James Schneider on #GMB: "I think you're viewers are quite right, money can always be found for war and weapons when we're told there's no money for things which are going to make life easier for us and our families and our communities"

This exponentially escalating martial rhetoric is worrying, but all the more so because there seem to be no voices refuting or proposing an alternative to this talk of rearmament/defence/security (we all know what that really means)

Earlier today the government announced a cut to the UK aid budget to fund an increase in defence spending. 12 years ago, we released this video to show how aid protects children in the toughest situations. Now, the message is more important than ever.

Leaving my decade-long career in journalism wasn't an easy decision but if there is one thing I am not missing is having to inescapably learn about a smorgasbord of depressing events across the globe - and watch accompanying footage Especially grateful for this small mercy over the last few days

Recently got a new laptop and transferred everything automatically, not paying much attention as I needed to get to work ASAP. Now, every so often, I get these "memories" of past work ✨ This picture was taken during the occupation of Tahrir Square, Cairo, January 2011
