Autumn arrives in London, and neighbours go all in with Halloween preps.

"China has, under our noses, achieved a new type of imperial power: digital colonialism." My piece for the @dailyexpressnews.bsky.social today. "The African states hungriest for Chinese surveillance are often the most authoritarian, and the most hostile to our values and our way of life." 🫣

I'm excited to share the cover of my latest book, China's African Empire. It's the story of China's stealth colonialism in Africa, from its hunt for unicorns in 15th cent. to today's creeping control of data across the entire continent.Thanks to@headofzeus.bsky.social @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social

Delighted to be in Bucharest signing copies of my book, Children of the Night (Copiii Noptii), at one of the most beautiful bookshops in Europe. There’s never been a more important time to understand Romania’s epic and complicated history. Also, there’s a good chapter on Dracula! 🧛‍♂️🇷🇴🇬🇧

This is a humdinger. Important programme proving that UK exports pollution in huge quantities to villages in India: ill health, even death as a result. What’s the gvt doing? Thanks to brilliant @annameisel.bsky.social and @carljohnston.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

How the UK's end-of-life tyres are causing health and environmental damage in India.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Brilliant original journalism from BBC. How drivers in UK are inadvertently poisoning villagers in India. It’s a must-listen, and should change Gvt policy. Thanks to brilliant @annameisel.bsky.social and @carljohnston.bsky.social

Millions of UK tyres meant for recycling sent to furnaces in India

The illegal makeshift plants cause serious health problems and huge environmental damage.

Russia plotting to kill on UK soil again, this time journalists. Court finds huge cell of Russian-sponsored spies trying to murder Putin critics here. And yet Trump thinks Russia does no wrong! ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard...

Historic moment, British-Israeli hostage freed in first batch of three. Look at the send off from Hamas. Does it look like they’re defeated…. 🕊️

Romania’s on the cusp of political breakdown after elections were annulled. Communists, fascists and ex-Securitate battle for control. Seeded in 100 years of coups, assassinations, death cults and multiple dictatorships, there’s a pattern here. My book Children of the Night explains all.

Christmas signing at magical Hatchards. Children of the Night is a great present for history buffs…as is Dictatorland. 🎁

I'm new here. If you follow me on the other side, please do the same here so we can all link up again. Here to talk about books, writing and documentary making. Seems a little less intense than the other place. Thank God.
