I don’t believe it is Not really. The far right is trying that playbook but it doesn’t land in the same way. Frustratingly, some very bad and shouty people get a lot of air time.

Yes!👇🏻 Just stop this concocted nonsense.

Ridiculous behaviour from the Tories. Dealing with unfriendly journalists is a basic requirement for a political party!

If you get hungry, highly recommend the haggis tower at The Canon’s Gait on Canongate.

A former industrial space on an iconic old pottery. We're very proud of this beautiful found space, and grateful all the amazing people and partners who have been on this journey with us so far. 🤩

When have mobs of masked men ever brought anything but fear and violence. Really never thought I’d see this in Britain and I don’t think many people want it. So crack down for God’s sake, use the power of the state! Imagine they are environmentalists or something

It depends on which demographic you’re talking about and who votes. Lots of pensioners don’t need winter fuel allowance. My late Dad used to donate his to charity, but when the Gov tried to (clumsily) deal with it (and got a bloody nose) I heard one man saying he used it to buy a new golf club.

Good clip circulating. Binface is our most astute and exposing political commentator. NF didn’t have the balls to show up for the result, claiming the police had advised him to stay away on grounds of security - immediately refuted by police. How lying in public office has become normalised!

Reminder to the British media that the MP for Clacton still being the MP for Clacton isn’t news. Move on and focus on… ooh, I don’t know…. Corruption?

Absolutely this - not just for calculus but for everything! Education is about ways of thinking, ways of seeing, ways of communicating ideas. ‘Computers can do this now so we don’t have to’ is the most reductive and dangerous thought we can have.

Ps - I was in a play many years ago in Worcester called The Malvern Widdow. I’m so interested to read your book about Charles Bravo!

Impossible question but an opportunity to gush so… in no particular order… Louise Penny’s Gamache, Josephine Tey’s Alan Grant, CJ Sansom’s Shardlake, Val McDermid’s Karen Pirie, Anthony Horowitz’s Daniel Hawthorne… all brilliant in different ways.

I commend your restraint. I think I’d have been tempted to just buy another copy. Hope you met that deadline.

Deborah McAndrew @deborahmc.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

@bertsbooks.bsky.social and @shonamaclean.bsky.social - you are both vindicated. I just finished rereading The Daughter of Time and guess what is in the LAST chapter... However, there is no 's' on 'anyway' - so you're both right. Thank you for sending me back to this wonderful book. #TeamRichardiii

Absolutely! Priorities. Josephine would agree.

Final thought… a thanks. Now I’m going to have to reread TDOT. Hurray!

I had a terrible moment when I thought I wasn’t going to be able to find my copy. Thoughts and prayers.

Deborah McAndrew @deborahmc.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

The plot thickens…* I looked it up and the internet says the quote is from chapter 3 of The Daughter of Time so I pulled my copy down from the shelf and I can’t find it. Maybe in another chapter? Apparently said by Alan Grant but it doesn’t sound like him either tbh. *Tey geek alert

I think this kind of thought most days - who wakes up every morning and makes a choice to be the bad guy? Myopic and overwhelming self interest? It’s an oversimplification but most terrible things are done by men (mostly men) seeking or holding onto status.

I can’t remember who said this to me, but it is an almost absolute rule - to never laugh at anyone for mispronouncing a word, because it means they learned it by reading* *Exception - my In-Laws, who, despite years of gentle correction pronunciation, always call a certain cheese ‘Emmermental’

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!
