Events in Dover earlier this month were viewed as an alarming escalation in far right intimidation in the UK. For women's groups, whose cause many of those men claim to champion, such menacing tactics have become a part of everyday life. New by @everebecca.bsky.social for @tbij.bsky.social

Still a few last freelance pieces publishing from before my new job & really pleased this is one of them. For @tbij.bsky.social I dug into far-right claims to “protect women” - and found women’s orgs across the country disrupted & intimidated by them: www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...

Tech abuse is on the rise in the UK - including in the most extreme cases For @theobserveruk.bsky.social Petra Matijevic and I dug into domestic homicide data & found tech abuse in 40% of cases - but too often it wasn't taken seriously, responded to properly, or recognised as a risk before death 👇
