Adult social care is one of the hardest, lowest-paid jobs in the country. Governments of both main parties call the system “broken” - yet keep declining to fix it. It’s an underreported topic tied to inflammatory immigration headlines. ⬇️⬇️

This episode is about Jason Arday. Never has a story encapsulated the words ‘media storm’ so well. The episode critically analyses how an accusation of plagiarism made by a man with extremely racist views (though no legacy media outlet described them as such) managed to make so many front pages.

Was good to be part of this discussion yesterday with @joshih.bsky.social, @helenawadia.bsky.social and @mathildamall.bsky.social. What's to blame for the decline in local news? I argue it was the sector's acquisition by large corporations, and the rewiring of priorities that came with that.
