Modellers - the call you have been waiting all your lives for...!
Does anyone have any models of #WW2 aircraft they could drop by a school in Newbury tomorrow?
A group of students wants to film a scene - presumably with them going "Pew! Pew! Nerrrrr!"

All being well, my next book comes out on 30 Nov 25. It looks at the alleged disappearance of the 5th Battalion Norfolk Regiment & looks at all the duff history that surrounds the story of their advance on Kuchuk Anafarta Ova on 12 Aug 15 during the Gallipoli Campaign #WW1 #FWW #Norfolk #Gallipoli

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview
The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show
The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.
This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

From the TfL workers being punched and racially abused to women who were chased down the street - Iโm deeply concerned about the alarming rise of racist attacks in our capital city.
We are also seeing appalling incidents elsewhere in the country - some of which have included abhorrent violence towards children.
These incidents illustrate the dangers of allowing racism to be normalised and mainstreamed. Real lives and personal safety are under threat.
I will continue to speak out against racial inequalities and injustices, as well as providing support to organisations working to support our communities and bring people together.
London is a successful, liberal and multicultural city. The greatest in the world. It will always be for everyone and I promise you: that will never change.
MAYOR OF LONDON, SADIQ KHAN
Iโm deeply concerned about recent racist attacks in our capital city.

On X I used data to show London does not have the highest crime rate in the world.
10 mins later a right winger linked to my book.
10 mins after that I got 40 1-star reviews from unverified accounts (previously 4.9 star avg). Fair play to Amazon - they removed them all.
But that's how it works.

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.
