'Nothing has changed since Sarah Everard’s murder - this is our national shame'

Society has normalised sexual harassment. We walk on high alert, keys in hand. The Angiolini Inquiry confirms what women know: safety is a luxury we are denied, argues columnist Aimee Walsh

If respect is the goal, why are we debating where trans people can exist? As Labour's Bridget Phillipson weighs new ‘single-sex space’ guidance, the debate reduces trans lives to a policy dilemma. In my column, I argue this is an evasion of moral responsibility. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Turns out the Brits were at the same carry on in Kenya as they were in the north of Ireland. It’s great on collective & individual sacrifices & traumas incurred for freedom — & what that freedom from violence looks like once the war is over. (Spoiler alert: it’s mental health crisis xxx)

It’s official! THESE DAYS will be out in the US on 8 April with Sarah Jessica Parker’s imprint at Zando, SJPLit. I love the ethos of the imprint and I LOVE the US cover - a detail from a painting by Scottish artist Alberto Morocco.

sarahjessicaparker So very pleased to bring THESE DAYS to readers. Our next SJP Lit release is Lucy Caldwell's already award-winning novel, taking place over four nights during the Belfast Blitz in 1941.
Lucy Caldwell's characters leap from the page in all their joy and devastation. It has already garnered heaps of praise from some of our most cherished writers.
"Adroit, precise storytelling, atmospheric and satisfying; These Days is a novel of real substance." — Hilary Mantel, Booker Prize-winning author of Wolf Hall You can pre-order now at the link in my story to be the first to receive a copy.
Happy, happy reading,
X, SJ
