Great book, loved it. And, if like me, you listen rather than read, I’ve been using the Libro app for audiobooks. Another way of cutting Amaz*n out of your life and you can chose a local bookshop to support with each of your downloads.
If, like me, you prefer not to enrich Mr Bezos any more than necessary, you can get the Kobo edition of The Rest Is Death for just 99p at the moment. Fill yer boots! www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/...

Whenever media say “end trans ideology,” they mean end the rights of trans people. Remember “gay ideology” referred to gay people marrying, having kids, not getting fired from work, showing affection in public without harassment (aka basic human rights). Transphobic rhetoric is recycled homophobia.

Same over here. It’s way past time we stopped trying to accommodate anti-immigrant views. They are born of racism and can never be satisfied. Immigration is a net positive. Say it loud and often.
And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration.
Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.

Lived there for a decade. Can confirm.
First superb conspiracy theory of 2026 overheard in the street! I love this. I feel it sets the tone for a superb year:
“Wales is fake.”

Notes all typed up. Resisting the urge to send them to my editor right now. He'll not see them until Monday at the earliest. Now I think I've probably earned a drink. Happy New Year all you reprobates.

I have written 50k words of something else this year too, so maybe not that old yet.
That's the last read through of The Violent Hour done. Just need to type up the final correction notes and my work is done. Started work on it in January, so it's taken longer than most of my novels. Slowing down in my old age.

I am in awe of people who can do coherent annual roundups. I can barely remember what I had for breakfast.
