Off on holiday next week? Vaguely wondering which funny, but also strangely moving, coming-of age, class-exposing, dark academia-esque, crime-adjacent yet literary novel you should have on your Kindle for the trip? I FEEL VERY STRONGLY IT SHOULD BE THIS: amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CV66TJ45?…
Don’t miss @hugorifkind of @thetimes and @TimesRadio who is joining us on Sat 30 Nov in London to discuss his novel Rabbits, blending sharp comedy with a dark dive into modern life’s absurdities. In convo with @elliott_lexie Tx: standrewsbookfestival.org
Lots of great stuff in this week's How To Win (other than who might or might not be next ambassador to the US): - Is politics in crisis? - Are Peter & Danny bickering? - Are spads too young?
“If by some chance these two things were to happen, they are not incompatible with each other.” Peter Mandelson is asked whether he could be the next UK ambassador to the US as well as chancellor of the University of Oxford. 🗳️ How To Win An Election 🎧 pod.fo/e/28107a
No, but maybe, but also yes.

Sometimes, what you really want to read is Matthew Parris thinking what he thinks and giving absolutely zero fucks whether people agree with him or not.
One of the highlights of the festival! @gavinesler in conversation with James Naughtie and @hugorifkind A timely discussion about current affairs in UK and USA. Are both nations in deep crisis? Tx here: standrewsbookfestival.org
Just to let you know that The Times is open today for people to read without a subscription. So columns by me and my colleagues can be read for free for the rest of the day!
I like the way that "parental discretion is advised". It makes me feel like a Guns N' Roses album with a sticker on it in 1992.
Attention Scots in London. Also, other people in London? Come see me do this: ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/pont-…
Kudos to @rorystewartuk for coming on and doing this.
"I was completely wrong...obviously, I'm guilty of massive wishful thinking." Rory Stewart outlines how he got his prediction of a Harris win so wrong after Donald Trump swept to victory across government. #TimesRadio | @RoryStewartUK | @HugoRifkind
"Keir Starmer has a diplomatic difficulty on his hands." Trump's election makes Keir Starmer and David Lammy look like "amateurs" and will have damaged the special relationship says former home secretary Suella Braverman. @HugoRifkind | @SuellaBraverman | #TimesRadio
“He is not going to be preoccupied with a transition, it is going to be left to the likes of Vance, Musk and RFK Jr.” Donald Trump will be preoccupied with “quashing” his convictions, leaving “world order” to his posse of supporters, says @SarahChurchwell @HugoRifkind
“I thought the Democratic cause was doomed when they chose Kamala Harris because I just did not believe they would go for a black woman.” Sir Max Hastings tells #TimesRadio he is not surprised by the US election results as Americans are “very, very conservative.” @HugoRifkind
Spare me from four years of "why did the Democrats lose?" It's self-obsessed when the left does it, but it also gives the right a sly and shifty pass away from accountability. Trump and his voters have autonomy. They own this, whatever it means.
Today's How To Win An Election is on the fate of the free world. And, perhaps as importantly, tuition fees. pod.fo/e/27df8f
“I'm more optimistic that the gender gap won't prove to be a major dividing line." Immigration will prove more divisive than gender in this election, explains Chatham House’s Leslie Vinjamuri. 🗳️ How To Win An Election 🎧 pod.fo/e/27df8f @LondonVinjamuri @HugoRifkind
“Labour did not fight the election saying that they were never going to put up tuition fees.” Raising tuition fees is “not a U-turn", says Peter Mandelson. 🗳️ How To Win An Election 🎧 pod.fo/e/27df8f @HugoRifkind | @PollyMackenzie | @DannytheFink
When a spinal cord injury changed @Mel_ReidTimes' life forever, OTs from @NHSGGC were there to help. 💚 Join us this #OTWeek24 in sharing the power of occupational therapy to transform health and social care: loom.ly/H6McSps
Today's full Politics Unpacked is here. Like, subscribe, enjoy, get a tattoo, etc. pod.fo/e/27da4f
“This is the part of Kemi Badenoch that I sort of love.” The new Conservative leader is a “pretty cool corrective” to identity politics, says @HadleyFreeman @HugoRifkind | @PatrickKMaguire
