I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

Michael Gove Made Orwell Prize Judge Despite Record of Attacking Journalists and Dodging Scrutiny
Critics say "Orwell would have enjoyed the irony" of the former Conservative minister's appointment

Who remembers that Brexit campaign slogan from 2016? 🤔
Two red buses, one marked 'The lie' which displays the Vote Leave claim that the EU cost £350M a week that would instead be used on the NHS. Another marked 'The truth' which shows that Brexit has cost the UK £1.7bn per week in 2025.

Powerful piece by @drrachelclarke.com on the COVID inquiry. Those who say it’s easy to be wise in hindsight are being utterly disingenuous. Many of us spoke out at the time, and it’s in the public record.

Have written for the New Statesman about why, if he will not accept an apology, the BBC should welcome a Trump lawsuit. They should show guts and fight it because impartially matters and if they don't, they will have tacitly accepted a rewritten history.

Trump's attack can rescue the BBC
The BBC should use the threat of legal action to strike a blow for press freedom

Our book explores the relationship between health systems, health services, and inequalities in population health. We argue that the separate development of these three fields has led to a neglect of their collective influence on #HealthInequalities 2/7
