Watching the game on German TV and the commentator just described Southgate as "more conservative than the Tories" 😭😭😭😭😭

I published this Guardian Opinion article 9 years ago. Le Pen is not moderate. This is a misunderstanding for many far-right politicians. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

This is a fascinating case study of far-right radicalisation. Incredibly, according to her socials, N*na P*wer appears to have visited former concentration camps in Poland with March of the Living UK just last month.

Lovely piece by Jessica Bateman on the German convenience stores, or Spätkaufs, at the heart of #EURO2024. Many date back to the 1960s when they were set up by former “guest workers” from Turkey. Hyphen

When Hyphen asked me to write a #EURO2024 piece, OF COURSE I decided to focus on Spätis – those little stores that are the beating heart of every Berlin neighbourhood, and also my favourite spots for watching the football. Loved working on this!

Who is this “if he hadnt murdered women with a crossbow he would have been a swell guy” commentary for? Yeah Kyle Clifford seemed normal, they always do, even when they’re abusing you. There’s no monster gene - it’s always the average man who harms women, & that’s WHY it’s scary.

Very confusing that the people who have spent the past few years insisting that gender is determined by your genitals, are now insisting that genitals actually have nothing to to do with it?

As an agnostic, I love talking to others about their personal approaches to faith and spirituality. It always stretches my mind in new directions. So I loved profiling German TikTok star Berfin Celebi, aka Kurdische Kween, who is introducing Gen Z to queer Islamic theology

Growing up, religion was a source of tension for trans TikTokker Berfin Celebi. Now she uses her public profile to have frank discussions about family, religion and her journey as a trans person. ✍🏻Jessica Bateman hyphenonline.com/2024/08/05/ger…

Following AfD's victory in east Germany, Austria’s Freedom party — which proposes to ban 'political Islam' and encourage 'remigration' — is polling at 30% ahead of the country's general election on 29 September. Jessica Bateman reports. 📸Reuters hyphenonline.com/2024/09/04/far…

It’s mad that the race riots were so bad across Northern England that many of us were afraid to leave our homes and now we’re supposed to move on like it never happened. No national discussion on the cause behind this.

Things I have seen in the rubble of Israeli air strikes in Lebanon over the past week (a thread). 1/

Last month, the Greek government finally agreed to restore all adoptees' citizenships – something the community had been demanding for years. It can't undo the wrongs of the past, but I'm happy to know my reporting has helped some adoptees feel they are on a path to justice ❤️
