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.

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Is Rejoining the European Union an option?" Lisa Nandy, "Yes of course." "And I think Andy Burnham is right to say that we've got to be honest, Brexit has not worked for us" "A lot of the public I think have come to that view as well"

We hear about and see this inequality constantly, yet a minority of MAGA extremists are allowed to elect and put Billionaires in charge of our government, giving them the freedom to enrich themselves, while everyone else struggles, this is the new definition of insanity! C’mon midterms!🗳️💙🗳️

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Bad last dive. Ridiculously high seas and mad current. By time we quickly resurfaced we were already swept over a mile away. But for the eagle eyes of someone on dive boat we would have gone onto the reef or swept out into ocean. Not pleased by decision to go ahead with dive in such conditions...

Landed on Coco Island. Population: a few hundred birds. Distressing to see so much rubbish washed up. The team spent a couple of hours picking it up, but what can 12 people do against a tsunami of human waste?

Absolutely horrifying. How can our government be planning to drill for new oil and gas when we know these are the consequences? We have to keep the pressure on this Labour Government to keep all fossil fuels in the ground and secure a safe future for our children and grandchildren.

Happy birthday to my old friend, Bernie Sanders. It's an honor to have been in the fight with him for all of these years. Bernie has more guts than any politician I know. Hell, he has more guts than just about anyone I know.
