There’s something ridiculous about Brits who move to Spain or Australia and proudly call themselves expats, but in the same breath label people of colour in the UK as ‘foreigners’ or ‘migrants’.
Living in another country makes you the migrant. The double standards are wild

Why are the media trying to paint this man as some kind of pillar of the community who just made an error? He was behind the wheel under the influence of drugs.
Why not tell us about the families, the prospects, the careers of the 79 people he mowed down - including 4 children.

Hyped to finally be able to share that I'll be speaking at Glastonbury 2025 as part of the Left Field lineup! I’ll be on the panel “What Next for the Left: Politics, Organising and Power” with the brilliant Ash Sarkar, Gary Younge, Harriet Protheroe-Soltani, and Ayeisha Thomas-Smith. Let's go ✊🏾

Joey Barton convicted of assaulting his wife. Laurence Fox charged over an upskirting image. Can we finally talk about the misogyny-to-far-right pipeline?

When you’ve been stalked and sexually harassed by another woman for the best part of FIVE years and now you’re about to speak. And now can show journalists not to get news stories from the Twitter feeds of stupid people and fantasists. And then the booker from Newsnight gets fired 😂

I won’t stay silent about SA—for my health, my power, and to challenge those who want survivors to be silent. Here in Merseyside, VWAG is silently k*lling more women than anywhere else. How do we empower and support survivors?

In a digital age, police warnings alone may not be enough. Platforms like X need to take greater responsibility for monitoring and removing posts too.

1/2 I'd argue that Santa's unofficial helpers are the postal workers and delivery drivers who'll be out all day delivering cards and parcels today, so everything runs smoothly for the big day tomorrow. We've already seen a driver out in his santa suit - the youngest was made up!

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”
