"When people talk about the need for Black Excellence I counter with an insistence on Black mediocrity: the right for black people to be as average, flawed, compromised & mistaken as any other group of people. The right, ultimately, to be human." R.I.P. Jason Arday

For the past 9 months, I've been investigating Andrew Tate's empire of sexual exploitation — drawing on thousands of private messages and sealed court files, as well as interviews with the Tates, their associates & more than a dozen alleged victims. Here's what I found: newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

Just catching up on this brilliant reporting from @louisetickle who took on the MoD after the government attempted to ban her from reporting that an abusive father was a member of the special forces. tinyurl.com/49j8snnb

I interviewed a remarkable young woman, Florence*, for @TBIJ who spoke to me about her experience of the family courts and her efforts to bring her own legal challenge after being removed from her mother's care at the age of 10. tinyurl.com/4nxdst55 (1/9)

Child focused courts (previously called the pathfinder courts) will be expanded nationally in "game changer" for family justice. A successful pilot of the new 'problem solving' model has been credited with reducing delays and better safeguarding children. tinyurl.com/264x9nb4

Have we seen the last of unregulated psychologists in the family courts? My report on McFarlane's landmark judgment, Re Y. He says his ruling is not just about one person (Melanie Gill) but a whole system that failed to protect the children in this case.

For the second time in six months the high court has dismissed the evidence of unregulated psychologist Melanie Gill after her advice led to the removal of children from their mothers. My report in @guardian on this significant ruling. tinyurl.com/3a275j43

The timeline of Labour's relationship with Palantir in government is fascinating...
Palantir is a client of Mandelson's lobbying firm Global Counsel
After entering government in July, not a single Labour minister met with Palantir in any capacity UNTIL 28 February 2025, with Starmer's first US visit, weeks after Mandelson took up US ambo role
Since then, Palantir has met with eight cabinet ministers and significantly increased its government contracts

NEW: Our investigation for @thenerve_news reveals not only that Peter Thiel’s Palantir is completely enmeshed in our critical national infrastructure.
It’s also the ‘cloud support’ for our nuclear weapons system

The family court will not carry out a wholesale review of cases involving the unregulated psychologist, Melanie Gill, @TBIJ can reveal. Meanwhile mothers who had their children taken away after Gill gave evidence in their cases demand a public apology. tinyurl.com/595ah2e5

Massive crowds came out for anti-ICE general strike in Minnesota, braving temperatures of -23C.
A city with a history of class struggle.
This is just a taste of the power Trump is provoking. More of this needed nationwide.

🚨 BREAKING: Sir Keir Starmer does not condemn the US strikes on Venezuela "at this stage", saying the facts need to be established. He has not yet spoken to Donald Trump.
The UK prime minister told broadcasters: "I want to establish the facts first. I want to speak to President Trump, I want to speak to allies.
"As I say, I can be absolutely clear that we were not involved in that. And as you know, I always say and believe we should all uphold international law.
"But I think at this stage, fast-moving situation. Let's establish the facts, and take it from there."
He added: "And so I will want to talk to the president, I will want to talk to allies. But at the moment, I think we need to establish the facts.
"I think President Trump is doing a press conference later, so hopefully more information will come out then."
Starmer said the UK was "not involved in any way", and they are working to safeguard the roughly 500 British nationals currently in Venezuela.

We wrote to @DavidLammy and @WesStreeting on Tuesday to express concern over access to healthcare for prisoners on hunger strike.
After reports of delayed admission to hospital for a prisoner, we remain concerned for the welfare of the remaining hunger strikers.
It is crucial that prisoners get prompt access to healthcare and management adequately train and recruit prison officers, who look out for the health and safety of all prisoners, regardless of their reason for being in prison.

The fact is that neither Starmer nor his cabinet, nor the crew of shameless Starmerite Guardian columnists using up reams of space every day care a damn about the hunger strikes dying. Their predecessors were the same when the Long Kesh prisoners did the same, though The Guardian and the BBC permitted dissenting voices. And police are arresting people for using the word 'intifada' (uprising in English).
The pro-Palestinian hunger strikers are being held illegally and any court of law would order their immediate release. A despised government is creating more hatred for itself, backed by Farage and Badenoch.
Eight Palestine Action activists are being left to die in prison – all without even facing trial. We must force the government to act, before it’s too late. ⬇️

NEW: Six years ago today a boy was removed from his mother's care by the family court and banned from seeing her following the evidence of an unregulated psychologist. Now they will spend Christmas together after his successful legal bid to the high court. tinyurl.com/4suja87n

Operating a children’s home that is not registered with Ofsted is a criminal offence
Yet, Cornwall Council offered suppliers £6 million to provide “staffing for unregistered places” across the county – and advertised the contract on a government website
