Here's me interviewed for The New Yorker(!) by @SimonParkin
It's a chaotic story about a chaotic person (Jack Hilton), relayed by another chaotic person (me) and Simon could not have done a better job

'Beyond cliche and condescension:' fantastic defence of Northern writing for @GuardianBooks by @AMcMillanPoet. Taken me a week to finish because I hadn't heard of half the authors mentioned here, my reading list has doubled

Caliban Shrieks. This brilliant book has been the focus of my life for 2 years. One of the best English works of the last century - forced from print, for 7 decades, by snobbery.
It's back! @vintageclassics and I have a new edition out, March 7th 🧨

I've been looking forward to If We Burn since @Vinncent dropped some heavy spoilers on his first visit to Manchester in 2021
He was here to talk about his last work The Jakarta Method, one of the best political books I've read, totally shaped my view of the world

Brazil, Tunisia, Indonesia, Ukraine— why did so many mass protests in the 2010s fail to achieve their aims or worse yet, hinder them?
@Vinncent conducted 200 interviews in 12 countries with people on both sides of mass protests. Come hear him on Thurs↘️

IF WE BURN pans through the protest movements of the 2010s for lessons on how we can make movements like #FreePalestine stronger.

"In 2005 my eldest brother Azelle Rodney unfortunately passed away whilst in police custody. Inquest helped to support my family with legal advice and a number of other legal services over the years."
My family went through it over the years and I don’t want anyone else to have to experience the same kind of pain we did. So with that being said, I’m doing this for all the mums, sons, brothers and families out there that have lost someone in police custody."
A lot of people seem to forget that deaths in police custody occur in this country, but to this date (since 1969) there have been over 3000 deaths."
I’ve never raised money for anything before on my own behalf, so to be honest it’s about time I did something, which is why I’ve stupidly decided to take part in tough mudder with very little training."
50% of all proceeds will be donated to the Steven Lawrence Day Foundation & 50% to Inquest."
Please donate whatever you can and if you’re free on Sunday 16th July come and watch me struggle to get through tough mudder."

"It feels like a victory not just for Jack Hilton, who struggled in his own time to get the recognition he deserved, but also for working-class people in the here and now, facing the same class ceilings."
We want to leverage this fantastic affection for Hilton and his story into concrete support for new working-class art and writing in the NW. To help us out, our Gofundme is still live -> gofundme.com/f/get-Jack-Hilt…
