A selection of my journalism and broadcast work

I’m a Guardian writer and contribute to newspapers and magazines, both in Britain and abroad. I’m also a regular reviewer and commentator on BBC Radio 4. I enjoy the discursiveness of radio; it’s more like having an argument than writing.

I’ve always written about social issues. I’m particularly interested in uncomfortable subjects, such as criminal children, paedophilia and false accusers. Different outlooks on the world fascinate me, from what we look like to a child with autism, to how it is to live as an identical twin. I dislike orthodoxies, and like to challenge those who are considered unchallengeable.
