My book Divide and Rule is out today. And it has some relevance to #Makerfield. It exposes how Royal women are being co-opted into culture wars & disinformation to the benefit of populism. As it happens, when Andy died, the only politicians who sent me condolences were Ed Miliband & Andy Burnham
I made @iaindale.bsky.social cry - and he me. Here we are on life, death, love, politics and my new book Divide and Rule: Royal Women and Their Battles

Oh, for god's sake, BBC, just hire well-qualified, good humoured people with interesting things to say, a cheerfully sceptical view of life and a shrewdly tolerant love of the absurd

Hello! Is it my new book you’re looking for?
You can see it on preorder
You can get it from tomorrow
It’s all you ever wanted
On queens and royal brides
‘Cause it knows just who they are
And why we don’t know what they do
And it will tell you so much
That is new. 🧵
The stories of Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I, Victoria, Elizabeth II, Diana, Camilla, Kate and Meghan revealed in Divide and Rule: Royal Women and Their Battles are SO much more fascinating, poignant, surprising and enraging than any of the myths.
Well that was a day. Admin, planning, plotting plus three interviews, one photo shoot, a book launch and the last episode of Tip Toe.
Interviewed about my new book, Divide and Rule: Royal Women and Their Battles. Out TOMORROW 18 June! #divideandrule #royalwomen www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family...
From Thursday, people can read for themselves what I actually wrote in Divide and Rule. In the meantime, fulminations against the purported content of my book are providing some great potential blurbs for the paperback. Here’s one: “It’s dangerous!”

To spread the word, I’m speaking to a wide variety of media outlets, podcasts, newspapers, magazines and broadcasters ahead of publication tomorrow 18th June, including Hello! harpercollins.co.uk/products/div...
There may be more insight and heart in this piece by @rachelsylvester.bsky.social with Lemn Sissay in Makerfield than in all the other by-election coverage combined
