    Huge news. And the Times too! Not sure why I have always hated honorifics - something about the annoying patriarchal classification of women as Mrs or Miss

    A deeply concerning story. Freelance photographer arrested for taking photographs at a protest & given restrictive bail conditions which undermine his ability to do his job. Reminded of a case I acted in 5 years ago, against Russia. Serious issues. 1/

    It's just gone live - my investigation on . First podcast episode is now available to listen: the story of Katie Wilding, and her mum, Julie.

    In the UK we are told a woman is killed every two days by a partner or an ex. But the reality is: that number is higher than we know. Hidden Homicides, an investigation by ⁦⁩, illuminates domestic abuse deaths being missed by police.

    "The idea of imposing value in housing estates to make them more than scenes of bare life if considered a kind of sin. It’s the ultimate capitalism mentality: that poor people mustn’t be spoiled. My view is precisely the opposite."
