Says it all-of course he supports that right-wing terrorist & of course that’s where he got the flag from! But he’s not a racist?! He is incredibly patriotic?! Why isn’t he doing something practical to help the British people he loves so much? He could do charity work. He could help the environment

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before.

Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

My health forced me to take time away from writing & appearances, while fighting to gain access to treatment. I'm finally coming out the other side. I feel more alive & excited about life than I have in months! CrimeFest here I come! @joffebooks.bsky.social @northbanktalent.bsky.social

So very touched by this lovely post by @mycosybooknook.bsky.social ❤️📕❤️ @joffebooks.bsky.social @stormbookscandy.bsky.social @northbanktalent.bsky.social

Two reasons why you should visit this if you can:
1. It's a brand new crime writing festival, so what's not to love?
2. It's being put together by @christiejnewport.bsky.social, and after what she's had to go through in the last year, nobody deserves your support more than she does xx

DISASTER!*Book related, trigger warning*I just tried 2 swat a fly away with my book and accidentally launched the book across the lounge, my bookmark fell out and now I can’t find my page! Amy rushed in, thinking something terrible had happened-she didn’t get it, when I said, ‘well it has!’ 😭 📕

Christie J. Newport @christiejnewport.bsky.social · Apr 5

Thank you for fighting for us! Why aren’t these rich, arrogant criminals being prosecuted?! We work hard to write our books, most of us earn far below min wage, some nowhere near it! We all have our own ‘voices’ they cannot & should not be replicated @societyofauthors.bsky.social

1st ‘normal’ infusion, after a year of fighting for them & having the 2 loading doses. Life starts again here! We moved into our bungalow on Monday. Amy painting & me writing properly again as soon as we r unpacked @stormbookscandy.bsky.social @joffebooks.bsky.social @northbanktalent.bsky.social

Christie J. Newport @christiejnewport.bsky.social · Apr 2

It’s been a very hectic couple of weeks. Today I woke up in excruciating pain. Today is also infusion day! Fingers crossed for access first time like when I had my blood taken last week 🤞🏽 11:30am at the Royal Salford Hospital 🤞🏽 x

Christie J. Newport @christiejnewport.bsky.social · Mar 27

Back at Salford Royal Hospital to have my blood taken, ready for infusion on Wednesday - fingers crossed for access 🤞🏽❤️🤞🏽❤️ x

I was searching google to find out when I won the @joffebooks.bsky.social Prize, because I have the memory of a goldfish, and apparently google has decided I am a public figure.🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have no idea what algorithms are used to make this assumption, but needless to say I found it amusing 🤣🤣
