I’ve been laid off by openDemocracy, along with a load of my amazing colleagues in the UK. Another bad day for good journalism in this country

If anyone needs an editor, reporter, barman, ageing centre forward or hype man hit me up

Ramzy is the best editor I’ve ever worked with. Utterly baffling to ever want to lose him. Everyone should be fighting each other to hire him quickly

[Ramzy Alwakeel @journoramzy]

Sad to say I've been laid off by openDemocracy, along with several of my incredible colleagues in the UK. It's one dark day of many for British journalism, but I'm immensely proud of everything we achieved together. Here's some of the best. 🧵

Rachel Reeves tells me the two moments which made her think Labour could win the next election were Keir Starmer winning the leadership and his ‘big decision’ to remove the whip from Jeremy Corbyn after the EHRC report

‘You saw the measure of the guy [Starmer] today. It must have been pretty terrifying.. he just got his stuff together and cracked-on.’
