In the @Daily_Express this morning talking about the Grenfell inquiry and the need for proper oversight of recommendations ahead of the 7th anniversary on Friday and the publication of the inquiry report in September. @INQUEST_ORG@GrenfellUnited@grenfellinquiry
It’s okay for the Tories/Times/Telegraph to pretend that taxes are up “because of welfare”. That’s politics. But if you care about policy you need to understand that is a long way from the truth - and wrestle with the consequences
@Narcomania Obviously not the best platform but a friend of mine is there doing predominantly social first work but is doing and pushing good, deep reporting about important social issues - not all dreadful journalists
New: The Observer has opened a voluntary redundancy round, nearly a year after the paper was acrimoniously acquired from The Guardian by Tortoise Media

Extraordinary piece in FT about the operation to kill #Iran's regime's supreme leader Khamenei.
Nearly all traffic cameras in Tehran were hacked by #Israel for years. They knew when members of the #IRGCterrorists Vali Amr Protection Unit (Khamenei's bodyguards) came and left work on Pasteur Street. And interestingly the CIA--not Mossad--had a human source which assisted with the effort.

Rachel Aviv is a genius. Here she brings all the insight she’s gleaned from past writing about sexual trauma, incest, memory + psychology to bear on a highly public story in a way that reframes it completely. We are so lucky to have her mind at work. https://t.co/I0tRRPMnkT
🚨 Schweinsteiger:
“Every time I watch Olise, I wonder how Yamal is already ‘best in the world.’ Talent for talent, Olise isn’t behind in anything. Feels like Barca’s PR working overtime again. Stop forcing the next Messi… it’s giving Disney+ trailer”
Kinda cool that the Anthropic comms team and execs did this. Embedding the New Yorker's Gideon Lewis-Kraus and letting the chips fall where they may is almost punk rock at this stage of the "go direct" era.

I recently got into an argument on Substack with a writer who thought that this was laughable. Dua Lipa? The singer??? He just couldn't get it. But she could be doing almost anything with her time. Too many writers make a fetish of their cultural marginality.
Here's me for @NewStatesman arguing that any chance of forestalling a Reform government depends on a much more decisive break with neoliberalism than Starmer, or even most of the soft left in parliament, seem willing to make. Thanks to the magazine, especially @OliDugmore.
For the past year we’ve investigated how the care system, NHS and courts are failing and neglecting learning disabled people, with fatal consequences.
They consistently tell us: we don’t have a voice.
We decided to listen. Their words should shame us all https://t.co/BjxbKMY7si
IDF soldiers recount using Palestinians as human shields, killing aid seekers, firing a tank shell at a man doing laundry. “The brigade rabbi sat down and spent half an hour explaining [...] that we must take revenge on all of them, including civilians." https://t.co/8S7m3u2dYE
