The Post Office Scandal and Me
WITH A FOREWORD FROM SIR ALAN BATES'A story of decency and courage in the face of a shameful miscarriage of justice', Lorraine Kelly'Incredible', The Times Jo Hamilton was one of more than 700 sub-postmasters prosecuted between 2000 and 2014 based on information from the Post Office's faulty Horizon accounting system. She was told to put right a wrong she hadn't committed and pushed to the very brink of her existence - remortgaging her house, borrowing from anyone she could in order to repay money that she hadn't taken, and questioning her own sanity. Immortalised in ITV smash hit drama, Mr Bates v The Post Office, this is Jo Hamilton's extraordinary first-hand account of how she built a Post Office that was at the very heart of her community and lost it all through no fault of her own. For the first time, beyond the headlines and the corridors of the Old Bailey and the UK's political institutions, we will finally hear Jo's full story and the human side of this scandal as well as the untold struggle she faced during the biggest miscarriages of justice in modern history. Ultimately, this is a story of hope and the strength of community and the ability of a few to fight back against the odds.

Forever Forward
Few names in motorsports carry the same authority as McLaren and, although in recent years their performance hadn't living up to the legend, they have now returned to form in a spectacular way under the leadership of Zak Brown.
Going into 2023, Brown's team were the ninth quickest on the grid only to end it as arguably the second fastest, after a dramatic mid-season turnaround. It was only in 2024 that lead driver Lando Norris achieved his first ever Grand Prix win in Miami. The following year he became world champion.
Zak Brown took over a failing team from Ron Dennis in 2018, and his dynamic leadership style has seen astounding results. McLaren are on the rise again, looking to a future that will echo its haloed past, when James Hunt, Alain Prost, Niki Lauda, Ayrton Senna and Lewis Hamilton drove the team into the history books. Here they go again.
The McLaren motto is 'Forever Forward', and their story is all about the underdog taking on the big boys of F1. The author looks back at McLaren's origin story, as their heritage is such a big part of their identity, but his main mission is going behind the scenes to give us the inside track on the team's extraordinary resurgence under Brown, and their thrilling bid for victory.
While You Were Seething
Daisy Emmett has been enemies with famous romance author Caleb Miller since they were in college together, and time hasn't lessened their mutual loathing. So, when she agrees to maneuver him through a PR disaster of his own making, she knows it's not going to be easy. She just doesn't realise how not easy until they somehow end up trapped in the same truck, on an endless road trip from one book tour stop to another, bantering and butting heads along the way.
Then, even more horrifying: people appear to be mistaking her for the woman he dedicates all his books to. The love of his life, his adored beloved-the one who doesn't actually exist. Now they're trapped into pretending she does and that Daisy is her, each fake kiss and phony embrace ratcheting up the tension to the point where enemies suddenly seems a lot closer to lovers than either of them would like.
Or so they're telling themselves.
But sometimes it's hard to be sure, when seething turns into something so much more ...
On Thin Ice
They can't keep skating around their feelings...
When disgraced Hollywood star Luca Vasvault is partnered with drama-averse professional skater Matilda Stevens on Stars on Ice, the pair get off to a less-than-smooth start. Matilda’s dazzling smile and generous spirit immediately set Luca on edge (surely no one can be that nice?) while Luca’s standoffish and brooding behaviour is making Matilda’s job unnecessarily difficult.
Despite their tension behind the scenes, though, there’s no denying their chemistry on the ice. And since Matilda and Luca both need to win for their own reasons, they strike a deal: they’ll work together, playing up their “showmance”, to win the public’s love and better their chances of winning the competition.
After all, they’re both performers for a living. How hard can it be to pretend their feelings are real?
