It was a pleasure to talk to the #someoneIknew team for this podcast and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in either learning about or wanting to join the fight against far-right's narrative about sexual violence towards women.
In this clip from The Northern Rose Podcast, campaigners from the #someoneIknew campaign talk about reclaiming their stories of sexual violence - and how the far right has tried to weaponise women’s trauma to spread hate against refugees and trans people.

Bus Drivers Still Fighting For Fair Pay - 16 Years Later
In 2009, Manchester bus drivers went on strike after their company prioritised shareholder dividends over staff pay.
16 years later, in 2025, they’re back on the picket line - fighting the same battle.
