Congrats to the mayors who are doing good things Up North, including Tracy For Mayor 🌹, Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram.

I'm currently signing 4500 books in my living room.

Psychedelic 60s music and 2010s Soundcloud rap is getting me through.

I’m continuing on my Benjamin Myers journey with #TheGallowsPole after loving #Cuddy and #ThePerfectGoldenCircle so much

Rinsing the heck out of my free Daily Telegraph subscription.

A little tip: if a man is performatively smoking a cigar in/on a podcast, there's a 93% chance he's a twat.

It's giving strong Citizen Smith cosplay/knock-off Camden market Che Guevara T-shirt vibes.

But after 14 years of Tory shithousery, needs must.

More praise for THE BULLET from Cynan Jones and Benjamin Myers

George Galloway is bringing shame and embarrassment to the hat-wearing community.

Not in our name, George.

Not in our name.

Billy Childish + Ted Kessler + jet black Yorkshire Tea = a fine start to the day.

Strong showing from one of the best (and best run) prizes around.

Winning this in 2018 was a life-changer.

Please stop saying 'gotten'. I beg you. You're not a Texan rodeo rider or a short order cook at Greasy Pete's Waffle House just off Route 66.

You live in Chalfont St Giles and play badminton.

'Cuddy' - Benjamin Myers Benjamin Myers #RSLOndaatjePrize 🏆 Bloomsbury Books UK

‘A kaleidoscopic novel of the North-East of England, through five eras from Anglo-Saxon times to the present, brilliantly splintered and coloured and spun by Benjamin Myers. A saint’s-eye song of praise…

Liz Truss claims her book is 100,000 words long and took 90 hours to write.

Therefore she wrote 1000 publishable words every hour for the duration.

Therefore we can conclude: everything that comes out her mouth is a dog egg.

What an amazing story.

Solving rough sleeping really should be achievable in 2024.

Not long until our shortlist is revealed -- which books from these 12 do you think will be in the final running for the £25,000 #WalterScottPrize for Historical Fiction 2024?

I'm breaking from (former) music journalist ranks to express the controversial opinion that every single Britpop band had at least one great song.

(And that in 1995 it was possible to like Supergrass, Shy FX, Slint & System 7 at the same time. Don't believe the revisionists).
