Does anyone have experience with live-in carers? Querying for a friend. My DMs are opening you know anyone who does 2-3 weeks on, then same time off?

Rishi Sunak’s is saying he will bring in National service (which nobody wants) IF he wins (which is more than likely he will not.)

But let’s focus on that hypothetical situation rather than the charred bodies of men, women & children who slept in a designated safe area

Just look at these gorgeous, gorgeous books!

Our next #UnboundFirsts books are coming out in bookshops this June. Iqbal Hussain #NorthernBoy 6 June & Zahra Barri's debut novels are both BRILLIANT. I am so tremendously proud that we're publishing them Unbound. 📚❤️

I finally have my hands on a copy of “Northern Boy”! It feels surreal to see my words down in physical form, bound between such beautiful covers. Thank you to the amazing team at Mattias Morrison, my brilliant editor Marissa Constantinou and my ace agent robert caskie for getting me here.

One of the more annoying aspects of my OCD is when it flares up I become conscious of my breathing - and breath voluntarily instead of involuntarily.

When I tell you I devoured this book! So excited that N S Nuseibeh will be at Bradford Literature Festival this year in conversation with the wonderful Selma Dabbagh
