Interested in fundraising, feminism, climate justice, social change and every now and then quite silly stories about the world we live in.

Read Umyra Ahmed’s op-ed reflecting on #HRC59: how gender & sexuality are weaponized as political pawns while asking what solidarity-based feminist advocacy means when multilateral human rights systems lack credibility.

Reimagining digital infrastructure as truly public means moving beyond measuring success through metrics of access and volume and engaging citizens as meaningful rights-holders in the digital ecosystem.

@premnsikka Agree!

They're gathered from across civil society in the UK and other countries.

@premnsikka Always tax breaks, isn't it.

The answer of the executive class to every problem seems to be: you should all make do with less money so we can have more.

[Critical Takes on Corporate Power @DiarmidOS]

So, what should we do about corporate power?

How to fit many ideas from civil society into a single agenda:

@prformativcontr I don't know how many people are aware that the UK raised more than £800 billion in tax revenue last year.

There were plenty of ways to raise a few billion pounds more for the military, without cutting the aid budget.

A really big victory for climate campaigners.

Rosebank is a huge oil and gas project off the coast of the UK.

The UK government has said it's not in favour of new oil fields. This ruling will make it harder to back down, as some ministers might be tempted to do.
