Why are women so angry about football? Some men have been musing on this ‘dressing room stuff’ @campbellclaret and are baffled. Here’s our handy primer for those at the back of the room who haven’t been paying attention @GaryLineker
We’ll start with the 17-year-old girl hauled in front of the @FA Serious Case Panel for asking the very reasonable question ‘are you a man’ when a bearded bloke walked on to the pitch to play in a female match.
Beardy man reported the matter to a charity @kickitout who then went squealing to the FA who, in turn, launched a full-on disciplinary and imposed a six-match ban on the weeping teenager. Safeguarding Fail 🚩

Watch this (whole thread), then explain why you’re OK with a man beating a woman in public for your entertainment. This isn’t sport. From the bullying cheat in red all the way up to the organisers who allowed this to happen, this is men revelling in their power over women.

I was privileged to read this in proof, and to blurb it. It's brilliant. Simon Edge is an extraordinary editor - he also edits my husband, @AndrewStickland, & as a former editor at The Economist, I know how important the editor's job is from both sides!
Indie bookshops are one of the absolute treasures of this country. Met the book group at Dial Lane Books in Ipswich last night, a brilliant bunch of readers who said they’d discovered books they might otherwise never have read, through the shop’s passionate, knowledgeable staff
We had the pleasure of hosting the Shortlist Showcase event in May - but that's not the end!
