Having now taken a few days to digest the detail of the UK-EU agreement, here's a couple of observations from me on the deal, what it means, how we got here, & where it might take future UK-EU relations.

Slightly ironic timing but delighted this happened at the end of last week: my book in Waterstones, Sauchiehall Street, with fabulous review from teen reader, Rachel. Roll on 12th December! #Orangesandlemons #ghoststoryforteens

And the winners are: Duchess a female sun conure (parrot), who'll feature in Jessifer's next full-length story, and Lizzo, chameleon, who is in a 2- part short story I'll be posting on my website today. Well done Yr 6 @YearsleyGrovePr and big thanks to @MissAWhiles 😊🍊🍋 👻

Thank you @JanPatience and @jillbrownmedia for interviewing me in lockdown about my debut novel #OrangesandLemons It was fun being interviewed on Zoom. That lockdown hair though!

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

3 days in a row with no registered COVID deaths in Scotland. The sense of relief that I - & I’m sure all of us - feel as these numbers fall is enormous. But it’s coupled with an anxiety that we do all we can to keep COVID under control. So please follow the rules and #StaySafe

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

I worry that this seismic change to our constitution is not being given the attention it urgently warrants. So I'll say again:

The government wants to abolish jury trials in order to address a court backlog caused by its own cuts, under the pretence that it was caused by Covid.

Happy weekend all!
My latest blog, Getting Unstuck, is live on my author website. For those times when the writing just isn't working! Would love to hear your thoughts.

Free School Meals during summer hols in Scotland because of Scottish Government.

Free School Meals during summer hols in England because of English footballer.

[Hilary Benn @hilarybennmp]

This is the wrong decision. DFID is admired and respected around the world and is an expression of the UK’s global commitment to fight poverty, and yet once again a Conservative Government is abolishing an independent development department and putting it back inside the FCO.
