'have you said thank you, once?' Dear god.
