Writer of historical and crime fiction. Have been known to be a Sunday Times number one bestselling author. I was a lecturer previously and sad to leave formal education. Try to make up for that by making interesting comments on social media.

Wow, someone really did not think this through.

"I can 'exonerate' you for a price"β€”made as a public offerβ€”is essentially an acknowledgment that the person being offered the bribe is in fact...

...a criminal who did exactly what they have been accused of.

E-petition debate relating to Russian influence on UK politics & democracy - Monday 9 February 2026. YouTube video by UK Parliament

This is worth watching in toto. And though I am loath to single out any politician given the existential threats of Russian interference in Ukraine our democracies, @danjarvismp.bsky.social’s grasp and reach and generosity on this issue is stunning.

Against a corrupt, exhausted, unlucky Government, which under-estimated the threat from Reform, trying for its fifth General Election in a row, Morgan McSweeney delivered 33.7% of the vote. And he then made Starmer the most unpopular PM ever. That's the measure of the man's 'genius'.

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit

Both, as I wrote at time, were β€˜abject failures of journalism’

Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich.

Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else.

Trickle-up economics.

Religious freedom group says US military members were 'pressured' by commanders to see 'Melania' An active-duty enlisted member of the US military said their unit was "pressured" into seeing Amazon's "Melania" documentary about the first lady.

Could you even imagine if President Obama made the troops sit through a a doc about Michelle??

New on FT website:

Downing Street has refused to say whether Sir Keir Starmer knew Palantir was a client of Peter Mandelson’s lobbying firm when they both visited the company in Washington last February β€” ahead of it winning a Β£240mn UK government contract.

Why Is the Media Not Touching Jeffrey Epstein’s Clear Connection to Israel? They’re instead focusing on the possibility that Epstein was a Russian asset.

The Israel connection is so clear.

Palestine Action activists cleared of aggravated burglary at Israeli defence firm site None of the six activists were convicted of any offence over break-in at Elbit Systems factory near Bristol in 2024
