I had plenty of questions and pushback after my investigation into sexual assaults of Palestinians by Israelis. Here are our answers. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/o...

Following a global outcry she and her fellow activists have now arrived safely in Istanbul, severely bruised but unbowed. She will be telling her story @JLFLitfest London at 15.00 on Saturday, 6th June.

Massive call out to my brave, beautiful & fearless friend Noa Avishag Schnall @NoaAvishag of the @gbsumudflotilla who yesterday had the courage to shout at Ben Gvir to his face that he was a "genocidal maniac," after which she was assaulted & beaten up by his henchmen.

Such an important image to remember. Those who moved from Labour to Green are ignored as Labour courts those who moved to Reform. But we are many, they are few.

🔴EXCLUSIVE🔴 Analysis of Reform, far right and Reform supporting X accounts by me & @fullerproject.org found a 40% increase in mentions of abortion over 4 years, with language becoming more extreme, and accounts sharing US-influenced disinformation www.opendemocracy.net/aabortion-re...

Very good, necessary defence of Misan Harriman by @afuahirsch.bsky.social today. The rise of the far right is not just seen on the streets and in politics, but also through our culture & media, we cannot let it go unchallenged. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I spoke to Liz Jensen at Writers Rebel for this interview on my new book Feminism for a World on Fire, focusing on why the climate crisis is a crisis for women, and how that understanding can break us or move us into renewed resistance. writersrebel.com/feminism-for...

Today @fullerproject.org is running a timely extract from my book Feminism for a World on Fire, focusing on the rise of the far right and how women are becoming more divided. Read here: www.fullerproject.org/editions/far...

I see Sajid Javid's 'national conversation' is to be made up of people recording voice notes for AI to listen to. That's the opposite of conversation: conversation is real people listening to one another, not robots listening to disembodied voices.

These are the top ten novels I gave to the Guardian top 100. Much loved, well thumbed. Though as someone else said, it would have been easier to pick a top 100!

Interesting article by @jburnmurdoch.ft.com linking phone use to falling birth rates strangely mentions only the effects that phones have on reducing socialising & raising women's expectations - completely ignores the massive effect of spreading misogyny & p0rn among men. www.ft.com/content/fba3...

Marching in London today and carrying with me the memory of family members killed by hate. Still believe that hope and love can prevail…

Oh, Middlemarch. The novel that is so wise, so capacious, so humane, so English, so moral, and so dull.

All credit to Nick Kristof for such impact — including furious reaction from Netanyahu, obvious compliment — but/and yes remarkable that a story can be seen as “untold” even when B’Tselem, Emma Graham-Harrison and others have told it so powerfully before

@nickkristof.bsky.social's excellent reporting on sexual violence by Israeli soldiers, settlers, prison guards is rightly driving outrage. And let's not forget that Emma Graham-Harrison at the Guardian has also been reporting on this over many months: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Great to see that the event I'm doing at @bookhaus.bsky.social with @sianushka.bsky.social supported by @thenerve.news in Bristol next Tuesday is now sold out! Still some - not many - tickets left for this event at the Brighton Festival next Thursday. brightonfestival.org/whats-on/XcZ...

I am still buzzing from a beautiful event last night with Aja Barber and Carole Cadwalladr for my new book Feminism for a World on Fire. Meeting people in person, sharing our anger & also our hope, talking about revolutions & connections… gives you back the energy that our online lives suck away…

I had so much fun - though it did also feel impossible - choosing my top ten novels for the Guardian. My picks have only been partially revealed, but what do people think so far…? www.theguardian.com/books/ng-int...

I am so surprised that people aren’t talking more about Jess Phillips’ resignation letter and Keir delaying legislation on child exploitation… so I made a video about it.

The right result. But this attempt to criminalise a barrister for stating the law remains so shocking. www.theguardian.com/law/2026/may...

This Wednesday 13 May at @conwayhall.bsky.social I’m speaking with @ajabarber.bsky.social and @carolecadwalla.bsky.social about patriarchy, misogyny and how we resist. It’s going to be 🔥🔥 Book here: www.conwayhall.org.uk/whats-on/eve...

More women at the top isn't going to be good enough. The feminism movement must strive to change the system, not just women's place within it. For the full episode with @natashawalter.bsky.social, whose latest book 'Feminism for a World on Fire' hit shelves last week, go to: lnkd.in/dQu_yXg3

Late to this (busy week!) but honestly the Telegraph’s attempt to smear or cancel or troll (or whatever we are calling it now) Misan Harriman is sickening. I’m Jewish, & I hate the way that powerful interests are stirring hate in the name of trying to protect Jews. Solidarity with Misan here.

Now ordered, copies should be with us middle of next week if you'd like one

At least thanks to Stock’s regressive nonsense I now know Natasha’s book is out! (I know I’m a bit late, but congrats Natasha!) Definitely one for the to-read pile 😊

Welp, this post (and thus I suppose the review) just prompted me to buy a copy.

