I make videos about politics, history and culture.

My goal is to provide context and clarity to trending topics. I like to take a critical look at current affairs and track down the origins of the ideas which shape the way we see the world.

I guess if you haven’t watched this one yet…

…it has unfortunately become only more relevant in the week since we released it.

🔴 Last year, the UK Government designated the protest group Palestine Action a "terrorist organisation".

The ban led to the arrest of 2,787 protestors on charges of supporting a proscribed group.

Moments ago, the High Court ruled the designation unlawful. The designation remains in place for now, with a further hearing to take place later this month. The government will likely also appeal.

Check out my conversation with Kerry Moscogiuri, Interim CEO of Amnesty International UK, about the ban and its implications for freedom of speech.

There’s a lot of strong debate about student loans in the UK at the moment.

Are they a fair system in which everyone pays their way, or a brutal, regressive tax?

We do a big piece on this last September which digs into lots of this!

❓ Which of these titles do you prefer?❓

I'm just preparing to release my next video, a deep dive into why conservatives across the world are turning (back) to God.

I think it's a really fun one, given the topic; with lots of silliness among the damnation!

But, I would love your help in choosing a name for it. Which of the following would be most likely to get you to click?

Thanks for your helps, and keep your eyes peeled for when it drops on Sunday evening (naturally).

Or, if you want to watch it early, you can do so either on Nebula or the P-website. Cheers all!

I couldn't escape adverts for testosterone replacement therapy.

So I did what any sane person would do.

I took four blood tests and interviewed a doctor, a scientist, and a senior investigator for the Advertising Standards Authority.

What I discovered was a fascinating insight into contemporary healthcare, masculinity and consumerism.

All in my latest video which, if you haven't already seen, is out and available to watch now!

🎤 Interviewees Wanted! 🎤

For a while now, we've been working on a piece about Buy Now Pay Later products: Klarna, Afterpay / Clearpay, Paypal Pay Later etc.

One idea we've been toying with is to interview a bunch of folks with different experiences of using these apps/products.

And, in pursuit of some interviews, and as I've done before, I thought I'd reach out to all of you lovely people who watch my videos!

Are you (or have you been) a user of BNPL products?

Maybe you've used them to pay for big things. Maybe you've used them to pay for small things. Your experiences might be incredibly positive. Your experiences might be incredibly negative.

We're really looking for a range of experiences and reflections.

Obviously not everyone is happy talking about their spending habits and financial experiences for a large-ish audience. And that's completely fine!

However, if you're someone for whom this does sound like a comfortable experience, and you would be happy to potentially take part in a filmed interview for possible inclusion in a forthcoming video, I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks all!

⏬ Find out how to get in touch below ⏬

P.S. Even if this doesn't sound like something for you, liking and commenting on this post would really help to boost its reach, and help me in making this video the best it can be! So I'd suuuuuper appreciate that too!

‼️ BOOMERS is a 2025 Webby Awards Honoree ‼️

It's lovely to learn that BOOMERS has been named a 2025 Webby Awards Honoree, alongside several other Nebula Original shows.

A wonderful bit of recognition for everyone on the team who worked so hard (both on location and in the editing suite) to make the film a reality.

If you've not seen BOOMERS yet, I'd love it if you'd head over to Nebula to check it out!

I recently went on the @MoneyPodcast to chat about my debut film BOOMERS.

Thanks to Damien and T for a really fun conversation.

I struggle to watch myself being interviewed without cringing a lot, so I'm going to share and just trust I said some mildly interesting things (and also didn't say anything too embarrassing)...

And, of course, if you haven't seen BOOMERS yet and would like to, I'll pop the details about how to join myself and all your favourite creators over on ‪@nebula‬ down below!

Want an insight into how we made BOOMERS?

We put together a little video in which I reflect on some of the challenges (and fun!) of trying to make a documentary which turned out to be a little *too* relevant...

BOOMERS is now almost 4 months old, so thank you to everyone who's already popped over the Nebula to watch it.

If you haven't yet but would like to, I'll put a little link to find out more below!
