"Iran is not the biggest issue in this region with America. Gaza is what is tearing people apart, is what is fueling hatred...children starved, the largest cohort of child amputees in the history of modern warfare..." Brilliant from Clarissa Ward

I absolutely love this hand-sewn version of my book's front cover. Thank you so much Emily Cockayne - what beautiful work!

I live in a country that gives military support to another country which is killing thousands of civilians while proscribing an organisation which protests about it.

Publication day for Wolf Moon - and daisies from my roof terrace! @sceptrebooks

I was first struck by Ellie Keel's talent & courage when she co-founded The Women’s Prize for Playwriting. Since then she has produced some 💥 shows, written a best-selling bk and now this Edinburgh Festival Fringe, 3pm daily. I rarely rave before seeing a show but I have big expectations. Congrats Ellie Keel

On the other side of the balcony scene tonight #Evita #eventtheatre

After watching the film #DoctorsInGaza, basement films which BBC refused to show, broadcast on Channel 4 last night, Gary Lineker says the BBC should ‘hang its head in shame’. He said it was one of the most important and moving films he’s ever seen. ‘It needs to be seen’.

Woken up unable to say, even to two friends, that I support a non-violent protest group. No journalistic exemption, 14 years in prison. If this were happening anywhere east of Turkey we'd be calling it an authoritarian regime.

Interview on the writing of Wolf Moon: somethingcurated.com/2025/07/03/ari…

A moment of much appreciated sanity from Archie Bland theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Greatly enjoyed this conversation with Arifa on the psychic and intellectual terrain of her new book Wolf Moon and her relationship with fear, darkness and cities. somethingcurated.com/2025/07/03/ari…

Why aren’t their north London schools being investigated for breeding terrorism? If these were British Muslims fleeing abroad to kill children they’d be arrested on return to the UK and probably stripped of citizenship and deported “cough” Shamima Begum.

Why do this?

Israel says its attack on Iran's Evin prison was "symbolic." That makes it a war crime because it was a civilian facility filled with political prisoners, at least 79 of whom Israel killed while injuring dozens. nytimes.com/2025/07/06/wor…

Phew. An Israeli soldier said it, so we can finally take it seriously. Who cares that Palestinians have been saying this?

This looks fascinating! theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

The more that comes out about what's happening in Gaza - to a captive population of two million people - the more I wonder about the comprehension levels of journalists who continue to be flummoxed by why people might want to show solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide.
