Blimey...Just caught the tail end of Jobbie on Sky TV's Sophy Ridge show!

Flogging your book must be knackering...
 
If Nick Abbot doesn't stop going on about the new Rolling Stones album I'm going to cut off his streaming service .... He was going on about it in the Nick and Carol podcast too. 🤪

The Telegraph is completely rudderless right now as it awaits to be bought-out. It really should have just ignored the book. I doubt many people who read the Telegraph know who Jimbo is. I would imagine the audience his book is aimed at are politically aware left-leaning students and non-university educated adults who hate the Tories and don't read much. Still, as a pragmatist I do believe reading is a good thing and if the book makes money for the publisher it might then be able to offer authors who are actually talented a book deal. I'm desperately trying to find something positive to say! :LOL:

Blimey being bought out ? I didn’t realise. As a long term subscriber and before that hard copy reader, I must admit I’m not at all left leaning and certainly not of student age!

It's either going to be owned by The Daily Mail or the bloke who runs GB News. Aren't you a lucky boy! :ROFLMAO: Nah, shouldn't laugh ... sad to see a once decent paper end that way.

I may be misremembering but The Telegraph used to be up there with The Times in terms of respect and quality journalism. Shame what's happened to it.

I find it still a good read, and still reasonably balanced. There's more to it than justpolitics. I hope it keeps its broadsheet format.

I sometimes get a freebie DT with my Waitrose vouchers (posh innit). I like it too but am hardly qualified to judge. It's great for lining my guinea pig hutch afterwards :)
