The 31-month sentence for Lucy Connolly for a tweet has been the subject of fierce media coverage.
Here I set out a balanced explanation of this sentence and how, had she not followed good legal advice, the sentence could have been even heavier.

Perfect game! @herring1967.bsky.social
Boatman - the first 50 is a great holiday read, exemplified by this image of the book opened to show the story behind the Shipping Forecast puzzle, on display on Brighton beach.
Reviewing Boatman - the first 50, Alan Connor (the Guardian's new crossword editor) says: "This is one to savour. Boatman's puzzles are witty and ingenious. It is an extraordinary pleasure to read how his unique mind works. The first 50 is a book I never knew I needed in my life. Gift it to yourself and to the word-lovers in yours" and Hugh Stephenson (his predecessor) says: "This is a unique book of crosswords".
Boatman - the second 50 contains another 50 puzzles from The Guardian, with five bonus puzzles previously only available online and including puzzles, solutions and the ideas and stories behind them, exemplified by this image of the book opened to show one of the stories, which is accompanied by a picture of a large cow.
Reviewing Boatman - the second 50, Gyles Brandreth says: "If you want a fiendish crossword, you want the best - which means you want Boatman, because he is the best" and Brian Bilston says: "Cracking crosswords - each puzzle a delightful daily workout for the brain and a welcome tonic for the soul".
It's the Seasonal Reposting Competition! Repost this over the weekend, and one lucky person will get a free signed copy of one of my books. For you or the #crossword addict in your life: 50 @guardian #puzzles and the stories behind them:
