Whatever catastrophic, dark and frankly evil stuff goes down in the US over the coming months and years, it is vital for the sake of our own country that everyone in Westminster and Fleet St who supported or acted as an apologist for Trump is personally tied to the consequences of his presidency

These are the books, old and new, I most enjoyed reading in 2024, or those I judged to be the best, or both. Might do a thread. NB. I go into a few in more depth on the next episode of Backlisted, our ’Winter Reading’ special. @backlisted.bsky.social
