“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

I am a huge admirer of Brian’s culture coverage so this is not intended as any kind of jibe, but given the importance of these issues I thought I’d respond briefly. I totally agree that governments need to prioritise culture more, that it is too often an ‘easy’ casualty when…

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.

Mark has been an outstanding First Minister of Wales. Principled, thoughtful, hard-working, he always stood up for Wales and for those in society who most need government on their side. He will be the hardest of acts to follow. I will always be grateful for his counsel and…

Henry was an extraordinary human being. While the world is a poorer place for his passing, there is no doubt that his life made it better. Alongside his beloved wife, Ingrid, Henry educated thousands about the horrors of the Holocaust and the lessons from it that we must never…
