    Just under two weeks now until the release of #TheOdessaAssassin in hardback, digital and on audio. The third book in the Odessa Saga and my second co-written work with the late, great, all-time master thriller writer Frederick Forsyth. One bullet to take the White House 1/2

    I decided to film this morning’s training session. Just to show off to my son. Did myself proud.

    First proper session back in the gym this morning, after two and a half weeks off. Upside is careful diet and creatine has prevented me putting on unwanted weight during the hiatus. Downside is that, being 48, the 18 day break may as well have been a year. Absolutely smashed.

    RT @Jebadoo2: The real purpose of the conversion bill is to put gender identity into law. This bill does that but it calls it "transgender identity", but it doesn't define it, because it can't be defined. That will make any distressed teenager a prosecution risk for parents.

    4/ Using a real history of gay pain to prosecute parents is a misuse of the criminal law and a misuse of our history. This bill exploits gay rights to smuggle in contested identity concepts into criminal law.

    My trial in the Old Bailey ended today, the 3rd day of jury retirement I’d almost forgotten that this building was where I wrote most of the 1st draft of my 1st book, #KillerIntent Until I spent the past few days writing my 8th in exactly the same spot All very nostalgic!!

    Didn’t take Andy Burnham long to reach that point: “So we could do something about the hellscape we & our predecessors created. Or….we could scare the shit out of them.” Decision? “Let’s go with the latter. But let’s also tax them until they can’t even afford that grab bag!”

    Described as a “pulsating rollercoaster of a book” and “an all-too believable thriller ripped from the contemporary consciousness”, The Odessa Assassin is the very last book to enjoy Freddie’s input and one of which I am inordinately proud.

    There’s something very nice about seeing deer in the front garden on the way to work, only to be in London Marylebone 22 minutes later & at the Old Bailey in under 40 I know it’s not technically the country, but with cornfields next door & wildlife like this, it’s close enough…

    Before I started weight training in 2025 - when I was more of a fat bastard than I cared to admit - I would eat something like this. Then dessert. Then probably some sweets in front of the TV. I had this last night. I was knocked out: 8pm to 7am. Still bloody nice though!!

    2 week trial & lots of urgent side work has kept me out of the gym for the past fortnight I was feeling guilty. Then I made my speech today & contracted the post-speech munchies! Now I’ve no choice: back to the gym tomorrow come hell or high water! But first…Toby Carvery!!

    Students, yeah!?! How about you all stop fucking lying to us, before you whip up enough resentment that you make conflict inevitable!!! People are smart enough to know when they’re being gaslit. The lies are making this worse.

    Man has not made a good movie since he stopped working with his ex-wife Given how unutterably smug, self-satisfied & developmentally stunted he seems 100% of the time - without a hint of the sophisticated sense of humour that made his reputation - I think the maths does itself…

    Taika Waititi says his “Star Wars” movie, which has been in development since 2020, has been put "on ice": “I hate to break this to you, but we’re going to actually put it on ice and we’re working on a different thing together... I don’t even know how to dress it up or make it even vague... It’s very iced. I’ve got about four other movies I’m trying to do,” he continued. “Ice ages do come to an end… Who knows?”
