- My husband still isn’t allowed to come to my next pregnancy scan but hey, he can now go to the pub and get a haircut that isn’t from me. Priorities!
- Like so many women on here, I‘m thinking about Sarah Everard, her family and friends. That could have been any of us. There’s so much emphasis on teaching girls how “to be safe” as though that will protect us, when really we need a different conversation: how to end male violence
- I covered a case last year where a man got exactly half this sentence for grooming and raping three teenage girls.The Sunday Telegraph: Ten years in jail for protestors who desecrate war memorials #TomorrowsPapersToday
- Every other journalist in the country should abandon all hope of winning scoop of the year
- It's been a terrible few weeks for the journalism industry with so many brilliant people losing their jobs. But The Mirror's @PippaCrerar and the Guardian's @matthew_weaver have simultaneously shown why our industry is so needed. What brilliant (and collaborative) reporting.
- What's different about the new Yellowhammer document that the government has just published compared with the one I got hold of last month? The heading. What did the version I had say? BASE SCENARIO Now what does the new one say? HMG Reasonable Worst Case Planning Assumptions
- Rather than closing big parks so more people end up packed into the smaller parks, how about reclaiming green space in London, like this enormous, empty golf course? Turn the golf courses into exercise spots. More green space for everyone, social distancing made easier.
- A (depressing) thread about being a female journalist in 2021. Today my stalker escaped from his not-very-secure “secure” unit and has apparently come to London. Last time he turned up at my office.
- Bloody hell. There are 145 billionaires in the UK and unicef is sending British kids food parcels
- If you believe in the power of investigative journalism, please buy a paper tomorrow. Or better, if you can afford to, please consider subscribing. There are huge costs of stories like this.
- One thing I‘ve felt when a crap thing happens- like the time I had my chest groped on a bus- is that it wasn’t about me at all. The man would‘ve found another victim; I was just the woman who was there. So if you focus on female behaviour, you just shift it along to another woman
- I hope the success of Happy Valley means there are currently loads of dramas being commissioned with 50-something women as the protagonists, especially if they aren't always completely likeable characters. Sarah Lancashire is just stellar.
