Are you listening @JohnLewisRetail ? Did you bother to ask any female customers ( the ones who are at least 85% of your clientele)? Or do you have a death-wish?

Little Women author Louisa May Alcott may have been non-binary, expert claims More clickbait silliness - because of course if a woman is successful, pioneering, brave she can’t be a woman!

I agree with every one of these letters, none of which are in conflict. Trans people do need protection, and safe spaces - just not those of women. We could all move on if this were accepted.

To all who are voting tomorrow in the @Soc_of_Authors AGM against 1) @Joannechocolat and 2) in favour of free expression: I am not afraid. I have such a fierce loathing of bullies that it burns away all else. Remember this. That’s what we fight. That, and LIES.

Your own PR team is such crap you have failed to notice that everyone loathes you for what you have done to litfests, authors and readers. Total own goal, virtue-signalling fools.

Baillie Gifford’s PR team must be rubbing their hands w/ glee after pulling-off a nifty exit from festivals w/out answering a single question. Climate justice and human rights campaigners have been thrown under the bus while Baillie Gifford slink away.

Derek Jarman's posthumous book Modern Nature, about his garden at Dungeness beautifully read by Rupert Everett on @BBCRadio4 so moving, both as descriptions of joy in nature and as the deep sorrow and courage of gay men faced with AIDS. We lost so much.
