Nice piece by Tom Rowley. Doesn’t seem like five years have passed since he sat in our kitchen talking about where to put a bookshop in south London.

Thrilled that my US news is out there. I’m delighted that WE ARE THE DEAD is going to be published by the brilliant Pamela Dorman @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social and in Canada by the brilliant Bhavna Chauhan @doubledaybooks.bsky.social So exciting 🥳

It will never not be wild to me that the Russians attacked Keir Starmer's home, successfully spread falsehoods about Starmer's love life, and this didn't changed British politics and British political elite behaviour *at all*.

I've said versions of this before but social media is meant to be fun, WAS fun for some years, and we hit problems when people started to believe it was a viable way of conducting debate.

David's tragedy here is a lesson for us all. If you're planning on going to a thing where you know there'll be no trouble getting in, BUY A TICKET. The number of stories I've heard of events cancelled due to lack of interest, and then a load of people pop up to say "Oh I meant to book that!"

"What good reasons might someone have to think the opposite to me on this issue" is a really good question that's quite hard to ask yourself, especially on something you really care about. But saying your opinions are "just common sense" is a real giveaway you've never done it.

On the very day Sam published this, one of the most empathetic people of the last century died. And the response among every side of the political spectrum to her death suggests to me that empathy still has some miles left in it.

I genuinely cannot understand how the Labour government has now had two, genuinely cultured prime ministers who both looked at Lisa Nandy’s record there and went “I’m pleased with this. I want this to continue.”

I can't work out if this is intended as a punishment to Lisa Nandy, who clearly hates the job; or a punishment to the entire UK culture sector, which is suffering as a result of that. Maybe both?
