an enormous and influential tract of British media has no interest in addressing the fact Nigel Farage is a far-right agitator, and that is a complete failure
The novel I’m working on includes some glimpses at the late 2030s. What are your predictions for what the U.K. (and the world) will look like? I’m trying to balance realism, pessimism and a craving for optimism.
Absolutely thrilled that 59 MINUTES has been longlisted for the 2026 Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize!

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power
So sad to learn that Nora Ikstena has died aged 56. Soviet Milk is an exceptional novel that had a profound effect on me. If you’ve not read it, I urge you to pick it up. It’s slim but devastatingly effective.
Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop
Karoline@karoline.bsky.social · 10mo ago"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
