Introducing Policy in Focus, my new weekly deep-dive on the issues shaping our country.

This week: the BBC.

I’ve got a lot more to say than fits into a media clip, so I’m taking the conversation to Substack.

Watch the first episode now.

It’s #WhiteRibbonDay and this year the focus is digital violence.

I face a lot of online abuse and I know how often it can spill into real life.

If you see sexism, misogyny or racism online, call it out.

16 days of activism starts now.

Great to speak at the @coopparty.party.coop conference with @paulsweeney.bsky.social and Victoria Desmond about mental health and why we must reject politics that pits people against each other.

A fair society means standing together, not stepping on others to get ahead!
