I definitely ruined it by speaking up about misogyny, ableism, management sycophancy and sexual harassment.

If only I had just kept my goddamn mouth shut and let the men keep on doing whatever they wanted. What a spoilsport.

Our latest #AI in #Education interview is now up on YouTube.

This time we chat about issues of critical education with Dr Cristina Costa, Associate Professor (Digital futures and education) at Durham University.

I’m watching and it’s astounding. We all knew something like this was going on - but the extent of it! While so many were suffering, dying, sunk into loneliness - a few were absolutely RAKING IT IN. The COVID health crisis was a very, very lucrative opportunity for some.
🚨Our upcoming documentary on the VIP Lane made the ITV news this evening.

“Waste of taxpayers' money': Whistleblower says billions wasted on unfit PPE during Covid pandemic”.

🎥Tune in to ITV Sunday 10.15pm to watch the rest of “The Covid Contracts”
