THREAD🧵

I’ve been a journalist for more than 25yrs

But I never thought the deepest investigation I wld ever undertake – lasting 4yrs – wld be into the confusing circumstance of my own father’s birth

What I uncovered shocked me

…taking me into the archives of Nazi Germany

This would be a tragedy …

So @Summerhallery in edinburgh is for sale, might become offices or student flats.
One of the biggest private arts centres in Europe.
More than 500 rooms. When it opened I could hardly believe it.
Like a Berlin space in the 80s where Bowie/Eno might have worked..1/x

Whenever we begin to wake up to how we're being screwed, conspiracy fictions distract and confuse us and send us back to sleep. So why DO so many people obsess about false stories, but ignore the real ones? In the hope of finding out, I wrote this https://t.co/HgLqDPwqZs

This Guardian book excerpt gets into why I decided to go deep on doppelgangers. It’s not about me and her.

This story - published today in @GdnSaturday - took months of work, and I'm so grateful to the Amazon workers, the incredible @GMBMidlands union organisers, and everyone on the BHX4 picket lines for their bravery and support

Jesus Christ. This story is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions but the overriding one is how absolutely devastating. https://t.co/1MjWHDXe4J

Really enjoyed taking @shattenstone for a walk around the East End to talk about my childhood, family, criminal records, politics and, erm, binge drinking.

Probably with too much honesty…

[Oli Franklin-Wallis @olifranklin]

This is the most personal piece I've ever written. It's about my last three years living with chronic pain - the mystery, the loneliness, and the failures of the system. (Warning: discusses self harm and suicidal thoughts.) https://t.co/urcXjK7k4P

[Merope @meropemills]

I’ve been thinking about this piece for a year. There’s so much more I could say. The only thing that matters is that Martha should be alive today…
