I've just finished The Romantic by William Boyd and I only wish it had been longer. The novel is both highly entertaining and technically accomplished. An absolute joy.

Maybe at the moment we should all (me included) take a break from any discussion of Cambridge's policies, and reflect on the tragic human costs -- and remember with compassion the person who paid a dreadful price.

When the whole world learned about Bucha. About Ukrainians butchered in the streets of Bucha by Russian occupiers. About our people tortured in basements. About those shot on the roads. About adults and children whose bodies were found in graves in Bucha. Everyone saw the horror that Russia and its aggression bring. They saw what Ukraine is really defending itself against.
Today, on the fourth anniversary of Bucha’s liberation from Russian occupiers, we honored the memory of Ukrainians who were killed and tortured there. We remember and will never forget what the enemy did. Every Russian murderer, executioner, and terrorist must be held accountable for every crime against our people.
Blessed be the memory of everyone whose lives were taken by Russia – to all who were killed in Bucha and across Ukraine at the hands of Russian occupiers.

While the world’s attention has been on Iran and the Gulf, Ukraine has been quietly cutting away at Russia’s control over eastern Ukraine. In the last three weeks Ukraine has won back an area of more than 300 square miles.

The remaining Iranian women’s soccer players were forcibly dragged onto a plane today to return to be punished by the Islamic Regime.
This is likely the last time anyone will see them alive.
Horrible. There are no words.

Did you know that midwives were present at the Nativity? Neither did I before I read this brilliantly researched and beautifully illustrated book by nursing leader and award-winning journalist, Jane Salvage. Recommended! @renardpress

Another triumph from @antti_tuomainen and @OrendaBooks. Antti's new novel #TheWinterJob is a gripping, darkly comic and deeply touching journey that touches nerves you didn't know you had. Absolutely recommended.
