Looking forward to geeking out about weird writing research with this lovely bunch tonight. Also hotly anticipating my first mulled wine of the season. @BlackwellEdin

@PhilipArdagh Mine is The Silver Chair, read to my class when we were around seven by the lovely Miss Currie. We were so engrossed by half way that we begged her to tell us the ending and she eventually agreed to reveal the last word.
It didn’t help as much as we hoped!

@LynseyMay @Waterstones_Edi That’s quite the accolade!

Highly recommended. If I hadn’t already listened to this on audible it would be top of my list!

@ljlittleson Always so impressive when an unknown is plucked from the slush-pile

1979: UK was sitting on a revenue bonanza from North Sea Oil, had a National Debt of just £80bn and owned all it's utilities, transport, infrastructure & millions of social homes.

2024: UK has £2.8Tn national debt & virtually no assets.

Capitalism has destroyed our kids' future

When @BBCRadio4 commissioned me to write a story for festival season, I was well chuffed. I’ve been a cog in many parts of the machine, just like my main character, who rediscovers a little of that Edinburgh August magic. Today at 3.45, then online after. https://t.co/09ixl4ij6D

[Lynsey May @LynseyMay]

Having now had a chance to have an early listen to Victoria Liddelle’s rendition of this short story, I’m even more excited for Friday. She did such a fabulous job.

Thank you @mrssvenotron for commissioning and producing! 3.45 on BBC Radio 4 on Fri and online after broadcast.

THIS CAMPAIGN IS NOT GOING AWAY @ShabanaMahmood. NOW ON 3.5 MILLION VIEWS. These are typical of comments from the public on becoming aware of the #IPPscandal scandal

“Truly shocking”
“Absolutely horrifying”
“Unbelievable”
“Utterly awful”
“Madness”
“inconceivable”
“cruel”

Let’s work together to end one of the most shocking & monumental injustices of the past half century before more lives are tragically lost
