Co-presenting breakfast @timesradio. The Burial Place, the 3rd Jake Jackson book, out now:

[Stig Abell @StigAbell]

Looking ahead to 2026 in my Jake Jackson books. We have The Burial Place out in paperback in February; A Twist in the River out in April. Plus, I am finishing the final edit of the fifth in the series (a Victorian cold case, provisionally called The Angel Maker), out in 2027.

[Stig Abell @StigAbell]

@rtstedman Bless your heart. You are doing brilliantly.

[Stig Abell @StigAbell]

@1977_henderson That’s so lovely to hear. I love bingeing series a lot, but somehow never thought of anyone doing it with mine. Next one out in April!

[Stig Abell @StigAbell]

@_57dB Same!

[Stig Abell @StigAbell]

@jones_lufc Bless you! The next one already done.

@martin_crowson This is such a great team this year. I love Blamire, best captain since Johnson, Bailey a future star. Absolutely battered Saints (the red card at the end is a total joke and seems to misunderstand rugby).

[Stig Abell @StigAbell]

Coming up on @TimesRadio Breakfast: more totally rational comments from Trump; how shaken is the US-UK relationship? Plus, the over-medicalisation of distress, BBC crisis management, Londonmaxxing, why climb Everest, royal relations, life in Tel Aviv, unmanly men, potholes etc

[Stig Abell @StigAbell]

@grahamscheper @JamieJackson___ I think that a woman called Miranda technically must be admired

[Times Radio @TimesRadio]

“People who might use those safe and legal routes might be young men from a culture that is not entirely welcome by everyone in the UK.”

“That’s the uncomfortable conversation we have to have.”

@KateEMcCann and @StigAbell discuss Labour's immigration problem.

[Stig Abell @StigAbell]

Coming up on @TimesRadio Breakfast: as the various options for the non-ending of the war persist, we’ll also look at domestic issues - end of the deal with France on migrants, fuel duty cuts, civil service WFH, BBC and Scott Mills. Plus back to the moon, and are we happier now?

[Stig Abell @StigAbell]

Coming up on @TimesRadio Breakfast: the Doom Loop war continues, with more Trump contradictory comments. And Schrödinger’s crisis in the UK: government can’t talk of petrol shortages without causing them. Plus, juries, subscriptions, what to listen to while working, NEETs etc

[Stig Abell @StigAbell]

@martin_crowson @LeicesterTigers Best I’ve felt about Tigers in a while. I might even prefer this to the Borthwick version. That Blamire is a player too!

[Stig Abell @StigAbell]

Kate has written this about being trolled by scum for daring to ask reasonable questions of a tyrannical Iranian regime. The comments beneath it are heartening and true: Kate is a magnificent journalist whom Times Radio is very lucky to have.

Lots of lovely reviews of A Twist in the River coming in, which is both a standalone novel and Book 4 in the Jake Jackson series. Out on April 9. Some are asking if it is the last one. It isn’t! In fact, today I finished the first draft of Book 6 - here is the end of Chapter 1

[Times Radio @TimesRadio]

Defence secretary John Healey denies that the Treasury is delaying the publication of the defence investment plan, telling #TimesRadio the chancellor has given defence an "extra eight billion pounds this year” compared to the previous government.

@JohnHealey_MP | @StigAbell

[Stig Abell @StigAbell]

Coming up on @TimesRadio Breakfast: is no strategy a strategy when it comes to war and peace? We’ll wonder about Trump “unleashing hell”. Plus, is Ed Miliband running the government, should we abandon PMQs, is it the tipping point for social media, doctors’ strikes, letters etc

[Stig Abell @StigAbell]

@Alatarielle2 I hope you like it!

[Stig Abell @StigAbell]

@Marcisissy @TimesRadio True that

[Stig Abell @StigAbell]

Coming up on @TimesRadio Breakfast: we wake up, we worry, we try to work out what is going on with Trump, the Middle East and the future of the war. Plus, Q and A with Liz Kendall, NHS satisfaction, who is making money from moving prices, food security, Samba the capybara etc

"It's our pensions, our fuel prices, our jobs, our economy that's being compromised by a guy who, by most estimations, doesn't know what he's doing here. He's started something he couldn't finish."

@StigAbell gives his opinion on the impact of Donald Trump's actions in Iran.
