“In the process of writing this profoundly life-affirming memoir, it is clear that Rushdie has found his own peace. For the rest of us, it should have the opposite effect. It should shake us from our complacencies.” @NicolaSturgeon on @SalmanRushdie

Really bad news. I know money is tight but very much hope that a way is found to get @AyeWrite back on track. Books, culture generally, are so vital to our wellbeing - and never more so than in the troubled times we live in today. Book festivals are opportunities to celebrate the

Sending best wishes to Leo Varadkar. I always enjoyed a good working relationship with him when I was FM. He was a strong leader of Ireland and a good friend to Scotland. I wish him well.
