Românian exit poll 54.9% Nicușor (centrist)
45.1% Simion ( far right)
But that does not include the large diapsora vote. More likely to be in favour of Simion.
Good luck Romania

It’s called harassment and it IS illegal.
And I am 50 not nearly 50.
Emotions are running high.
When is it going to STOP?

In a world where we talk of peace in times of war, how do we manage ideas of war in times of peace?

Where are we heading?
God only knows but it feels properly insecure out here on the Eastern Frontier of NATO/EU.
A salient reminder that the opportunists who gambled the defense of Europe on a win for Trump cannot be trusted.

When I asked her to select a monument to war for my pending book #lestweforget she wasn’t content to just tell her own story through the KinderTransport statue at Liverpool Street but wanted to move the narrative forward.

She arrived in England aged 2 and loved it here. Later in life she returned and has spent all her life giving back, working for Amnesty International among others and making a difference.

Thought I would find respite in a 1926 book of poetry for the weekend.
It has a section of hate poetry. Really. 😳
Here is one about a ‘fat white woman whom nobody loves’
Before X there were poetry compilations.

President Trump, a convicted felon, has promised to root out a
‘Radical and corrupt elite.’
He has also promised a ‘golden age of growth’ Under his last presidency more US factories closed than opened.

These belonged to my grandmother - they are a bridal set, French 1920s apparently.
I am sending them off to a new home today. Clearing my mum’s house out has been weirdly painful but inevitably the contents of a highland home don’t fit into a London dolls’ house. X

Meet Colin Bell DFC.
He flew 50 raids over Germany in WWII.
He raises money for charity so tirelessly aged 103 he has just been awarded an BEM in the #NewYearHonours 👏👏
He is the voice of the Bomber Command Monument in my upcoming book: Lest We Forget.
He is a living legend.

Coming out in May it looks at the way we commemorate war and loss and heroism.
My publisher thinks it a book for men. (The war bit)
I think it’s more about women (managing the fallout + and serving the war machine)
It commemorates 2000 yrs of warring Britannia.
🤞u like it.

What was a US airman doing on a remote Highland war memorial? I discovered the answer by talking to the oldest villager - Anne. The airman, David, was her uncle. She remembers him well. Her story (and his) triggered an idea for a book.

Kinloch Rannoch, the Highland village where I grew up.
When mum said she was leaving after 55 yrs I was heartbroken.
I walked to the War Memorial + cried. We were piped here every year as children.
Through the tears I saw something I’d never seen before. The name of an US airman🧵
