Crace nails the nobody man as a nobody with nothing to say
“His main theme was that the country was fucked. Largely because of Brexit. Weirdly, he has no memory of being the main architect behind the Brexit vote. He seems to think it happened in a world in which he played no part.”

This is my second event of the week. I'll be at the Byres Rd Book Festival with my friend and collaborator, Aisling Walsh. This one is sold out too but there's a waiting list you can join. Eventbrite events often sell out then folk don't always turn up on the night, so it's definitely worth doing
Aisling Walsh and I will be at the Byres Road Book Festival on Sept 28th. Tickets are selling fast now, it's free but you have to sign up on Eventbrite to book a space.
The director, Aisling Walsh and I will be in conversation at the Byres Road Book Festival on Sept 28th. We'll be talking all things Austen and discussing our creative collaborations and process. It's free but you have to book. Hope to see you there.

It's an anomaly, rather than protocol, to have a second state visit for a US President. When that President is currently demolishing human rights, violating international law, invading his own cities and linked to a prolific sex offender it makes it even more disgusting the state visit is still on.

We're being governed by a Confederacy Of Dunces. If any of my left leaning pals want to defend Starmer and the Labour Party, I'll happily listen, but it's going to take a fuck of a lot to persuade me he's acting with any moral clarity. Netanyahu is out of control. What is Starmer thinking?
