We're thrilled to be holding this conference @TORCHOxford as part of our project based @uealdc and funded by @ahrcpress, showcasing what we've discovered but also the findings of other researchers and writers working with @pen_int! Hope to see you there!

I’m disgusted

[Literature@UEA @uealdc]

Still chance to catch up with this online! 📻 🎭

[English PEN @englishpen]

Very disappointing news that award-winning writer and filmmaker Tsitsi Dangarembga's application for discharge was today dismissed and that her trial will continue. We continue to call for all charges to be dropped.

This is Brexit

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

You can't just "make Brexit work", @Keir_Starmer, when it’s clearly doing such damage

Pretending #Brexit can be positive is dishonest, plays into hands of Govt & undermines national interest

Instead, admit this is about damage limitation - don’t falsely claim to “make it work”

[English PEN @englishpen]

The Bill of Rights Bill, set to replace the Human Rights Act, will weaken protection and undermine freedom of expression. Read our joint response with human rights orgs @article19org & @IndexCensorship to the Government's proposal. #BillofRights

#Philippines: We are alarmed by reports that writers, journalists and cultural workers are among dozens who have been arrested for engaging in peaceful activism. Our statement: https://t.co/FLvIUEUoay

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

More shameless sycophancy. How can this lot call themselves the party of law and order and allow this grubby, lying, law breaking Prime Minister with no respect for the truth, no obvious comprehension of right & wrong & not a shred of decency or integrity to cling on to office?

[FreeExpressionProj @Writefreexpress]

Just a huge thank you to the brilliant @hannahtrev who has just been indispensable to our project and many others at and with English PEN. We’ll miss you and we wish you loads of luck in your exciting new job!❤️

Amid the haze of misinformation and gaslighting the UK has become, never mind the mangling of language (Operation Red Dog?) some great news in the form of 3 UEA grads on this list. Congrats @AyaRoots @danswiles and @JoBrowningWroe. @uealdc @GuardianBooks
