Great week in Scarborough, but very difficult to drive out. Lots of snow and the hills were impassable. Took a while to find a way out. #scarborough #snow

Just finishing listening to audio book of Forged for Destiny by @aknighton.bsky.social. What a brilliant story. So looking forward to the sequel. This is definitely one to pick up. Loved it!!! #booksky #💙📚
Book post arrived - my author copies of Forged for Destiny! So shiny. Failed at willpower & stopped to read a bit, was relieved to find that I still love the opening of this one. Obviously, you should all go read it too.

Just over halfway through an advanced copy of the Audio version of @aknighton.bsky.social new book. Get the book, it is a great story. I listen to it on my commute home each day and actually quite enjoy being stuck in traffic as I get to listen for longer. Just bought the ebook too. #booksky 💙📚
New book day!
Forged for Destiny, my fantasy story about a fake chosen one, is out now from @orbitbooks.bsky.social!* Secret schemes, folk magic, the messy art of divination, & a shapeshifting actor take the stage for a story of lies & adventure.

🚨 CONFIRMED: Social security for disabled people has been slashed in the Spring Statement.
This is cruel, irresponsible and shameful.
People at food banks are already telling us that they’re terrified about how they will survive.

Rebadging welfare payments given in support to those who are looking for work or are unable to work as ‘handouts’ is a page right out of the Tory playbook. While at the same time accepting free clothes and concert tickets. I keep having to check to make sure this is Labour.

an extra quarter of a million people including 50,000 children will be in relative poverty by 2029/30

Thought things would be better after getting rid of the nasty Tory party. Seems that’s not the case. Absolutely disgusted with #Labour. Hitting the poorest and the most vulnerable is inexcusable. A #wealthtax is needed as soon as possible.
