What are you doing from 20-25 October? Nothing? Not any more! You're now going to make a great escape with me to Poland & Germany! Warning: trip includes dumplings, old stations, tanks, swimming...(and maybe some Stalag Luft III & Colditz if you're lucky) telegraph.tripsmiths.com/tours/guy-wa...

Thanks to the peerless scholarship of Dr Jürgen Matthäus, we now know the identity of the murderer in this most notoriously iconic picture of the Holocaust. His name was Jakobus Onnen. He was a teacher. My piece in the Independent:

If you're an author, DO follow George. He's doing a lot of good work for the likes of us. It may seem Byzantine, but it's important.

Very good webinar today organised by @publishersassoc.bsky.social and @independentpublishersguild.com on the proposed Bartz v. Anthropic settlement, with an informative presentation and Q&A with publisher class counsel Oppenheim & Zebrak. Key questions from publishers on eligibility criteria…

Yeah, Keir Starmer is an exasperated manager, Nigel Farage a golf club bore, Ed Davey an incompetent cuddly uncle but Kemi is every work colleague you’ve ever had who thought themselves to be superior to everyone around them, on steroids.

Badenoch is the most compelling of the current party leaders because of the gulf between who she believes herself to be (she visibly thinks she is a bold thinker) and the reality (incredibly lazy and partisan).

I rode a couple of hundred miles through blisteringly hot France in black biker leathers. No challenge I faced on the road was more difficult than getting those bloody trousers off.😡
