One thing I should have said about my new thriller The Kill Switch is that I wrote it both as a standalone novel as well as the third book in a series. There is no requirement to have read the preceding two to immerse in this one

I asked the new prime minister a) what he’ll do if the state of public services and the public finances are worse than he expects and b) whether the culture and practice of his government will be influenced by the mismatch between his huge parliamentary majority and his relatively small national vote share. This is what he said

At the manifesto launch, I asked Keir Starmer: “you say you want people to trust you and restore stability to the UK. But it is the opposite of that to make the bogus claim that you can get growth up sufficiently by next year to prevent significant cuts to public services. So how are you going to avoid a return to austerity?” Attached is his reply

Who will they blame? If they feel let down by the democratic referendum process, what will it mean for their confidence in democracy? Kishan Koria The Royal Society of Arts

And Labour’s Jon Ashworth did not want to engage with me at all about how a Labour government would prevent savage cuts in core public services that are inevitable on the basis of the spending plans it would inherit if it wins the election. This is another lively exchange
