The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

This week's newsletter is on why the 'Island of Strangers' phrase was damaging, even if you broadly support the measures in the Immigration White Paper.

And how communication is not just a string of sentences, but a way we cohere, as a society and as a political project.
On language, immigration and cohesion
Language matters. Cohesion matters. Language that obscures is incoherent.
