I'll be speaking at the Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists' Student Conference in February 2026. It's a great opportunity for young journalists worldwide to learn more about how the profession operates in practice, so if that's you, why not book a place? www.nlgja.org/2026student/ #journalism #lgbtq

The Bylines Network team has recently been working hard on a far-reaching story connected to the abuse of women at Harrods. We've published the first instalment today. https://sussexbylines.co.uk/politics/human-rights/when-power-is-untouchable-the-legal-abyss-facing-harrods-survivors/ #MeToo #Justice

The IDF is moving in on Gaza City today, but many civilians have been unable to respond to its order to flee because they're disabled, elderly, wounded or have young children. These are the people now in the firing line. https://bylines.scot/news/world/trapped-vulnerable-people-in-gaza-city-watch-as-idf-tanks-advance/ #Gaza #Gaza_Genocide

Yesterday I looked at some of the issues surrounding the UK government's Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment (PIP) Bill. Today I look at what it means for people in Scotland, and the questions that need to be asked ahead of next year's Scottish election. https://bylines.scot/society/can-disabled-scots-trust-labour/ #disability #ScotPol #TakingThePIP

Will Labour rebels over the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment (PIP) Bill back down now that Keir Starmer has offered a deal? I look at why they would be fools to do so. https://northwestbylines.co.uk/politics/disability-benefit-deal-shows-labours-true-colours/ #disability #UKpol

Are you tired of claims that trans rights exist in opposition to women's rights? These women are. I interviewed one of the organisers. https://yorkshirebylines.co.uk/society/should-trans-people-have-fewer-rights-not-in-our-name-say-over-35000-women/

Sometimes it's hard to keep up with the pace of events. I'm happy to report that since I wrote this, internet access in Gaza appears to have been restored, but what has been happening in the West Bank remains very worrying. https://kentandsurreybylines.co.uk/global/world/west-bank-under-siege-as-gazan-internet-access-is-severed/

As the UK's latest immigration bill continues its progression through Parliament, I spoke to someone who has experienced the system at the sharp end. What is it really like to be a refugee? https://yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/seeking-sanctuary-in-the-uk-what-its-really-like/ #refugee #asylum #UKpol

The Times reports that Israeli soldiers are now firing warning shots at EU diplomats in the West Bank. In this article for Kent & Surrey Bylines, I look at the human experiences they don't want those diplomats to see. https://kentandsurreybylines.co.uk/global/world/the-whole-world-left-us-alone-to-die-one-family-clings-to-life-in-gaza/
