In the @newstatesman.com: History will be written by the scrollers. It will anoint no anachronisms. Great move of Yvette Cooper to have a go at TikTok. Makes a fellow think - perhaps time to get sigma at vertical video and devious griddies!

The Online Safety Act humiliates us all. Labour should not expose its public to extortion and shame. It is way off-mission. PS don't call people Jimmy Savile! In @newstatesman.com:

“You’re headed for a catastrophe,” she said. I told her I felt it was the kind of catastrophe I didn’t want to avoid. She went back to Montpellier and I went back to Pablo. Really pleased that yday's post about Francois Gilot and Picasso has become my most liked ever! dunno why!

Whoever smelt it dealt it! That new odor is a £295 Pride and Prejudice perfume, on sale only at Harrods. Freya Graham was at the launch breakfast for a lively write-up that I am pleased to have seen through. Smells like Jane Austen:

Really pleased to have blown past 250 subscribers on Peaceable Land🤠 An editor explained a rejection: ‘I like it but how many of us can there be? 500 in the whole world?’ Halfway there!

Orwell is not Saint George! A cold early rise and a fairly abject ‘sorry but could you take a photo of me with this statue’ on Sunday morning for the sake of this post, but pleased it's out and was today listed on RealClearBooks.
