I wrote a comment piece for Press Gazette today about the problems freelance journalists face getting paid and the guideline that @freelancingfor @annacod and I - on behalf of @WIJ_UK - recently launched to address this. Please read and share 🙏
'There is a hole in my bank account where £5,000 should be': Why payment on publication and kill fees for freelances need to be killed off, writes @DonnaLFerguson pressgazette.co.uk/comment-a…

Vote @mschrisbuckley!
I did and she’s by far the best candidate but this @NUJofficial election is a shambles. We may need a telescope to spot the turnout.

The whole "childless cat ladies" thing is obviously cliched and shit and offensive to women without children. But also, completely misunderstands how fucking great it is to own cats.

All emerging writers schemes should include writers over 40 – writers can emerge at any age, and women writers especially are frequently prevented from taking up writing until later in life (as we well know)!

Think voting doesn't matter? The mayor who kept the beaches open in Jaws is STILL the mayor in Jaws 2. Don't make the same mistake as the people of Amity... #GeneralElection24

ITV did the Post Office so maybe the BBC could dramatise the other huge private prosecution scandal - how the BBC pursues the licence fee. More than 44,000 convictions in 2022.
Mostly women, using the dreadful Single Justice Procedure.
Follow Tristan for more.
#PostOffice
A woman from County Durham with learning difficulties and depression.
Prosecuted & convicted last week in the Single Justice Procedure for not paying her TV Licence.
She's a constituent of Conservative Party chairman @RicHolden
This is the letter she sent to the court.
