Tragic but important that our research on bullying & harassment was the most read opinion piece of the year - so much more work to do here with my brilliant colleagues Melissa Nisbett @EmmaMcDoofus and we’re committed to doing it

If you really want change we need a mass peaceful uprising against billionaire media ownership. This is the reason Starmer has to shift to the right to be elected. This is the reason the public think protesters are worse than climate change. This is the reason the BBC must do

If you care about your children or your future or don't understand the whole 'climate change thing', it is vital that you watch this BBC/PBS documentary. I'd gamble that the vast majority of the media are unaware of the information in this series - which is a disgrace.

As a lifelong Labour voter, I'll be voting @E17Green in Walthamstow. The reason? Labour's stance on Gaza; lack of bold vision/leadership on climate; no comprehensive plan to invest in public services; and expelling progressive candidates like Faiza Shaheen cc. stellacreasy

Oh and Labour's stance on immigration. stellacreasy, with all of your great work with child refugees in Calais, are you comfortable with the idea of a 'Border Security Command' and Starmer's 'send them back' rhetoric?

🌱 I've never heard so many people saying they're voting Green in Sheffield for a general election 📈 I've never seen projections place Greens so high in #Sheffield Central! 🗳️ Together we can elect the amazing Angela Argenzio as the first Green MP in the North! #GetGreensElected

So Keir Starmer wrote an op-ed for Attitude Magazine - but in light of events since it landed in our inbox I felt it couldn’t run without context or qualification. It’s not all bad, but he has to know that leaving our trans family behind is not an option. attitude.co.uk/news/keir-star…

In one of your interactive Q&A sessions on Instagram, we tried to engage you on the climate crisis but instead you answered someone else's question about the Spice Girls. Says it all. Please don't pretend you've shown climate leadership the day before the election.

The ability to peacefully protest is integral to a healthy democracy. The sentencing of the #WholeTruthFive marks an acceleration in Britain's democratic decline. I have signed this letter calling for a meeting with the Attorney General to discuss their case.

Really striking stellacreasy voted with the Labour Party against removing two child benefit cap. At the election in Walthamstow, Labour went down 16% and The Green Party went up 16%. There's 40 places where Greens are in 2nd place to Labour & we'll see you at the ballot box.

Non-disclosure agreements, gag orders, payouts and sudden departures. This aligns with findings from Melissa Nisbett Ben Walmsley and @EmmaMcDoofus, and my upcoming research - it is definitely time to examine culture in Australia's arts organisations. smh.com.au/culture/music/…

The new UK Soft Power Council has been set up in response to a volatile world at a time when democracy is in peril. So thinks Melissa Nisbett thinks it would be a strange decision to allow the British Council to die. buff.ly/3CYOUHZ

Excellent article in Arts Professional on #softpower by Melissa Nisbett of King's College London noting its centrality to UK foreign policy, while also underlining that "a British Council in retreat is a blow to the UK." artsprofessional.co.uk/magazine/featu…
