As parts of #Europe, including #France, face a third blistering #heatwave in less than five weeks, it feels like the right time to reshare this conversation. A few weeks ago, we spoke with UK author & #feminist @natashawalter.bsky.social on how the #ClimateCrisis disproportionately impacts #women.

Great to see Livia Giuggioli (@liviafirth) talking about Feminism for a World on Fire on instagram today. More and more women are making connections between feminism and environmentalism now. The challenges are so massive but this shift in awareness is exciting. Thanks Livia!

The historical illiteracy of this quote… open the schools and get the judiciary in them!

I find it extraordinary and truly infuriating that the judges could say this. How can radical histories be so completely misunderstood, generation after generation, even by - or especially by - those in positions of power?

Court of Appeal judges here demonstrate complete ignorance of the reality of the suffrage movement. Far from operating transparently the militant suffragettes covertly ran destructive arson and bombing campaigns that harmed both property and people. Learn some history before quoting it fgs.

So delighted to see Tahmima Aman in the Guardian recommending Feminism for a World on Fire 🔥

This isn’t only about Palestine Action. The injustice of sentencing protesters as terrorists is part of a dangerous slide towards authoritarianism that should concern all of us.

“Why aren’t more people alarmed by this extreme erosion of the right to protest and what it means for our country?”: @natashawalter.bsky.social on Labour’s repression of protest www.thenerve.news/p/natasha-wa...

Natasha Walter: if a far-right government was treating protesters like Labour is, there would be outrage www.thenerve.news/p/natasha-wa...

In The 51 Percent, we examine how #climatechange is affecting the lives of #women as extreme weather events continues to impact communities worldwide. I speak to UK author @natashawalter.bsky.social who argues mainstream #feminism has largely overlooked the impact of #climatecrisis on women

Oh my god, Marjane Satrapi. I go back in my mind to meeting her in Paris more than 20 years ago, how brilliant she was and how intensely, searingly honest.

🎉 Under 5 weeks till Britain’s biggest left wing festival: Marxism 2026 🎉 Mothin Ali, Louisa Munch, Ahmed Alanouq and Natasha Walter join a terrific line up of speakers. Hundreds of sessions on Marxist theory and how to change the world! Thurs 2 to Sun 5 July London Tickets: buff.ly/DrlCs9f

In just over a week I'm going to be in Leeds, discussing feminism, patriarchy and how to build a flourishing future for women and the planet, with @trumanbooks.bsky.social The conversations so far around my new book have been 🔥🔥🔥 Do come, do share, do join us! trumanbooks.co.uk/event/an-eve...

Yet another example of a polling agency actively participating in spreading an actual, serious and consequential lie to the public. Fossil fuels are more expensive. Clean energy is cheaper. @yougov.co.uk is very literally lying in this poll, and there should be actual consequences for this

It’s a stupidly high bar but I believe this to be Craig Brown’s finest work

this is not true, and this guy doesn't speak for me! nymag.com/intelligence...

Just remembering today to register the new book, Feminism for a World on Fire, for the Public Lending Rights scheme. Please do order this book at your local library if you want to get reading but are finding the price rather steep. Libraries are brilliant, we should all be using them!

BREAKING A NEW report that examines the rise of Political Prisoners in Britain has now been published in full. “It is a wake up call to the authorities to change course and pursue a more proportionate response.” 🧵 for details

As heat rises, threats to women rise. Feminism can’t just seek women’s success in a system that’s destroying the planet. Environmentalism without feminism is the patriarchy in a forest. Feminism without environmentalism is a women’s centre on a dead planet. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

@rachelshabi.bsky.social is always the voice we need to listen to on antisemitism 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

The greener the county, the fewer shootings… Wouldn’t it be great to see @greenparty.org.uk taking on these ideas! With so many new Green councillors, the time is ripe. reasonstobecheerful.world/greening-aba...

Reporting the news is not blood libel. Investigating the crimes of Israel is not antisemitic. I am sick of seeing the real fears of Jews being used to try to silence journalists. This article is shocking.

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
