@edithmayhall Middle!

It's choose the cover time again. My 'biography' of Medea, for which I looked at every single ancient source, researched forensic psychology and visited every site to try to come up with a coherent narrative, comes out this year. My editor likes the green one. Please help choose!

There remains a deeply rooted culture of institutional racism and misogyny within the Met, which the force has yet to properly address. These latest revelations are appalling and just a snapshot of what is happening in forces across the country. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@EmmaPeagam Hahahaha

@RoseOMWalker Yeah, I had that one too. Maybe we just create a newsletter

My fiancée sometimes delivers me a business news report in the morning. Today I tried to explain the concept of 'labubus' to him

@EmmaPeagam The other day it was 'What's this Salt Path thing about?'

@RoseOMWalker Me but with Trisha Paytas 🤝

@GoodStuffLawson Yes please send over an interview. He frighteningly found multiple articles in the WSJ about them

@RoseOMWalker I can get an explainer from my daughter if it helps him?

@JournoMikeT There’s something so very unsettling about them!

@RoseOMWalker I have written a story about Labubus today and still don't get it. All I can think about is that Arthur episode where everyone wants to buy Woogles because they are popular

What an incredible line in the latest on Noel Clarke: "She is into women’s rights, which I do not knock, I used to be as well.” theguardian.com/culture/2025/m…

NEW: Blow for Rachel Reeves The UK will need to raise taxes further to get the public finances on a sustainable footing, the OECD says today Plunges into doubt her pledge of no more tax rises Via @PhilAldrick >>> bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The corporate tax rate? The state and local tax cap? Individual tax cuts? Everything is on the table and it all depends on how Americans vote this fall. Listen to @ReporterCioffi speak about his expectations for tax after the election btaxgo.com/KZzsOKK

Happy Friday from Poppy! (And our new sofa)

@Stefan_Boscia that was quite funny, tbf

Rachel Reeves already trying out attacks on likely next Tory leader Kemi Badenoch. Says the budget will protect against unfair dismissal, bullying in the workplace and cuts to maternity pay.

If you need a run-down on where the OECD's global tax deal currently stands, check out @LaurenVella on the situation: news.bloombergtax.com/daily-tax-repo…

Happy Friday!

Love to make helpful notes to myself I while on source calls that I definitely understand when looking back at them

This week strikes an uncomfortably familiar sense of deja vu in all POC, having felt this hatred fired at us on the basis of our skin colour many times before. Thank you to the women who shared their stories with me for @Refinery29 @Refinery29UK refinery29.com/en-gb/riots-uk…

Turned round to say what a great boss he sounded. Had a quick chat, he owns a Cambridge restaurant and they’re preparing for riots tonight. What an absolute nightmare we’re living in.

Just overheard a guy speaking to what I presumed were his business staff advising them to close, cancel bookings and just make sure everyone gets home safe. Take cabs if they need and they’d reimburse etc.
