Why subscribe?
Substack is now the home for most of my writing. I write on a broad range of topics including politics, history, popular culture and internet subcultures. My politics are of the anti-totalitarian left but I also try not to be blindly partisan.
About Me
I am a journalist and author whose writing has appeared in most British newspapers as well as many US publications. My book Hired: Undercover in Low Wage Britain was longlisted for the Orwell Prize in 2019 and was selected as The Times Best Current Affairs and Big Ideas Book of the Year in 2018. I have produced and presented documentaries for Channel 4 television and have appeared on more podcasts than I can count. I have a new book out on 5 June 2025 called Lost Boys, the result of a five year investigation into the manosphere.
