Just had my pre-ordered edition of David Nicholls's new book "You Are Here" arrive, only to learn that it's serialised next Monday on BBC R4. Not a great incentive to purchase in advance...

I’m delighted that a new edition of “Bandit Country” will hit the streets next Thursday. Hard to believe it was written 25 years ago. The dead can’t sue, so this edition names a few more names…

An excellent long-read by The Telegraph's former Moscow correspondent @Nat_Vasilyeva She had to leave Russia after the invasion, & 18 months later was re-assigned to Israel, arriving just two weeks before the Oct 7 attacks. telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…

Visited Kupiansk in north-east Ukraine. Could it be the next town in the Kremlin's sights? telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…
A slightly awkward moment during the @UKHouseofLords journalism hearing yesterday. I didn't mean to look "very annoyed"... But: I think we can only fix local news if we are honest about how broken it is. You can't stop the fire if you refuse to admit the house is burning.
Went up to the town of Kupiansk on Ukraine's north-east frontline, about 25 miles from the Russian border. Could it be the next Avdiivka? telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…

Some personal news: I've started today as Senior Features Reporter, US, for The Times & The Sunday Times. Extremely excited to get cracking!

Delighted to announce I’ll be stepping into John Beattie’s massive shoes as the presenter of Drivetime on @BBCRadioScot from Mon-Wed. Honoured to be picking up the baton and excited to work with his brilliant team. It’s going to be some year, this, can’t wait to get started.
It’s not the headline I would have chosen but otherwise go on… knock yerself out… “I was an alcoholic lads’ mag editor. Now I’m California sober” thetimes.co.uk/article/143fb9…
Some professional news: I’ve joined @BBCNews as a senior journalist, where I will be curating, editing and writing newsletters. I’m glad to be here!

I was born when Somalia was officially known as - the Somali Republic, it changed and I grew up with the name - Somali Democratic Republic and today it is called the Federal Republic of Somalia. I am hoping that we don't see the birth of a 4th Republic.
