This is disability visibility. Mamdani listened. He didn’t pander or talk over the disabled journalist. He acknowledged his concerns and gave real responses about how he plans to fix them. 1 in 4 Americans has a disability, it’s a huge number of voters. Don’t ignore us!

Finnur Dellsén got a nice pic of me on my standard Q&A slide, so now I have a stock reply to any time anyone disagrees with me.

A reminder for everyone to ask their MP to go to this. Politicians must know the facts on the threat & solutions. And crucially, they need to have been publicly seen to have been informed, so they can't say they didn't know.

Alt read - Labour has already handed Reform the keys to UK data, so Yusuf knows they don't need to bother with DOGEing councils. Labour's Data Bill has legalised US DOGE-style seizures of mountains of personal data on UK residents. Farage is already gloating about it. A 🧵 on an overlooked threat

Yes, mostly… but can left/progressive media not join in w “man on national platform being silenced” trope? Derbyshire wasn’t “horrified”, she didn’t even respond. This kind of spin delegitimises a good argument. Write about the Peston clip where he’s cut off! bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/10/23/t...

The Express printing positive articles about @zackpolanski.bsky.social wasn't on my bingo card... www.express.co.uk/news/politic... What's next? The Daily Mail saying we have too much inequality?!

£10k crowdfunder launched to support Arab women journalists' mental health: The Marie Colvin Journalists' Network wants to provide mentorship, trauma counselling and professional development for women in the Middle East and North Africa, as global funding for media faces intense cutbacks

Experts feared it would take 193 years to reduce London's deadly levels of NO₂ air pollution to legal levels. This week Mayor Sadiq Khan announced his team had defied the howls of pro-fossil fuel and motoring lobbyists to achieve the life-saving target in just 9 YEARS. Here's how they did it 🧵

One of the most important #dataviz investigations to come out recently from @porcelinad.bsky.social*** & team @theguardian.com ***Who, by the way, published same week she also published our collaborative data investigation, #GreenToGrey. Much sleep deserved. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

🟢 We’ve described Green to Grey as a ‘first of its kind’ data investigation. That’s a big claim – so, let us explain what we mean. The data methodology process for measuring nature loss across Europe is fascinating — but complex, and most of us are not data specialists! 🧵👇 [1/3]

I’m beginning to think it is bad that some of the world’s the worst people control our entire media infrastructure.

Our paper on clusters of schools across the UK is out. We find five clusters: multi-racial & super-diverse middle & working-class schools of towns & cities, suburban white middle class schools, established elite schools & (post-)industrial white working class schools. doi.org/10.1002/berj...

💚 #GreenToGrey has got to be the biggest project I've worked on, not only geographically, but in level of revelation, clarity and potential impact. So you know it's got a good behind the scenes story... My piece on how @journalismarena.eu makes this happen: journalismarena.eu/arenas-green...

Arena's major new investigation spans 11 countries, 10 months and millions of m² to reveal the scale of nature and cropland loss across Europe for the first time 👇 💚 This is the largest scale project I've worked on. Find out how to get involved (you can!) at the 'About' page: greentogrey.eu

🚨 NEW: By the end of this video, Europe will have lost 2850m² of land to construction. That’s almost half a Premier League football pitch. This rate of loss, amounting to 600 football pitches a day, is 1.5 times higher than official EEA estimates. This is the #GreenToGrey project. [1/3]

Is this The Onion?

It’s easy to despair when Tommy Robinson and 100,000 far-right marchers fill London + Reform is surging in the polls. But the UK — and other countries — have stopped the far right in its tracks in the recent past. Here’s how 🧵

Karl Popper was the greatest philosopher of the 20th century. Jewish by birth, he fled the N*zis in 1937. What does his Paradox of Tolerance tell us about "Tommy Robinson" and those who marched with him in London on Saturday? 🧵

When speaking to Tommy Robinson at the far right demonstration in London today, Elon Musk wore a t-shirt saying "What would Orwell think?" So let's dive in - what would George Orwell think about Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk? 🧵

(1/2) This ep about far-right violence in #Bristol is great at examining government’s, social media and mainstream media’s role in the breakdown of narratives around #immigration (and the narratives they’re a cover for): soundcloud.com/bcfmradio/we...

This tracks with what we found in Bristol a few years back - see this geo-specific example from Billy Stockwell about how #heatwaves affect those in high rises, particularly looking at eg Easton and Lawrence Hill: thebristolcable.org/2022/08/is-b... #ClimateEmergency

Trump. Putin. Carney. Støre. bin Salman. Every leader of a petrostate is a murderous lying scumbag - except perhaps for one.

Striking chart in new Economist. Just look at lung cancer's mortality rate rise then fall Corresponds almost exactly with the lobbying efforts by Big Tobacco to undermine efforts to limit their product's deadly impact - followed by when their influence waned. Now need same for fossil fuels

At our demonstration today, I'm holding a placard stating "I support Palestine. Action must be taken." My aim is to highlight the absurdity of the government dictating what can and cannot be said by peace-seeking people

At some point you’ve gotta lean into this branding. It’s making this site seem rad as hell.
