Amber Barry on the importance of Wuthering Heights' context in 19th-century northern England, which is lost in the "flat, vaguely gothic backdrop" presented in the film theguardian.com/film/2026/feb/…

Famine declared by IPC in #Gaza Governorate is a direct result of actions by #Israel's Government that has unlawfully restricted entry & distribution of humanitarian aid. It is a war crime to use starvation as a method of warfare, and the resulting deaths may also amount to a war crime - @volker_turk ➡️ ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

Just when it seems there are no words left to describe the living hell in Gaza, a new one has been added: “famine”. This is not a mystery — it is a man-made disaster, a moral indictment and a failure of humanity itself. Famine is not only about food; it is the deliberate collapse of the systems needed for human survival. People are starving. Children are dying. And those with the duty to act are failing. As the occupying power, Israel has unequivocal obligations under international law — including the duty of ensuring food and medical supplies of the population. We cannot allow this situation to continue with impunity. No more excuses. The time for action is not tomorrow — it is now. We need an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages and full, unfettered humanitarian access.

@phenomenalworld "Sugar was one of the most important industries in Jamaican society. In the decolonization process, a question emerged: Could those workers, whose ancestors had been slaves, participate in redesigning how the industry would operate?" ht @NeilWarner_ phenomenalworld.org/interviews/ant…

The Whitaker report 40 years ago "saw Ireland’s propensity to send people to prison as excessive, but the rate of incarceration today is more than twice what it was" irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/0…

I have a new article out on wage-earner funds, a famous attempt at economic democracy in Sweden in the 70s & 80s. It examines the funds' defeat, emphasising the issue's stronger resonance with businesses compared to workers & the Social Democratic Party journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has reached a critical point. With food supplies vanishing, children cry from hunger, and mothers scour the ground for even the smallest scraps.

Powerful editorial in the @businessposthq Refreshing to see such direct language about the reality behind Ireland’s economy 🇮🇪
