America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism.
This was a hard piece to write but we can't move forward if we don’t acknowledge where we are.

I wrote something about free speech.
It draws on my last couple of years field-working coproduction and other ways of integrating lived experience into policy. I've learnt a lot about listening, and I think others could too, especially free speech warriors.

What an incredible piece from Patrick Fealey, an award-winning journalist and writer, who became homeless last year. I often think about how wide the gaps are in Britain's social security net compared with Germany's. But America is truly in a different league.
