Want to see more use of AI in journalism? Take a look at this Telegraph obituary of Charlotte Raven in 2025, clearly written by ChatGPT, which attributes my book, Living Dolls, to Raven as co-author and misrepresents its thesis. ☹️ www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2...

Absolutely insane that 42% of Americans still approve of Trump.

How incredible: “The full delivery took about 30 minutes. For hours afterward, pairs of whales held the baby above the water until it was able to swim… What struck the researchers was how many mother, sister and daughter whales united to support the new calf, even ones that weren’t related.”

We tracked down the superyacht owned by the world’s sixth richest man. Larry Ellison won’t like what we did to it 🛥️🏴‍☠️

Horrified by the antisemitic attack in our city. Antisemitism is vile and has no place here. Solidarity with the Jewish community in Golders Green - and with our communities across the country who will be feeling this today.

What can one say? It’s impossible to read this and not to be filled with horror and sorrow. What Israel is doing in the West Bank is unspeakable.

The tributes to Jenni Murray are focusing on her interviews with powerful and privileged women. Here at Project Resist we would like to pay tribute to the fact that she always made sure the voices of the most marginalised and vulnerable women were heard. 1/2

Back in 2006, I & some friends wanted to start a new initiative for women crossing borders. We began with a single event, at which refugee women’s stories were told and connections made. We invited all the women we knew who we thought might listen! Jenni Murray sat in the front row and

So sorry to hear that Jenni Murray has died. Such a warm and empathetic radio presence, and just as great in person. I was lucky to be interviewed by her more than once. Much missed.

The article by John Lanchester on intergenerational inequality is super interesting but it gets one thing entirely wrong. On travel in the before times. Nobody spent much time on the phone pre-planning travel. In the days of itemised phone bills and premium rate daytime calls, are you kidding?

Last month I was in Beirut visiting Makani, an organisation that works with refugee women in the UK and Lebanon. I met the most brilliant women at the charity's centre, who have built a great community & also do skilled (& genuinely beautiful) creative work in embroidery and crochet. So I have 1/3

I spoke to BBC reporter Tim Whewell for this programme on Syria’s Kurds and the women’s revolution of North East Syria. Worth a listen, not for me but for the Kurdish women who speak so movingly about their lives transformed- and the threats ahead. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Syrian-born journalist Loubna Mrie speaks to @natashawalter.bsky.social about her raw new memoir, her political awakening, and the power of defiance www.thenerve.news/p/loubna-mri...

I was really glad to speak to Syrian journalist Loubna Mrie for @thenerve.news. Her story is full of pain and loss, but also courage, and yes, Defiance - the title of her new book. www.thenerve.news/p/loubna-mri...

Feminists across the world are paying tribute to Yanar Mohammed, great defender of women’s rights, who was assassinated today in Iraq.

Devastated to learn that the great Yanar Mohammed, founder of the Organization for Women's Freedom in Iraq, was assassinated today by 'unknown' gunmen in Baghdad. Here in her own words:

I see the haters are out in force today talking about sectarianism in the Green Party. Being anti genocide isn’t about sectarianism, it’s the opposite, it’s about recognising our shared humanity.

This is the saddest thing I’ve seen on the internet today. Now ChatGPT has chewed up all the books, parents are abandoning books to ask it to regurgitate bedtime stories. From Mumsnet.

The petition was set up by Savannah, Fiona Holm's daughter. Savannah is unable to lay her mother to rest as Fiona's body has never been found. We need justice and accountability for her, and a radical overhaul of policing. For more on the campaign, go here: www.projectresist.org.uk/doubleinjust...

Justice and accountability for Fiona Holm and Naomi Hunte! Both women were killed by the same violent partner. Both women were African Caribbean. Both women were let down by the police. Both murders were preventable. Sign the petition: www.change.org/p/justice-an...

