Husband-bias aside, I am very proud of my wife Grace Hughes-Hallett (creator of the documentary THREE IDENTICAL STRANGERS) for her new Tortoise podcast DANGEROUS MEMORIES which is out today. It's a really extraordinary story. -- open.spotify.com/episode/5UgVVH…

Following on from a The New Yorker piece along the same lines, this careful, considerate examination of the Lucy Letby evidence by felicity lawrence raises serious questions about her guilt and is a really important example of how journalists can and should kick the tires of even the

Spent a few days with some of the last dedicated court reporters in the country, CourtNewsUK at the Old Bailey, watching cases of cocaine smuggled in bananas and gang murders and wondering why so much of this stuff is never known. For The Guardian Long Read theguardian.com/news/article/2…

This is surely it for Biden. Can’t go on like this

Our latest investigative series, Dangerous Memories, is out now. A mind-bending story from the brilliant Grace Hughes-Hallett. Made with top Tortoise team: Imy Harper, Tom Kinsella, Basia Cummings & Ceri Thomas podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/dan…

The Lucy Letby case is fascinating but it seems to me there’s now a new bandwagon proclaiming her innocence. This ⁦Tortoise⁩ pod ep with @aleximostrous cuts through a lot of the noise, esp the stuff about the court of appeal judgement podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/tor…

Finally getting round to listening to Alexi Mostrous' Who Trolled Amber - so fascinating to learn who might have been funding the trolling that I and so many women got as a result for saying anything supportive of her/critical of D**p. Well worth a listen: open.spotify.com/show/13B88jdwe…

Harper Collins Children has announced another new David Walliams book. This time, a murder mystery. Last year for Tortoise I reported on his reputation as a kid's author, his long list of controversies, and the 'headaches' he's caused for his publisher. My email's in my bio.

Whatever one thinks of the tactics of just stop oil, 5 years in prison for planning a non violent protest is a severe attack on our civil liberties. This time it’s people you may not like, you may even disagree with… but these laws impact us all. It might be you next.

Is there any logic in denying sick Gaza children hospital treatment as a reprisal against a Hezbollah rocket attack? None. Distinctly none. jpost.com/breaking-news/…

This really is outrageous

#Breaking: X has filed an antitrust lawsuit against the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM), the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA), and other advertising leaders for what CEO Linda Yaccarino describes as an “illegal boycott” of the company.

Pubgoers embrace Muslims defending their community in Accrington. This is the way forward. Unity. The racist thugs are in the minority.

I’ve been listening to a lot of Slow Newscasts in recent weeks, including the back catalogue, and they are really very good. Wide range of topics/investigations, eg revisiting the CBI crisis, Neil Gaiman, publishing. From ⁦Tortoise⁩ podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…

Full of admiration for Mishal Husain for how she dealt with David Mensa this morning. Outrageous that the Israeli government’s position is to attack journalists rather than answering legitimate questions about alleged human rights abuses in Gaza.

A private insta story with a caption posted by a friend? Talk about a ridiculous fuss over nothing.

#Telegram CEO Pavel Durov now placed under formal investigation after four days in detention.

NEW INVESTIGATION into the murky world of “fappening” sites, which host stolen celebrity nudes. It's a cat-and-mouse story of Leigh Nicol's fight to get images she never wanted online, taken down for good –and the nefarious actors that women like her are up against Link ⬇️

Disappointing and extreme statement by the chief rabbi.
