Here's a thread on my reporting of the rise of far-right/normalisation of far-right politics in UK/US/Europe - @BylineTimes @wildwalkerwoman

Starting with a joint piece by me & @paulmasonnews on far-right pressure re Borders Bill bylinetimes.com/2021/12/15/far…
Starting with the UK - how Johnson's fantasy of Peppa Pig world betrays authoritarian tendencies bylinetimes.com/2021/12/01/new…
And how when it comes to judicial independence, Tories appear to be looking to illiberal regimes in Eastern Europe bylinetimes.com/2021/12/07/whe…
I've also written about how Johnson's ideas of freedom are a form of oppression: bylinetimes.com/2021/07/12/bor…
When it comes to Europe, I wrote this week about how the Great Replacement is going mainstream in politics bylinetimes.com/2021/12/20/how…
I've reported extensively on far-right, radical-right and religious-right funding to anti-gender, anti-freedom actors, including those with Conservative Party links: bylinetimes.com/2021/05/06/gov…
And reported a LOT on far-right mainstreaming in Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Italy... particularly in relation to women's and LGBTIQ people's rights:

As for the US...with @Heidi_Cuda I've reported on the Conservative Party links to the anti-abortion movement:
bylinetimes.com/2021/08/24/the…
On the far-right ideology behind the anti-abortion movement:

@Heidi_Cuda (may be of interest, @jasonintrator !)
The military fantasies of the far-right in the UK and the US

bylinetimes.com/2021/11/10/the… with @Heidi_Cuda
And the ways in which the US far-right and radical-right is attacking schools and education... which has worrying echoes in the UK, with @Heidi_Cuda bylinetimes.com/2021/11/15/the… (may be of interest, @jasonintrator)
That's just a snapshot of my reporting on the mainstreaming of far-right ideas and ideology in US, UK and European politics - there's loads more in my archive...inc reports on actual policy decisions, undercover investigations of anti-LGBTIQ movement and lots on abortion rights!

So after years of freelancing on the side, this year I got my first proper full time, permanent journalism job at @BylineTimes – & what a year to do it in! Here's a thread of the stories I'm proud of.
Starting with THATCHERISM IN YOGA PANTS! bylinetimes.com/2021/01/18/fro…
How corporate supporters of International Women's Day are failing to deliver equal pay:

Still can't quite understand how little the Conservative Party's far-right alliances in Europe have been reported on, but I reported it:

The other night I watched a doc about the attempted insurrection at the Capitol and had some very real concerns bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod… which I will share in a thread.
The doc featured illuminating interviews with many of the people who stormed the Capitol but it was really concerning that no context was given about their views or their previous careers.
Men spoke who were described as "filmmakers and activists" - but this hid the fact that one was an anti-abortion extremist who vandalised a Planned Parenthood clinic with the slogan "babies lives matter"

In two weeks I’m having a camera inserted through my cervix with no pain relief. I’m told to take an ibuprofen an hour before, while women report screaming in pain at the procedure. All this talk of cervixes and yet we aren’t really ever talking about pain, sexism & medicine.
One of the hardest stories I ever worked on was about obstetric violence and the pain inflicted on vulvas, vaginas, wombs and cervixes. I had nightmares about it. odz.sk/en/when-gyneco…
I just feel like there are so many conversations that need to be had about gynaecological health, pain, silencing, sexism and how this impacts on women, trans men & non binary people. But this is my theme today! The conversations not being had!

Happy #IWD2021 where I #ChooseToChallenge corporate BS pink washing their lack of equal pay & sure record on sexual harassment.
At 10am I’ll tweet a list of 25 corporations who support #IWD2021  while still having median hourly wage gender pay gaps or bonus gaps.
I’ve also got a package of articles @BylineTimes on pay gap, anti feminist movements & threats to women journalists
That should say poor record, not sure record

I'm going to spend all of tomorrow tweeting the gender pay gaps of brands pink washing their feminism credentials on #IWD aren't I?
Ok, it’s on. I’ll do this tomorrow. I also have a piece coming out in @BylineTimes about the gender pay gap issue.
Here's the list of gender pay gaps in brands that champion #IWD2021 - a day rooted in the socialist movement and designed to improve women's working conditions.

It's not a day to tweet your support. It's a day for action.
