@JacquiWine Great review of a great book

@jeannemarieM3 @JacquiWine I thought it was fantastic

@rppeace @JacquiWine You might find Irene Solà's When I Sing, Mountains Dance (Granta 2022) interesting.

@Shakespeare_Co @FaberBooks Great interview. She is endlessly fascinating and refreshingly honest

@RishiSunak Does that include your Coke? Monumental idiot

We shouldn’t be reliant on foreign food. Buy British.

@johnmitchinson @BacklistedPod John this was such a brilliant episode. I found it moving on all sorts of levels Thank you all

Prep for the new @BacklistedPod on Anne Sexton was intense. I knew a few anthologised poems and that she'd committed suicide at 45 but reading the full sweep of her work was revelatory. Life throbs through her poetry in all its awkward, squalid glory. backlisted.fm/episodes/208-a…

@PippaCrerar Why is the extended O&G windfall tax a reduction? That is an increase surely?

Other tax changes: ⬆️ - new vaping tax - air passenger duty on business class flights - scrapping tax breaks on holiday lets - abolish multiple dwellings relief ⬇️ - reduce higher rate of property CGT from 28% to 24% - extend oil & gas windfall tax for another year - child benefit tapers

👷🏻‍♀️Jeremy Hunt confirms government will cut another 2p from national insurance, for 27m workers, worth £450 to the average worker.

@thirteenvinyl @memorialdevice They were ace last night. Great Terry Hall tribute from Madness as well

@memorialdevice Saw the Lightning Seeds perform it last night-marvellous.

This is one of the greatest pop songs of all time. It's songwriting perfection 🙏 youtu.be/9pfHxJcztqM?fe…

@BacklistedPod @chrisfloyduk You have brought me comfort and pleasure in equal measure. Can’t thank you all enough. The introduction to A Goat Song has left me forever in your debt.

Finally we would like to thank all our guests over the last eight years and 200 episodes; all the writers, living and dead, whose work we’ve so enjoyed; and our listeners for their loyalty and enthusiasm. Love, N, A & J x (Photo: Chris Floyd @chrisfloyduk)

Episode #200 up now. Trustee from the Toolroom (1960) by Nevil Shute, with guest Richard Osman @richardosman in conversation with @johnmitchinson and @i_am_mill_i_am. backlisted.fm/episodes/200-t…

@JacquiWine @i_am_mill_i_am talks about this on a recent Backlisted episode. It sounds ace

@isitrollingpod Keep safe and thanks for everything so far. Your podcast has been a joy for so long.

@johnmitchinson @BylineTimes That is beautiful John

For this month’s @BylineTimes column I wrote about my dad.

Toy Fights is the best memoir I have read for years. Hilarious and at times excruciatingly honest.

@pritipatel You monumental idiot.

Boris Johnson has served our country and his constituency with distinction. He led world in supporting Ukraine, got Brexit done, and was our most electorally successful Prime Minister since Margaret Thatcher. Boris is a political titan whose legacy will stand the test of time.

@DominicRaab A "threshold for bullying" just sums you up.

My resignation statement.👇

@IrishLitTimes “No one minds life as long as they are not trying to leave it. Nor death, as long as they are not dying.” Sebastian Barry from Old God’s Time.

Please quote me a favourite line from the book (by an Irish author) you are reading this weekend! #weekendreadingquotes

@cox_tom I still fear the possible damage done to a book dropping from the top tier

@ptpryan @BacklistedPod It’s a masterpiece

@RichardLafette Yes he is. Am still not over the Carabo Cup Final though. I thought the wait was finally going to be over.

@rppeace Last weekend was entertaining, especially the Fulham meltdown. Mark Chapman is very good on the radio.

Just googled 'housery'. I kept hearing it on the radio and had no idea of meaning or etymology. I assume it's quite new. @rppeace

@RichardLafette It’s a funny old game.

@rppeace Yep. But I'd never heard of it before this week. Sh*thousery didn't occur to me. Maybe I've had a sheltered life.
