I can't be the only one who thinks this looks like the consolation prize at Chicken Bingo.

I tend to imagine this all happening while he sits on one of his gold toilets waiting for a movement.

The eyewatering hypocrisy writes itself.

Lisa Doyle is Absolutely Fine - warm, sharp, romantic. If you ever had a bad idea and ran with it

Very happy to say that Lisa Doyle Is Absolutely Fine is out in June 2026. It’s a warm, funny, slightly chaotic novel about one fake engagement, a lot of pressure, and a woman whose life is not nearly as sorted as she’d like people to think.

Bald man with long white beard shown to be blowing in the wind

Bravo to The Independent photo editor for this choice to illustrate high winds forecast due to Storm Dave this weekend.

I'm not sure about you, but I think the collapse of US hegemony, a global price spike and recession, and a new ground war in the Middle East are far worse than drag queens reading books at the library.

If there were any chance of conviction, yes. I fear the US is not yet there.

I only ever know a book is ready for an editor when I loathe it to the point of bonfire.

That next book will eventually allow itself to be thought of as done and good enough to leave to its own devices. It will stop being that hateful pile of words you also love. Stay strong.

At last the clock in my car is right again for six months.

The UK is preparing for scenarios where the US fails to offer needed support or potentially acts against it in a hostile manner. The strategy is to move closer towards medium strength nations, such as India, Canada and Australia, and accept our former ally is no longer reliable.

The current presidency in a nutshell.

I plan everything. Others don't. There's no rule really. Your first draft is you telling you the story.

Hi Mo Fanning, our book club is currently reading Lisa Doyle is Absolutely Fine and the story has sparked engaging and thoughtful discussions among our members. Would you be open to joining us for a brief virtual chat about the book?

Dear 'Ruby Rossini', no you are not. The book is out in June. I know the names of the people who have advance copies. curiouss.collective.bookclub@gmail.com Is not one of them. PS. Learn how to spell curious #scam

I wish pets lived longer and life wasn't so expensive and cake didn't make you fat and people weren't twats

Yeah.

I'm in a hotel. I've spent ten minutes working out how to turn off 17 lights. It's just a standard room. Is this just something they do to distract me from nicking towels?