We've written to the four airlines carrying out deportations under the cruel and inhumane UK-France agreement. They are: Air France, Titan Airways, AlbaStar Airlines & Corenden Airlines. We call on them to end their complicity, now. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Why are people always yelling at The Left, a group almost entirely shut out of public life, including mainstream news outlets. You are mad at people on social media. Get a life

This verdict will get a tiny fraction of the coverage of recent Palestine Action acquittals. But it is also important. Juries are refusing to convict peaceful protesters who want to prevent genocide & climate catastrophe, despite - or because of - growing authoritarianism from government.

Today, we launch a new campaign: Double Injustice. Naomi Hunte and Fiona Holm were killed by the same violent partner. On both occasions, the police knew about risks to their lives but did not take any effective action, and both times the result was the woman’s death. Both deaths were preventable.

NEW: Read this terrific piece @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social for @thenerve.news in which she unpicks Edge.org, the hugely influential 'salon' funded by Epstein & threaded through with race science & eugenics. 1/ www.thenerve.news/p/epstein-bi...

“… my colleagues in the Syrian Women’s Political Movement are holding our General Assembly in Beirut, not Damascus. We requested to meet in Syria, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not grant permission.” — Muzna Dureid’s briefing to the UN Security Council syrianwomenpm.org/events/muzna...

The right result. Congratulations to Huda Ammori and all those who resisted the government on this.

I’ve just been in Lebanon for a week. It’s quite something going from a country where about one in four people is a refugee, back to the UK where about one in a hundred people is a refugee. And yet the level of hysteria here about welcoming such relatively small numbers seems to rise all the time.

Glad to be part of this new editorial board for @newhumanist.bsky.social with so many thoughtful people…

What will happen to women’s rights and freedoms in Syria now? This insightful article unpicks worrying signs of patriarchal repression.

Incredible speech by Rajiv Menon KC in the Palestine Action trial. Such clarity and ferocity! Thank you to @jonathan-cook.bsky.social for this: jonathancook.substack.com/p/barristers...

Vital reporting on women’s struggle in North East Syria by Matt Broomfield in the Telegraph: www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...?

I still find it shocking that Hillary Clinton can go and whitewash the patriarchal authoritarianism of Saudi Arabia. For all her stated commitment to women's rights, that she will take money from the state where women are denied many basic rights. Incredible. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/w...

What one can see of the agreement between Syrian govt & SDF is striking for its commitment to Kurdish rights, formation of new military units- & silence on women's rights. I hope that the women of NE Syria get peace. I hope they don't have to give up too much in return. hawarnews.com/en/text-of-a...

Good to see Princess Kate is braiding her hair. As are thousands of women across the world to show their support for women under threat in Syria. Style or solidarity?

In the chaos and conflict of Syria, it’s vital that Yazidi voices are heard. Memories of genocide are fresh and fears of the future are real. Thanks @jessiewill.bsky.social for this report www.thenewhumanitarian.org/news-feature...

With the Syrian govt advancing into northeast Syria over the last few weeks, taking control of swathes of Kurdish-held territory, I spoke to people from 2 minority groups – Yazidis and Kurds – who are fearful of the future. For @newhumanitarian.bsky.social www.thenewhumanitarian.org/news-feature...

Holocaust Memorial Day is personally important to me. Today, as always, I return to the memory of those in my family who were killed, forced to flee, tortured in those dark years. Sometimes I now feel this work of memory has been tainted by those who want to use those stories to obscure

Absolutely insane that only 61 percent of Americans think ICE has gone too far. There’s a history book in the making called ‘Trump’s willing executioners’.

Such a wild metaphor for the role of the royal family in Britain. www.channel4.com/news/reveale...

When the American people are so bravely resisting authoritarianism, what position is the British right taking up? They are siding with the state against the protesters, with the killers against the protectors. Below, Melanie Phillips in the Times.

Women are braiding their hair in solidarity with the Kurdish women facing up to oppression in Syria. Not a beauty trend. But very beautiful. www.instagram.com/reel/DT04ikD...

The revolutionary women of Rojava are in grave danger. That has consequences for us all | Natasha Walter

The threat to Rojava is grave and resonates beyond Syria. This is where the phrase Woman Life Freedom was first used. This cannot be where it dies. I write for the Guardian about why we should all be standing by the women in NE Syria in these desperate times. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
