Enormous thanks to ā€˜Mike and Sandra’ who spoke to me for six months on and off about their very personal experience - all to tell the public what government ā€˜reforms’ are doing to disabled people like them. I hope you’ll share their story far and wide. It is sickeningly common.

Spent the last two years on this project to it means a lot to me: The Guardian has looked into its history and has discovered an uncomfortable truth: but it reveals a story of Britain's history being embedded with slavery theguardian.com/news/2023/mar/…

This video, featuring the brilliant David Olusoga, explains everything about the Guardian's investigation into its past: why it matters, and why Britain needs to know the truth about its longlasting connection to slavery and its enduring legacy theguardian.com/news/video/202…

This is so good by Lanre Bakare about Manchester's struggle to acknowledge its Black history. The whole Cotton Capital series, investigating the Guardian's relationship with slavery, is incredibly powerful. Huge credit to Maya Wolfe-Robinson who edited it. theguardian.com/news/ng-intera…

"Love, to me, has always felt painfully exposing; when others have loved me, I have felt undeserving, and somehow looked away. Now, when my son looks at me with all the love in his tiny body, I hold his gaze." What a piece, Laura Barton theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

In recent years, a woman has been killed by a man every 3 days in the UK on average, and yet most of their stories have gone unheard. The The Guardian Killed Women Count project wants to help change that. Huge thanks to CountingDeadWomen for their vital work > theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-int…

It’s that time of year again! The Guardian is opening its two-week work experience for underrepresented journalists: disabled people, POC, and now working class. It is paid at the London living wage. This scheme changed my life. Go on, give it a go: workforus.theguardian.com/entry-level-op…
