Kindle has chosen Sick of It to be part of their 99p deal for October!

Given the first book I published back in 2010 was about £80 this is a much better deal. And cheaper than a whippy.

You may already have seen her on the BBC this morning, but journalists and policy experts looking for experts on digital ID cards - you need to speak to @kerenweitzberg.bsky.social

The Britcard – progressive or concerning? | British Politics and Policy at LSE
The Government is considering Labour Together's proposal to introduce mandatory digital ID cards in an effort to tackle irregular migration. There are problems with that.

When the US right talk about free speech in the UK their point of reference is always abortion. This is not an accident, but a core part of their agenda. Women's health as ever at the forefront of global politics.

I am such a fan of this prize, that I've alternated between

We cannot stop talking about this: attacks on maternity units Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan...are deliberate tactics of conflict that target civilians.

I argue this in Sick of It - politicians decry some cases (Ukraine), ignore others, but can't claim not to know.

‘Russia is targeting us deliberately’: how attacks on maternity hospitals fuelled a birth-rate crisis in Ukraine
The Guardian has visited three frontline hospitals to hear from women who say they have been left fearful of childbirth after more than 80 attacks on maternity units since Russia’s full-scale invasion

'We need more of this type of calling out bullshit. Not to bring down global health and its potential to advance women’s health. But to show us what’s really broken, rotten, or simply dangerous.' Thanks so much @katribertram.bsky.social for this generous and no nonsense review of Sick of It

$2.5billion for women's health is great. BUT as I argue in Sick of It, all this innovation, money & attention is great but this will get you nowhere unless you understand the bigger problem: how women's health is used to gain and sustain power in the world (which is also what Gates is doing here)
