James owns one of the best Italian restaurants in London. He hosted a dinner last year to raise funds for my charity @lumos's work in Ukraine, for which he's been targeted by trans activists ever since.
The next bit's for Strike fans (see below the line)
@ilporticolondon features in the next Strike novel, #TheRunningGrave (James didn't know this; it was supposed to be a surprise, but hey ho).
Tweet me your most entertaining (or accurate, or insightful, or amusingly bonkers) predictions for what happens in #TheRunningGrave and I'll buy the author of the winning tweet dinner at @ilportico for themselves and three guests. I'll also pay for your travel if you're outside London. And you're allowed to buy all the most expensive stuff, including champagne (even though Strike doesn't like it.)
Let the games begin. Deadline will be 10pm UK time.
