We use this quote from James Carville quite a bit on our show (I wonder if Trump knows it): "I used to think that if there was reincarnation, I wanted to come back as the president or the pope. But now I would like to come back as the bond market. You can intimidate everybody."

RT @TimesRadio: “Trump and the Republicans have to change course this summer. And if they don’t, its too late.” Trump is heading towards a…

Coming up on @TimesRadio Breakfast: Trump brings in 104% tariffs on China, more to fall on everybody else? Does this change China’s place in world opinion, even as Chinese soldiers are fighting against Ukraine? Plus, grooming gangs inquiries, end of mackerel, millionaires etc https://t.co/btUT8pDFFj

RT @TimesRadio: “I have a nasty feeling that ship has already sailed.” @AnthonyHorowitz has “very, very little hope” AI can be stopped, he…

Coming up on @TimesRadio Breakfast: all out trade war, as Trump refuses to back down, China fights back, and the world trembles. Plus, who made money yesterday, first womb transplant baby, pets better than partners, ID cards, Brummy rats eating cars, American in Southend etc https://t.co/RKlAuzc1zo

Patricia Highsmith sets her books in these amazing European location, but her trick is never doing much description. I love landscape writing; she does the opposite, focussing instead on the claustrophobic inner geography of her main character. God it’s good. https://t.co/DeEymBAGSA

Do come to this on Wednesday: talking crime fiction with the great Anthony Horowitz.

Waterstones @Waterstones

Join us in London for a very special evening celebrating detective fiction with two masters of the genre, Anthony Horowitz and Stig Abell. Details here: https://t.co/AdElBZirY6 https://t.co/9eFW4U47fq

We have been debating the wretched return of 90s-style curtains. In the spirit of stopping this before it starts, here is how bad I looked with them when I was a teenager. https://t.co/36kbr6K9jN

Coming up on @TimesRadio Breakfast: as markets plunge, and the government calls the end of globalisation, what does the new era of economics look like? Plus, NI rise, cars have got big, Israel and free speech, 20 years of Charles and Camilla (officially), return of 90s curtains! https://t.co/RFaBJwVgw2

Re-reading Updike, this an old copy of Witches I have written over when reviewing him. A phrase like this sticks out: “the juice of violence beneath the plump complacent skin”. Over-ripe like the tomato itself, verging on the ridiculous. The book so full of this type of imagery. https://t.co/OT1pL4HXJs

This is the proper setting for reading a book…

Coming up on @TimesRadio Breakfast: it’s Liberation Boxing Day! Trump imposes tariffs on the world - what next? Will sucking up to the US really work for the UK, how many jobs will be lost, did Brexit help us? Plus, how we failed to extradite Tate, young not lazy, letters etc https://t.co/m9hsH3uBm3

It’s awful to repost reviews of your book and I wouldn’t normally do it. But I have written thousands and thousands of words about Livia, the vet in Little Sky, and I am so pleased that an actual vet likes her and The Burial Place. https://t.co/ZZuq1g5rLP

RT @TimesRadio: “It's quite sad…We’re sitting there with our little begging bowl, hoping that Mr. Trump, because he's got a Scottish mother…

Coming up on @TimesRadio Breakfast: Liberation Day, a classic euphemism of its kind, signifying the exact opposite of its true meaning. So what happens next? Everyone else retaliates, we keep calm and carry on. Plus, RIP Val Kilmer, breastfeeding on Ozempic, bits of rough etc https://t.co/h8oL5BVErP

Shocking news this morning: the death of Val Kilmer. So great as Doc Holliday in Tombstone, and many others, but he will always be Iceman to me. https://t.co/Q9bJrlTlTJ
