Here's a thread of my favourite 10 articles I've written about veganism for @Guardian, @Telegraph, @MetroUK, @Independent and @PlantBasedNews. (Please retweet!) Let's start with my piece exposing the cruelty of the dairy industry: theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Days of debate over Andy Burnham’s appearance on Gogglebox.
Bread and circuses are alive and well.
I never thought I’d say this but can we hear more from @Iromg?

I love Martin O'Neill but we won the league last season mostly because the Diets and the Huns collapsed. This season he doesn’t seem particularly focused or serious. The cheeky, evasive press conference patter is starting to grate, too.
"I think it’s something we really have to look at, closing down players on the edge of the box, rather than giving them space."

Buried on page 30 of 'Sir' David Bellend's report into antisemitism in schools in the UK it explicitly says there hasn't been a rise in antisemitism, only in anti-Israel sentiment. Astonishingly fraudulent crisis/debate, all to shield a genocidal state
chas newkey-burden retweeted
The lead reviewer into antisemitism in British schools has previously been accused of singling out Muslim schools by suggesting they could potentially threaten Britain's coherence as a nation.
Sir David Bell made the remarks in 2005 when he was the head of Ofsted.
