The Drew Parker series. If Jack Reacher had a family...

He's the latest PNG Courier, for those too time poor to click through to my Substack... substack.com/@mrhenrymorr...

Have to give the Vatican top marks for timing. Interrupting Trump's big PR announcement of his 'BIG' trade deal with the UK. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Reform UK’s plans to obstruct green energy projects in Lincolnshire put at risk almost £1bn in local investment and more than 12,000 jobs, How many people analysed policies before voting for Reform, the party that also voted against worker rights.

This didn't work out too well for the losers that carted off that other woman in the other town hall. Also find it interesting that they were trying to get that other woman to stop filming. Didn't want their illegal actions caught on camera huh? And who was the guy in the baseball cap

Just been watching BBC News Verify Live (if ever there was a misnomer), they should rename it Trump Appreciation Hour. They put him up live and allow him drone on and on with diatribes of unsubstantiated BS. What happened to the news?

"We have an FBI director who received $25,000 for appearing in a film, executive producing a film, made by a Ukrainian-American-Russian who worked on a propaganda project that was financed, in part, by Vladimir Putin's office." "Why this isn't a bigger story, I don't know."

Round and round she goes…

Can't cook, dress, eat, or toilet unaided? Soon, that won’t qualify you for help. 1.3 million disabled people face losing support. Read that again. #PIP 👇😞

The Drew Parker Series of spy crime thrillers so far. No 5 due out in September.

The story of Trump’s secret plan to make everyone a vegan.

I just told Speaker Hoyle to keep Trump out of Parliament - will you do the same? actionstorm.org/petitions/du... #DumpTrump

www.theguardian.com/global/2025/... It would be easier to avoid this and read a book and escape- but I believe we must read what Carole is saying. ( With dread, anxiety, stress and determination)

Available from today from Amazon When a close protection officer takes bullet whilst shielding their principal it would normally be accepted as a hazard of their trade. However, when the shooter turns out to be one of their own, Drew Parker vows to find and catch the culprit.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

I’m beginning to think that the people who claimed to care deeply about academic liberty & freedom of speech on college campuses may not have been entirely honest.

This is in fact what we have done. Foolish, shortsighted, appalling.

Word of the day is ‘bugiard’ (17th century): one who distorts the truth beyond all recognition to fit their own agenda.

The wait is nearly over, 'To Save a Mockingbird', the 4th in the Drew Parker series of crime/spy thrillers will be available on Amazon from 17th April.

I pray you’ll read my latest. We are being challenged as a nation and this is a test we must pass. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Colonel Susan Meyers of the US Space Force, stationed at Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, was removed from her command after criticizing Vance’s unneeded and costly visit to Greenland. She stated her loyalty to the US and the law and not to politicians so Trump got rid of her.

Casar: At the end of the day, this is about taking your hard-earned money and giving it to themselves—or funneling it to their friends. That’s all this is about.

Carney’s Checkmate: How Canada's Quiet Bond Play Forced Trump to Drop Tariffs open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

I tell this story because I want you to know that these things can happen. My grandfather worked in the media & was jailed by an authoritarian regime. Can it happen here? Yes! Trump wouldn't hesitate. So if you're in the media stop ignoring Abrego Garcia's story because you might just be next.

10% baseline tariff with the US, even with a deal… which could be ripped up on some mad whim anyway. Not exactly nailing it, are we? Honest to god. Let’s just ask to join the EU Customs Union and Single Market and stop this desperate country-damaging nonsense.

The wait is nearly over, 'To Save a Mockingbird', the 4th in the Drew Parker series of crime/spy thrillers will be available from Amazon from 17th April.

This isn't The Art of the Deal. It's insider trading with a bad comb-over. Step 1: Tank the Market, Scare the Non-Millionaires Step 2: Let the Aristocrats Feast Step 3: Flip, but say ‘Winning’ Step 4: Pretend None of This Ever Happened & Get Your Media Dregs To Do The Same Rinse, Enrich, Repeat.

Have a feeling I’m going to be using this a lot over the next four years

An EV fraudster (not Musk!) with $2 million in sudden pro-Trump donations. A swindler of the Oglala Sioux who became a vocal Biden critic. The GOP donor who used to run Fatburger. If you're not outraged by Trump's pardons and DOJ abuses, you aren't paying attention www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

A veteran who returned injured from Iraq continued serving by working for the VA. She now faces a crisis at home, after the Department of Government Efficiency’s cuts targeted her job. nyti.ms/4hN4q8d
