My piece in the @Telegraph today about my latest book A Hateful Decision. @almurray @James1940 @humfreyhunter @penguinrandom

Churchill’s slaughter of 1,300 French sailors was ‘hateful’ – but justified https://t.co/Bp4v1OhRI7

This fantastic book by Ed Abel Smith is out today, about the attack on the French fleet at Mers El Kebir on 3rd July 1940. Congratulations to Ed who has made this grim & bitter business into a thrilling read.

Can’t say enough how good this is - properly page-turning and compelling. Just loved it. @wehavewayspod @ww2headquarters @edwardabelsmith

Best of luck to #DavidCollins (with Andrew & Lisa Roussos) with @silvertailbooks at the @TrueCrimeAward tomorrow, where he is shortlisted in not one, but two categories for Saffie: The youngest victim of the Manchester terror attack and her family's fight for justice

Employer NI went from 13.8% to 15% in April 2025. The threshold dropped from £9,100 to £5,000.

That's an extra £937.80 per employee per year.

Since then, payrolled employees have dropped by 184,000 and unemployment just hit its highest level since 2015.

Nobody's connecting the dots.

Extraordinary story here…

[Tony Ortega @TonyOrtega94]

People who knew Romey Beliles describe him as one of the friendliest and most resourceful people they knew. But he had a secret: His decades of frustration with the Church of #Scientology which he documented in minute detail. This is his remarkable story. https://t.co/A9lPvq4t2z

I know a few journos follow me. Anyone fancy having a look at this? It seems genuinely apocalyptic.

I just won True Crime Audiobook of the Year for Murder In The Gulag.

Thanks to all the gang at @headlinepg

I’m just the gob on the stick.

Little Saffie, 8, suffered for an hour after the Manchester Arena bombing before she died. She asked for her mum in her final minutes. Now her dad reveals why he can no longer look at her face in their treasured photos https://t.co/kQFgNbwWVZ

[The Times and Sunday Times @thetimes]

The family of Saffie-Rose Roussos tell David Collins, the author of a new book on the Manchester attack, about that fateful night and their fight for justice https://t.co/aWSboAnPUk

[Michael Hallihane @michael_hal]

Very moving read on Saffie-Rose, the youngest victim of the Manchester Arena bombing. Look back in anger. From Sunday Times magazine.

[Rosamund Urwin @RosamundUrwin]

This is desperately sad, but such a beautifully written piece about Saffie-Rose Roussos, the youngest victim of the Manchester attacks.

The Trials of Lucy Letby: Was There Ever A Crime? bonus episode: our interview with Dr Dewi Evans, in full.

After today’s astonishing presser with Dr Shoo Lee whose international panel found no evidence of murder at all - just very, very sick babies and bad medical care - here is the interview with the Crown’s star expert witness Dr Dewi Evans we made last year in full.

Contrast the two doctors.

Many teachers and school leaders share my concerns with regard to her decisions but are scared to say.

If you can find it in you, please RT.

With the disturbing allegations against Neil Gaiman blowing up after a New York mag story this week, we noticed people are interested in our previous reporting about Neil and his #Scientology upbringing. We decided to bring together that information and to add some updates.
