Tony is facing eviction instead of enjoying retirement; Limarra isn't 'homeless enough' to get help from the council; and for Kelly and her asthmatic son Morgan, another new rented house is a matter of life and death. This is twenty-first century Britain, where millions are trying to build lives in privately rented accommodation, which creates profit for landlords but not safe and stable homes for tenants.

With the decline in social housing, and the disparity between the inflation of house prices and the inflation of wages, it’s no wonder the UK is facing the direst of housing crises. In this powerful and timely new book, the @theipaper’s housing correspondent Vicky Spratt explores the urgent story of this country’s biggest emergency, as told through the lives of those it most affects.

#Tenants is out now.

'I am so grateful for this beautiful, honest book. It has helped me immeasurably' – Pandora Sykes

Tomorrow, we publish the paperback of best-selling author Emma Jane Unsworth’s raw and relatable memoir #AfterTheStorm.

Six months after the birth of her son, Emma Jane Unsworth finds herself in the eye of a storm. Nothing – from pregnancy to birth and beyond – has gone as she expected. A birth plan? It might as well have been a rough draft! Furious and exhausted, her life is the complete opposite of what it used to be. How did she end up here?

In this brave, vital account of postnatal depression, Emma tells her story of despair and recovery. She tackles the biggest taboos around motherhood and mental health, from botched stitches and bleeding nipples to anger and shame. How does pregnancy adapt our brains? Is postnatal depression a natural reaction to the trauma of modern motherhood? And are people's attitudes finally changing?

After the Storm is a celebration of survival, holding out a hand to women everywhere.

4 March. HMQ pictured in the paper at an investiture wearing gloves, presumably as a precaution against Coronavirus. But not just gloves; these are almost gauntlets. I hope they're not the thin end of a precautionary wedge lest Her Majesty end up swathed in protective get-up such as is worn at the average crime scene.

The new Alan Bennett diaries are almost here!

In House Arrest, beloved author and playwright Alan Bennett takes us from the filming of Talking Heads to thoughts on Boris Johnson, from his father's short-lived craze for family fishing trips, to stair lifts, junk shops of old, having a haircut, and encounters on the local park bench. A lyrical afterword describes the journey home to Yorkshire from King's Cross station via fish and chips on Quebec Street, past childhood landmarks of Leeds, through Coniston Cold, over the infant River Aire, and on.

Out on 5th May.
