Enormous excitement. My new novella, Rye, will be broadcast on @BBCRadio4 next week. Working with @SweetTalkProds is genuinely one of the greatest thrills of my writing life. Grab your cutlass and tricorne and listen! https://t.co/LuhhaJM7FR
Rye is live! Beautifully read by @_karldavies and produced by @SweetTalkProds. Wonderful to be back in this world of smugglers and moonlit midnights. https://t.co/n7pP1Kzth4
Spies, smuggling, Napoleon, a daring escape from a prison hulk! The whole of Rye is now available on @BBCRadio4. Do listen - a wonderful production by @SweetTalkProds. https://t.co/LuhhaJM7FR
Talking about the loathsome piece of shit and Elon Musk, this is one of the most powerful, on point speeches I've ever hear from AOC — who just keeps getting better and better at this. 🎯🎯🎯👇
To celebrate this week of Table Manners on BBC Radio 4 Extra and @BBCSounds Sounds, my lovely publisher, @DahliaBooks , is doing a special offer on the book. Get it for £5 + p&p. It’ll make a lovely present for anyone who enjoys short stories 😊😊

The last story from #TableManners is on @bbcsounds today. Mango Season. A story of making mango pickles, grandmothers, secrets and more.
Hope you enjoyed listening to the stories and thank you for listening. 📷 Fruit stall at Dadar TT, Mumbai

No, not 💯 Elon. In the U.K. they’re not going round ‘finding people who’ve said something they disagree with and putting them in a f—king cage.’ Some people are being charged for inciting racial hatred and for organising acts of violence. It’s very specific, and it’s the law in most democracies including the US. For example, one person has pleaded guilty today to inciting an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers: an attack which then took place. Another hotel was set on fire, with people still inside. Freedom carries responsibility: and freedom of speech carries with it the responsibility of each of us to use our words wisely and to be aware of the damage misinformation can cause. To be clear, criminal violence directed towards various communities in the U.K. was perpetrated as a result of malicious and specifically targeted misinformation online. And it’s a relief no-one was killed. Words matter. And yet here you are, running a huge information network, and all you can do is post 💯 over something you choose not to verify for accuracy, not alert people to it’s highly damaging nature. In fact, because of who you are, your 💯 gives it a stamp of approval in the eyes of those who seek validation for their actions. What we say and do has real consequences. That’s because we’re not in a matrix, we’re in real life, and sticking 💯 on a lie doesn’t turn it into truth.
