In case you missed: last week's editorial about Britain's remarkable heritage railways theguardian.com/travel/comment…

just catching up: these are good Guardian letters on GCSEs theguardian.com/education/arti…

how is it possible to read a story like this, to know things like this happen in Europe, let alone what is happening in Afghanistan (where oppression & abuse of women IS THE LAW rather than against it) and still hold idea that single-sex spaces & groups including political ones

What both sides agree on in the Letby debate is that it is unusual to have so many failed resuscitations on a neonatal unit in such a short space of time. One side argues that it was murder, the other side argues that the unit simply wasn’t up to the task of coping with so many

Excellent story on ructions in the BMA over Cass report. Sanchez Manning (who is freelance and first covered Tavistock for the Ham & High) is a great reporter telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/09/0…

My first podcast... about 6 things/people that should be better known, and 1 that shd be less well known (i said Judith Butler). I also stuck up for the Tavistock clinic, as key institution in British psychotherapy before GIDS endangered its future Ivan Wise

Uplifting news! 🌳🌳🌳theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

Couldn't be more pleased to be part of this great line-up for Todmorden Book Festival - will be first time speaking in public about my book on feminism outside London, Nov 9th (& an event in Scotland is coming after that) 📙📙📙

V interesting to see Labour announce toughening of water regulation today: welcome in itself but also because a new regulator for construction industry (as recommended by Grenfell inquiry report) is only any use if regulators actually do the job of holding industry to account

If you still don't really believe that women who dared to dissent from radical trans activist claims ("trans women are women"; prisons/ sports shd be mixed-sex etc) have been personally hounded & materially harmed (losing work & incomes) then suggest paying attention to

Many of us lost things that were very important to us. Positions, work even so-called friends. Nevertheless, we persisted.

I'm on this week's Politics Weekly podcast, talking to John Harris about Grenfell - what went wrong, why, what should happen next theguardian.com/politics/audio…
