This is heartbreaking. Among so many heartbreaking stories. We can’t become numb to this.
"There is a sadness inside that will never leave." I met families impacted by the violence that goes with the occupation of the West Bank.
There's a lot of pretty horrific stuff going on in the world today. But I think these stories need to be told.

The cabinet is currently being reshuffled but more consequentially, the government is failing its promise to deliver a green industrial future at the cost of tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs. You can read my London Review of Books article on the recent closure of Grangemouth oil refinery ⬇️

Grangemouth’s closure had been seen as “a litmus test” of the “just transition”. But the consensus is that this test has been completely failed.
Almost six months after closure, I went to hear from the refinery's workers. Pics by Angela Catlin.
