📣🧵 Attention, writers! We're looking for features covering police overreach, housing, immigration, racism, inequality & the environment. Terrible landlords? Send them our way. Home Office scoops? Bring them. Evidence of systemic racism by any part of the system? Haul 'em in.

I'm taking pitches for NME’s Radar section for September onwards. I want acts with strong philosophies/part of a local community (preferably non-London). Even better if you're a writer from said community. If you’re new, send pitches to my email (in bio) with 3 clips.

Several British news sites claimed that Russian-linked fake news “sparked violent protests” in Southport which then spread to other cities In reality, evidence that Russian disinformation sparked the protests is weak thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2024-0…

Yaxley-Lennon claims he has travelled overseas in search of a safe location for his family. He's complaining that the actions of others are now compromising that safety. Someone let Alanis Morissette know we've got a new verse for her...

It’s been a long hard day but it’s the images of desecrated Muslim graves in Burnley that have got me. To my fellow journalists: if you’re not using the words racism or Islamophobia in your reports, you’re not telling the story. And you must ask yourself why that is. Night x

My family in Burnley are heartbroken at desecration of Muslim graves, as we all are. My aunt has said how scared she is and my 12 year old nephew (cousin’s son) has shared his fear about our family being hurt by far-right racists. My cousin says “he’s very scared.” #RaceRiots

If you want a fast track (sorry for the pun) primer on where the UK is now re white supremacy and the far right and how it got here, this is outstanding work by Daniel Trilling.

This 🧵 is also a public service. Is everything you read a disinfo campaign? No. But if it's designed to make you loot a Greggs in memoriam to three murdered schoolgirls, yes.

I wrote something for POLITICO about how Tim Walz is one of the few politicians who looks normal in casualwear. And this is partly why Harris choose him for her campaign. 🧵 politico.com/news/magazine/…

Hi Kim Komando - I've recently received an email with a "proposal request" with "Job #: AR-SHE-230227.08_Sunny_Builders_Corp" as the ref from a colleague. I emailed back. The reply didn't sound like the person who attached to that email address. Can confirm it's a #phishing scam.

A friend told me that Sainsbury's are now selling mince pies. In August. Any other non-British immigrants on here think that they were savoury, meat-filled pies when they first moved to the UK? #micepie #Christmas
