My analysis: Kim Leadbeater was the front woman - but her side won because the weight of public opinion was too strong for MPs to ignore. Undecided MPs asked their constituents for their advice - and they convinced their MPs to vote for change. theguardian.com/society/2024/n…

Great work by the team at @Legend_Press for the cover of my novel 'The Unravelling of Mary Reddish', which is out next year. Might be of particular interest to Nottingham folk as it's set around the old asylum in Sneinton. Some more details on Instagram: instagram.com/p/DDg6xTpA2e7/

I’m calling it - this ‘fully recyclable gift wrap paper’ is the 21st century’s worst invention. It’s my son’s birthday in a week, if I start to tackle it today it I might just be ready in time.

A bit late to this one, but have just finished #LessonsinChemistry and found it as engaging and enjoyable as everyone says. But spare me the inner thoughts of the dog! Now I need to watch the Apple TV series to see how they tackle that...

Do you like historical fiction based on true stories? Do you like strong female leads? Do you enjoy books that challenges and pushes for justice? Then you will love, The Unravelling of Mary Reddish by David Whitfield legendpress.co.uk/the-unravellin… #books #HistoricalFiction

The BBC often gets its priorities wrong when promoting its own content (“so-and-so to be quizzed by Laura Kuenssberg” at the top of the website etc), but to lead News at Ten with its own Prince Harry interview ahead of the election results really was editorially unforgivable.

I've given it a go, but I think I might have to call it a day on cosy crime. I get that there's a big market for it, but all the books I've tried - The Mystery Guest being the latest - don't do it for me. Crimes should have real consequences, shouldn't they, even in fiction?

Yep, MailOnline, two blokes scrapping at Ascot definitely more important than the result of the assisted dying bill vote.
