Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere.

I can't believe the party that enacted the first new anti-trans legislation since Thatcher and is still selling arms to the IDF is now stamping their feet and refusing to work with Greens, a party that, just to remind you, HASN'T said "please work with us, Labour".

Archer’s resignation from the London mayoral race after it was revealed he lied in court was the thing that got Paul Foot up from his sickbed and contributing again, having first started chronicling Archer’s lies and misdemeanours in 1969. From the Private Eye archive. Issue 992, December 1999.

Apologies to any Jilly Cooper fans out there. Not in the same league of awfulness, just not to my taste. But I maintain no-one over the age of 5 should be happy being known as 'Jilly' (ex-friends have tried it 😆)

I think the caption to my photo from 2012 (while tidying my parents' book collection) sums up my views. It's entirely legitimate to speak ill of his literary output.

Photo of an array of Jeffrey Archer hardback books. Caption reads:

My mum had a 'too close to pay day' meal called Cheese Bean Bake, which we'd have on a Monday. Mashed potato, tin of beans, leftover meat from Sunday roast, chopped onion, dash of Lea & Perrins, all stirred in together, topped with cheese and baked for 30 mins. To this day, still my comfort meal.

Yes, dodgy immigration practitioners exist and some people do lie on asylum claims. Based on BBC reporting though, people"d think it was far more widespread than it is, and completely fail to grasp how hard it can be to get asylum based on being LGBTQIA+ alone. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For example, here is Tony Blair lecturing the self-indulgent western left for failing to help millions of Palestinians, from his position on Donald Trump’s panel established specifically to facilitate and finessetheir destruction as a people.

When misguided or malevolently guided activists in Western countries campaign for Zionism to be delegitimized, they do more than cause affront to Israel and to the Jewish community across the world. They harm the Palestinian cause-the very cause they say they support.
Palestinians know Israel will continue to exist. They know that if there were a one-state solution how unlikely it would be that such a state would be Palestinian. What's more, resolutions like the one just passed by the Greens simply provide fodder for those on the far right in Israel, who also believe that Palestinians and Israelis can never live in peace.

I've read multiple comments on it which are often quite hard to decipher (up to and including not even being sure which side of the argument they're on!). Most, on both sides, have some validity. But - neither intricate word salads nor simplistic slogans seem to be useful in this instance

Yes, of course a Reform or Conservative government would be worse for rights overall, but for marginalised groups currently facing the largest curtailment of human rights under Labour, you really are arguing that we are necessary casualties to ensure other people are okay.
