Good Morning! We’ve got wonderful news for you! Absolutely delighted that Horatio Clare’s We Came by Sea has been shortlisted for the 2025 #NeroBookAwrds. It’s a very impressive shortlist. The paperback is now at the printers and is available for pre order! @horatioclare.bsky.social #BookSky
I'm late to this party, but Aubrey and the Terrible Yoot by @horatioclare.bsky.social and illustrated by Jane Matthews (not sure if she's on Bluesky) is a brilliant book, that deals with its serious subject with imagination and hope. I'm very glad I finally got round to reading it.
Grok AI says its master Elon Musk's cuts to US AID will cause 2-3 million preventable deaths per year. The idea that a man so politically ignorant, socially cruel and pathologically narcissistic should have the remotest idea about the UK, or anything whatsoever to contribute to our future, is a joke
‘As Union Jacks are appearing, even in this corner of rural Gloucestershire, this book carries a different flag. Stories of a greater Britain.’ @horatioclare.bsky.social's ‘We Came By Sea’ tells migrants’ stories with humanity, writes Sue Brooks www.caughtbytheriver.net/2025/09/we-c...
Reading this insightful book by @horatioclare.bsky.social - he quotes Clare Moseley of Care4Calais "If we had put all the billions of pounds we're spending on the asylum backlog, on the hotels, on the holding centres, on Rwanda, on all the security into investing in infrastructure and jobs..imagine"

Glad to have signed this deeply thought-through letter. It often feels there’s little we can do, yet we can’t let what we witness on our screens & in print numb or paralyse us. Until the civilians of Gaza are safe & given adequate food, water, medical aid & relief. TY @horatioclare.bsky.social

What a generous, compassionate project and book @horatioclare.bsky.social. I hope it helps raise awareness of (and funds for) the fine humanitarian work done by some of the institutions discussed, such as the RNLI.
