Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

let's be real: plagiarism scandals in academia happen all the time (not because academics plagiarize a lot, but just because of how many millions of faculty there are around the world) and it is never general-public news unless the culprit is a member of a minority.

I don’t think there’s ever been a clearer example of the British media bullying someone, who was so clearly vulnerable, to death so shamelessly in my lifetime for engagement and clicks And now we’ll have to watch the people that did it claim they’re shocked, and horrified Revolting

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

There are people all across Belfast helping relocate people, get them food, clothes, meds and more. You will likely never hear about them on the news. But they are many. And *they* are Belfast.

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?

This tweet, for a Ross Barkan story that copied my lede and reporting, now has more than 10x the views of the original. Ross hasn't apologized or acknowledged it; maybe he's just waiting for me to shut up. Without any explanation, I'm left to wonder how many times he's done this
There was a time, not very long ago, when Ben Shapiro could reasonably call himself the king of all conservative media. That’s all over now, writes political columnist Ross Barkan. 

Shapiro’s company, ‘The Daily Wire,’ is instituting significant layoffs. Its YouTube channel’s subscriber base is starting to shrink, and its website has emerged as one of the great traffic losers in conservative media. There are ‘Daily Wire’ YouTube videos that now, after a few days online, have less than 10,000 views, a catastrophically small number for a channel with more than 3 million subscribers. The top comments all mock the low view counts.

“If a variety of poor business decisions can be blamed, in part, for the ‘Daily Wire’’s fall from grace — ill-fated investments in feature films, an epic fantasy series, and peculiar merchandise — the greater story is the collapse of Shapiro’s constituency,” writes Barkan. “There are two realities to Shapiro conservatism in 2026: It retains a significant foothold among Republican elites, and it is fast being rejected by the future grassroots of the party.”

Boris Johnson on elites: 2019 2026
Boris Johnson has defended the Duke of
York after he was criticised for spending
time with the paedophile financier Jeffrey
Epstein after his release from prison


"Let me tell you something, I've worked
with Prince Andrew, I've seen the good he
has been able to do for UK business
overseas and other than that I have no
comment,"'the prime minister told ITV
News. "I have no comment, or indeed no
knowledge of this other stuff."Just like the great crash of 2008, a
rock has been lifted to reveal elite

Today I did a presentation for 50 relationship managers at the Arts Council about that often overused and misunderstood phrase, 'youth voice'. (I figured they probably spent too much of their time looking at powerpoint presentations, so I did my slides in felt tip pen instead.)

I was talking to my hairdresser about The Sopranos today. He hasn’t seen it so I asked him do you know what the premise is and then we had a long conversation about a drama series that doesn’t exist called The Premise because it was too awkward to tell him that he’d misunderstood.

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Every course I run, I ask each participant to send me a song that makes them happy. The songs go into a playlist for that course which I play in breaks and at lunch. It’s a small way to make people feel included and happy - two crucial conditions for co-creation.

The death toll of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza is now estimated at 100,000 The list is 1,227 pages long. The first 11 pages are names of babies dead before the age of 6 months. The first 381 pages are all children. archive.is/2025.06.28-0...
On Monday of this week, Hamas' Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip published an updated list of those killed in the war, a 1,227-page chart, arranged from youngest to oldest. The Arabic-language document includes the deceased person's full name, the names of the father and grandfather, date of birth and ID number.
Unlike previous lists, this compilation notes the precise age of children who were under the age of one year when they were killed. Mahmoud al-Maranakh and seven more children died on the same day they were born. Four more children were killed on the day after they entered the world, five others lived to the age of two days. Not until page 11, following 486 names, does the name appear of the first child who was more than six months old when he was killed.

Can't recommend Ned's courses enough. If you're at all interested in working with young people and co-creating - you should defo go for it. Even though I'm not in that world at the moment, I found the course re-invigorated stuff for me in the plain old world of writing theatre and TV. Check it out X

Screenshot of a text in a word processing document, the text highlighted in blue. It reads: and so it came to pass, that the ebbs, flows and traces of their identities, their needs, fears, perspectives, intimacies and heart-songs, their dreams, travel-plans, poems, night-sweats, desires, decisions and images, their secrets, loves, passions, medical traumas, dilemmas, anxieties, stories, hopes and whispered histories, became mere numbers for the opportunist frackers of the human, of value only as a part of the dataset, ripe for abstraction, aggregation and distant monetization, nothing more
