"The 'wood-wide-web' narrative gives us the trees for our times: anti-capitalist, feminist and extremely online." Today's @gdnlongread by Daniel Immerwahr theguardian.com/environment/20…
Please share widely - the second year of the Martha Mills Young Writers’ Prize. We’re thrilled to have the wonderful @PhilipPullman as a judge - Martha was such a fan of his books

Britain’s first black female MP faced hostility from the media and political establishment from the start. Nearly 40 years on, she is still not giving up theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Diane Abbott’s tumultuous political journey by Andy Beckett theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Excellent long read by @dimmerwahr on why the idea of the Wood Wide Web came to be so powerful, why it’s probably not so, and why trees are magnificent anyway 🌳🌴🌲 theguardian.com/environment/20…
Mother trees and socialist forests: is the ‘wood-wide web’ a fantasy? by @dimmerwahr theguardian.com/environment/20…
"Contemplating trees should be an exercise in humility. Perhaps the presence of beings older, larger and more numerous than we are can be a reminder that we are not everything, and that everything is not us." theguardian.com/environment/20…
In the past 10 years the idea that trees communicate with each other – and even care for each other – has gained widespread currency. But have these claims outstripped the evidence? by @dimmerwahr theguardian.com/environment/20…
Mother trees and socialist forests: is the ‘wood-wide web’ a fantasy? theguardian.com/environment/20…
As a victim of one of the NHS’s worst failures, I campaigned for years for an investigation into what led to so many people becoming infected with deadly viruses. Finally we got an inquiry into the contaminated blood scandal – but did we get answers? theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/o…
Congratulations to @NesrineMalik who has been shortlisted for the @EuroPressPrize for her piece, "My lament for war-torn Khartoum" theguardian.com/world/2023/jul…
This is a fascinating, gripping and nuanced piece about, among other things, the complexities of prosecuting county lines cases and the blurred lines between victim and perpetrator theguardian.com/law/ng-interac…
Just heard - a court in Trapani, Sicily, has dropped the case against crew members of the search and rescue ship Iuventa. They've had this case hanging over their heads for 7 years: I wrote about its murky origins for @gdnlongread in 2020. theguardian.com/news/2020/sep/…
From low-level drug dealer to human trafficker: are modern slavery laws catching the wrong people? theguardian.com/law/ng-interac…
In 2019, Glodi Wabuela became the first ‘county lines’ drug dealer to be tried & convicted for human trafficking. It was a shock to realise I’d gone to primary school with him. I’ve spent the last year putting together his story for @gdnlongread theguardian.com/law/ng-interac…
When I heard that a boy from my primary school had been convicted of people trafficking, I had to find out what had happened to make him fall so far by @Ffranciscodgf theguardian.com/law/ng-interac…
‘Super cute please like’: the unstoppable rise of Shein, by @nicoleklipman theguardian.com/fashion/2024/a…
In 2016, we asked Ian Jack to write about Trident for @gdnlongread, and he produced this masterpiece —which makes very clear, over 10000 words, that the purpose of “our nuclear deterrent” has little to do with keeping us safe. theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/f…
‘A new abyss’ the brilliant Rashid Khalidi on Gaza and the hundred years’ war on Palestine While much has changed since 7 October, the horrific events of the past six months are not unique, and do not stand outside history theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…
Very powerful @gdnlongread essay about both surviving sexual assault and documenting it in others - not an easy read but beautifully written, honest and thought provoking theguardian.com/world/ng-inter…

To add to this - I spent months last year trying to get media accreditation to visit Rwanda for my @gdnlongread on the deal, including via Rwanda's UK-based PR agent. They kept stalling, then refused my application a week or so after the piece was published.
This week, the UK will likely pass a law saying Rwanda is "safe" to deport asylum seekers to. Meanwhile, I was recently denied boarding on a flight to Rwanda, presumably because of my journalism on the treatment of refugees there. (THREAD) 1/

Ian Fleming—who I wrote about in this @gdnlongread story—died on Tuesday after an illness. Younger writers ask, how do you know you've found a subject? If it's a person, they tend to brim with something (a vibe, a way of speaking, an outlook) that you wanna capture. Ian was that.
A year ago I saw a news item warning that half the UK’s fish and chip shops might close. I chose an area of excellence for the dish, the East Neuk of Fife, and hung around to see how they coped. It was a lot. Please read if you have time. Shop local. Tx theguardian.com/food/2023/jul/…
