The predicted swing here is 19pts, against a swing in the North in general opinion polls over the same period of 12pts, and this is without Reform, who push that swing up. Crucially, Labour's vote is +17, against +7 in North in general polls. Hardly reassuring.

So sad to hear this news. Chris was a huge influence on my writing and was very generous to me when I was first published. I will miss the excitement of a new Shardlake book - but what a legacy he leaves. His novels will be read for years to come 💔

If anyone has lost some false teeth ive just seen a seagull with them, it flew off in the direction of Covent Garden about 10 minutes ago!
Hope this is helpful!

ESSENTIAL PHRASES for the traveller in France, c1750s. I ♥️ that the explanations for idioms are not given, so intend to take them literally & presume all English tourists were roaming around bellowing about tingly ears & spicy ragout

We were sad to hear the news that C. J. Sansom, author of the Shardlake series and passionate supporter of the Mary Rose, died on Saturday.

Our former Chief Executive, and his friend, Read Admiral John Lippiett, shares his thoughts.

Writer friends… I’m writing a piece for The Times about CJ Sansom -about his influence on other writers and place in the historical crime world. Please DM me with any thoughts.. I know he was a huge inspiration for many….

On Saturday evening I got a message from my friend Roz that Chris had died. Awful, sad, a massive loss, but to be honest it wasn’t unexpected. He had been ill for a very long time – and after many health setbacks I think he really wanted to go. 🧵1/15

She is very good at this! 😂

Is he drinking any Ba’ath water tho

Not sure how long this will last - might just be one left to buy the amazing Square of Sevens by Laura Shepherd-Robinson who quite rightly is no 1 in the kindle charts so get it now, whilst you can.

This is an incredible book and it is at a brilliant price!

This looks like a really cool book

THE SQUARE OF SEVENS is in the Kindle Daily Deal at only 99p today!!! A steal worthy of Red herself! ♥️♣️♦️♠️ amazon.co.uk/Square-Sevens-…

If you haven’t read this brilliant book yet then look. 99p only today via Kindle! Such a bargain for a novel that will have you cancelling all other plans until it’s finished.

I’m half way through reading this book and honestly it’s fantastic! Plenty of secrets and twists to keep you entertained! Whilst it’s 99p on Kindle, I recommend treating yourself!

Great read

I have the most beautiful signed version of this book with spredges, but that means I don’t want to take it out of the house to read and I’m a commute reader. So I guess I own 2 copies now! 🥳
