Today’s tube read is cancelled due to overcrowding 😔 #booksky #tubereads

Today’s holiday read. Unashamed fantasy! The lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. A darker homage to Fritz Leiber’s Grey Mouser. A rattling good swashbuckling yarn. #fantasybooks #booksky

Is there a word for the joy of introducing someone to a favourite book and them loving it too? I feel we have too few words describing the pleasures of books. Either that or I need educating in them! #booksky

No tube book today but a holiday book. Hoorah! Haven’t been able to put it down - Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft. Beautifully written fantasy, reads like a classic novel and a page turner to boot. #holidayreads #fantasybooks #booksky

Today’s tube read; a truly great author. Read this back to back with Cannery Row to see why. ‘All human life is here’ #booksky #tubereads

Today’s tube read. On a lovely sunny day in London, what better than a bucolic H.E.Bates tale. #Booksky #tubereads

The Have Your Say survey about the future of the BBC is invite only, to people with BBC accounts. Please take a few minutes to fill it out if you can, and ask them to keep doing everything they do well. #DefendTheBBC click.e.bbcmail.co.uk?qs=e0d08f509...

IMHO one of the greatest sword and sorcery books ever. Fantastical yet realistic, comical yet with a dark brooding menace. How wizards should be! #booksky #swordsandsorcery

Planning (and buying) my ‘holiday reads’. First on the list is a book I’ve always wanted to read but never got round to it. Love a bit of swords and sorcery 😁 #booksky #holidayreads

Today’s tube read. Magnificent and terrifying. One of the best books I’ve read about the human psyche #booksky

Today’s tube read. The British version of Machiavelli’s The Prince or Sun Tzu’s TheArt of War. A comic classic. #booksky #currentlyreading

Today’s tube read. Love this book. It’s up there with Orwell’s Down and Out in Paris and London. #booksky #tuberead

Hi America, is this still a thing? Asking for a few friends.

Today’s tube read. Love a bit of Hornblower ❤️ #booksky

So pleased with yesterday’s purchase from The Keel Row Books. 6 replace books I used to have but gave away. 2 new reads. Happy place 😁 Which would you read first? #booksky

Back home for a weekend. Barter books at Alnwick get all the press but I also love Keel Row Books at Whitley Bay ❤️ #booksky

Today’s tube read - beautifully grotesque #booksky

Football’s gannin’ hyem 😍

The richest 3 people have more money than the poorest 4 billion. But the problem (according to those richest people) is the poor people.

The right-wing press pushed a false narrative against ending the private school tax break…     Will they now issue a correction…?   They run the same narrative against a wealth tax... it’s equally false.

‘We must end this fight!’ shouts man repeatedly punching his opponent

We live in the dumbest of times.

BREAKING: The House of Commons has just passed Labour’s Employment Rights Bill. This will deliver the biggest upgrade in workers' rights in a generation 👏

Brilliant 🤣

What a different world we could have.

A message from Spain's left-wing government to the UK: take heart from our success on workers' rights. Raising living standards is the key to combating the far right. "If you fall into the dialogue of the far right, the far right wins." www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Richest 1% in the UK have - £2.8tn The poorest 70% (everybody with less than £650,000) have - £2.4tn That means if you took half the 1%'s wealth and gave it to the poorest 70% they would get 60% richer, and the 1% would still be more than 20x richer than them.

If you thin Chumbawumba is just ‘tubthumping’ watch this.

I am sentimental about my childhood—not my own particular childhood, but the civilization which I grew up in and which is now, I suppose, just about at its last kick. - George Orwell, Coming Up for Air #booksky

First read this book as a 13 year old when I randomly picked it up in my local library. Lovely bit of nostalgic reading 😁. #booksky #LoveLibraries

All national teams should start threatening a boycott of World Cup USA 2026.

A message from London...and 80% of the rest of the UK. The other 20% are the terminally stupid. #FuckMusk

Jeff Bezos made over $7.9 million an hour last year. In just 13 minutes, he made the equivalent of what a typical person earns in a lifetime. Don't tell me that the rich can't afford a wealth tax.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