Kathleen Stock’s review of my new book, Feminism for a World on Fire, is headlined ‘Angry young women make bad feminists’. No. Angry women of all ages make great feminists. We are right to be furious with the status quo and determined to create change. 🔥

Aha, I've just read a nasty review of my new book, Feminism for a World on Fire. Kathleen Stock takes umbrage at my argument that feminists should be 'pro-immigration'. Yes, I do believe that if you call yourself a feminist but you are prepared to strip refugee and migrant women of their rights

I wrote for @thenerve.news about the Met Gala. It's become an ugly spectacle, and its ugliness is not aesthetic but economic. We need a feminism that isn't afraid to talk about the gross inequality & waste that is warping our world, & seeks revolutionary change. www.thenerve.news/p/natasha-wa...

I wrote for @theobserveruk.bsky.social about the women who suffer when bombs fall,& why we need a feminism founded on connection rather than individualism. In this world on fire, we need feminism more than ever - a feminism that goes beyond individual empowerment. observer.co.uk/style/featur...

I have just started to read Feminism for a World on Fire by @natashawalter.bsky.social Just wanted to share this

🎙️ "The Eco-Crisis is a Feminist Crisis" | Natasha Walter www.planetcritical.com/natasha-walt...

Natasha Walter on eco-feminism in a world on fire Congratulations @natashawalter.bsky.social on the publication of your vital new book! Looking forward to celebrating it tomorrow! 👍🏽🍃 Great interview in today’s @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Join us next week for Feminism for a World on Fire with writer and activist Natasha Walter, as look at the challenges faced by women today. We also wanted to highlight some of the many key figures from the suffrage movement that have graced our stage in the past. 🎫 https://bit.ly/4d2sxzu

Important book by @natashawalter.bsky.social “All the threats that women face seem to be amplified by climate change… when resources are scarce, women might have less access, so, if there’s food scarcity, women and girls go hungry more than men & boys.” #booksky www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

It is absolutely terrifying that a barrister is now facing an accusation of contempt of court for stating the law. This is where we are right now in terms of our freedoms in the UK. Rajiv Menon’s powerful and brilliant speech is on my second post. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

'For Brighton audiences interested in politics, ideas and contemporary feminist debate, this looks set to be one of the festival’s standout conversations.' Thank you @nicolabenge.bsky.social for this great write up of our forthcoming event. www.brightonandhovenews.org/2026/05/04/b...

I left Twitter/X because of the torrents of abuse, including antisemitic abuse. I've been on a few Palestine solidarity marches and I didn't experience any abuse at all, even when carrying a sign that mentions I'm Jewish. Remind me where antisemitism is breeding.

I do think it sums up “the weird way the Internet shapes politics unnoticed” that “some chants that people should knock off but are mostly an ignorable part of an in-person march” are given more explanatory power than “the website that is full of antisemitism of every stripe that MPs hang out on”.

My Jewish grandparents lived in Golders Green most of their lives, after fleeing persecution they found it a place of safety and community. Heartbroken to see how unsafe it has now become for Jewish people.

It's out in 8 days... It's great to hear responses now coming in from some early readers. Thanks to @nic-v.bsky.social for this response below. You can buy it here: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/femi...

This case highlights the extreme inequality of the law and its enforcement. "Property" rights - in a lobster - pursued all the way to a police raid & strip searches. But we can do whatever the hell we want to marine wildlife. Take one step back and it all looks mad. theecologist.org/2026/apr/28/...

Very moving interview with Eyal Weizman today in the Observer. Weizman documents war crimes so meticulously, and has such a clear vision of the scale of the destruction perpetrated by Israel. You may think you know all of this, but it's still powerful to read... archive.ph/QmR8J

This is such a morally bankrupt idea. I cannot believe that Shabana Mahmood is prepared to send people back to a country that maintains such vicious gender apartheid. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

An expert opinion that the scam reported by the BBC wouldn’t work, and so was a scam on applicants not the system, seems like important context

I’ve been hearing so much anger and disappointment from frontline workers about the BBC investigation into fraudulent asylum claims. One of the most damning responses has come from one of the experts they interviewed, solicitor Ana Gonzalez. It’s really worth reading her response in full:

So good to see men talking about this. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Guardian has this really important investigation today. But its framing gets one thing wrong. This is not about 'children', this is about girls. It's vital that we name this, or we can't fight it. The culture that turns kids into objects is the patriarchy. www.theguardian.com/technology/n...

The Backlash is back! With reads on progressive women, Louis Theroux (kind of), the media’s blind eye, women voters in India & UK maternal deaths. And links to great stuff by @emilylawford.bsky.social @natashawalter.bsky.social @drpragyaagarwal.bsky.social thebacklash.substack.com/p/understand...

1st class episode of BBCRadio4 #bbcstw — examining the turbulence of the current era & identifying both the destructive & the dynamic in patterns of global change. @tds153.bsky.social talks to @johnkampfner.bsky.social, Nicolas Niarchos, @natashawalter.bsky.social. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
