I’m going for a viewing at #SquareChapelArtsCentre Halifax tomorrow, to see what state it’s in after it fell into darkness. Even if I’m unable to save it (& I’d dearly love to) let’s hope there’s some kindly, art-loving benefactor out there who cares enough about it to do so! 🙏🏻

Finally made a reel on my own books 😄. Believe me, it wasn't easy. Takes ages to edit these reels, but if they help in getting the word out, then why not 😅 All of my books are available from bookshops and online! #Pakistan #WritingCommunity

As Donald Trump arrives in the UK, let's send a message loud and clear to @POTUS He is NOT welcome here. His divisive politics are NOT welcome here. His attitude to Gaza is NOT welcome here. His racism, transphobia and mysogony are NOT welcome here!

Actor Robert De Niro on Donald Trump: “It’s all an act. He’s deeply insecure. He’s a malignant narcissist. He’s a socio-psychopath. He’s dangerous. Shame on Republicans that don’t have the balls to go after him. He’s an outright fucking criminal.”
