  • This week I spoke at Bethlehem University to students and teachers about investigative journalism, the Middle East, humility, research, challenging power and our role as reporters in a time of disruption. Always encouraging to find students who want to write, post and provoke authority. The university, nearly 50 years old, is a vital institution in the heart of #Palestine that has served generations of #Palestinians. Long may it thrive. Thanks for inviting me. #academia #education #teaching #listening #bethlehemuniversity
  • Desert eeriness in Mitzpe Ramon in the #Negev in southern #Israel. Think moonscapes, camels and goats, warmth, toddler fun, @ali_m_martin, llama 🦙 licking and open skies. #holiday #smalltown #hippies #860metreelevation #mitzperamon
  • Never tire of this view from Mount of Olives looking across East Jerusalem, Jordan 🇯🇴 in the distance and the Dead Sea. It constantly changes depending on the time of day and light. #jerusalem #palestine #israel #deadsea #jordan #magichour #occupation

  • #Wokecoke anyone? During the recent UK coverage of my @scribe_uk book, ‘Pills, Powder and Smoke: Inside the Bloody War on Drugs’, some of the media coverage has centered on so-called woke coke, it’s not a thing!, or ethically-sourced drugs and asked me about it. Some media simply published my comments by stealing what I told other media outlets 😡. Truly ethically-sourced drugs should be the goal, in a legalized and regulated system everybody is fairly compensated for their work, so let’s focus on that rather than glib stories about woke coke (though yes, it has at times given me the chance to explain the legalization rationale to millions of readers). #booktour #endthedrugwar #mediacreation #youtakewhatmediacoverageyoucanget #journalism #sundaytimes #thesun #eveningstandard #thetelegraph
  • My story in the @guardian on the drug crisis affecting the UK and what can be done about it. Hint, hint: legalise and regulate all drugs. If that’s too much for gutless politicians, at least introduce safe injecting centres. It’ll save lives. Link in bio. @scribe_uk. #booktour #warondrugs #pillspowdersmoke #cannabis #drugwar #heroin
