Clear the bookshelves! Lucy Connolly, the childminder jailed for a racist X post who has since emerged as a Reform-backed free speech heroine, is publishing her memoirs!
Connolly, sentenced to 31 months in the big house for reacting to the horrific murders of three young children in Southport by writing “set fire to all the fucking hotels full of the bastards for all I care”, is publishing A Tweet Too Far?, her life story from being a Tory councillor’s wife to the toast of Reform conferences.
The blurb for the book, which is being self-published, reads like it’s been written by a particularly unsophisticated AI, setting out how “Lucy’s story started out as a compounded tragedy, but she has emerged as an increasingly popular prison reform and free-speech campaigner.”
It tells of how her incendiary X post was “harvested by the far left and their activists within the MSM, who went on to propagate it”.
“Is our judiciary honest and independent?” asks the book blurb. “Do we really have a two-tier justice system in the UK? These questions are forensically analysed for you to make up your own judgement as Lucy relays her chilling experience within an increasingly dystopian society.

“This is the story of a quiet, unassuming wife and mum forced to navigate the menagerie that is life behind bars. All this whilst being the constant target of legal shenanigans by the very people who are charged with administering our justice system.” Truly a Long Walk To Freedom for our times!
Interestingly, the book is ghost-written by somebody with the unlikely name of Gen Nevis, somebody who appears never to have written a book, or indeed anything, before. Who could be hiding behind the nom de plume? It’s not clear – although the quotes above are curiously redolent of Allison Pearson, the Daily Telegraph columnist and friend of Connelly’s who introduced her at last year’s Reform conference as “Britain’s favourite political prisoner”.
If you can’t wait, the book, due to be published on July 1, is available to pre-order for £3.99 for Kindle on Amazon – where it’s listed in the, er, True Crime section.
