Book of the Day in New Statesman: "...few writers could jump so nimbly between Proust and RuPaul, neuroscience and the occult....I loved the exhilarating oddness of it."

‘Our government’s complicit. Labour MPs should get a backbone and stand up for justice. We will only have peace when there is justice. Solidarity with Palestinians!’ @LindseyAGerman#Palestine#FreePalaestine#Gaza
The collective punishment of the Palestinian people is a war crime.
We will carry on demonstrating as long as it takes to stop the bombardment of Gaza, to end the occupation, and to bring about a just and lasting peace.
We may be witnessing the total obliteration of Gaza.
Political leaders refusing to speak out should feel eternal shame over the horror they are allowing to unfold.
Those of us who believe in peace cannot stay silent. We must say to the Palestinian people: you are not alone.
I can’t express how angry I am at the vandalism of the tree at #SycamoreGap.
People have had their ashes scattered there. People have proposed there. I’ve picnicked there with my wife and kids. It’s part of our collective soul.
We must bring whoever did this to justice.
We are shocked and desperately saddened to learn that the famous Sycamore Gap tree at Hadrian's Wall has been felled overnight, in what appears to be an act of vandalism.
We know just how much this iconic tree is loved locally, nationally and by everyone who has visited.
We are working with our partners to understand what has happened and what can be done.
The incident has also been reported to the police.
@nationaltrust this is how I feel about the two mature birch trees felled on my roads grass verge this summer, am still misssing them, killed because @TaylorWimpeyplc sold the verge, to a man who tried to speed up plannning permission and change of use, which was not granted
