thank you for 10K! big milestone for me and i am immensely grateful for your support over the last ~couple of years. i didn't expect to get this far, especially not so quickly after beginning to post more seriously, and i couldn't have done it without you all - but a special thank you to @sawlygg, @marmaduke091, @Liam06972452, @Lentils80, and @whylifeis4 (plus the rest of you, you know who you are!) for being patient, supportive and generally amazing friends through it all 🧡

STATEMENT: THE MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS IS ATTEMPTING TO SILENCE ME The Manchester Evening News has contacted me with a list of allegations it intends to publish. I am making this statement because the public has a right to know what is happening and why. The allegations are false. Every one of them. They were put to me without a named source, without a single document, and without any indication of who commissioned them or on what evidential basis they were prepared. The communication was not even signed. A major regional newspaper, demanding a right-of-reply response by Monday 2pm, did not put a name to its own email. That tells you everything you need to know about the confidence this newspaper has in what it is about to publish. That is not journalism by any recognised standard. It is a smear, constructed and delivered under the procedural cover of a right-of-reply request. The @MENnewsdesk has form. This newspaper has spent the better part of a decade looking away from the institutional failures I have spent the better part of a decade exposing. It did not break the Oldham grooming gang story. It did not demand the national inquiry. It did not stand with survivors when doing so was costly and unpopular. I did. The people of this town did. Now, at the precise moment Reform UK has destroyed Labour in Oldham and the national inquiry is formally underway, this newspaper has chosen to come for me. The timing is not accidental. Andy Burnham is manoeuvring toward a parliamentary return. Labour's grip on Greater Manchester depends on controlling the political narrative. My campaigning, eight years of documented, sourced, legally tested investigative work, is a threat to that narrative. A threat to the project that would see Burnham as Prime Minister. The MEN has historically functioned as a press office for Labour's Greater Manchester operation. What is happening now is the continuation of that function by other means. I am a decorated anti-racist. I hold an MBE. I have sat in rooms with Prime Ministers and Secretaries of State. I have designed and implemented counter-extremism interventions at the highest levels of government. I have faced down Nazis, white supremacists, Islamists and jihadists. The idea that this man is a racist, peddling hatred for profit, does not survive thirty seconds of contact with my public record. Any journalist who had done the most basic due diligence would know that. The MEN knows that. They are proceeding anyway. I have sent the MEN a formal warning letter. I am already conducting active High Court proceedings in the King's Bench Division. I have solicitors engaged. Any publication of these allegations will be treated as an actionable wrong and pursued accordingly. There is one further matter I am placing on public record. I am a known figure in a town with a documented history of communal tension. Publishing content that portrays me as a racist because I spoke out against the Pakistani Rape Gangs does not merely damage my reputation. It creates physical risk. If the MEN publishes this piece and I or my child are attacked as a result, the question of editorial recklessness will be answered in court. I have not been silenced by arrests. I have not been silenced by false charges, by de-platforming, by blacklisting, or by years of coordinated harassment. I will not be silenced by a politically motivated hit piece from a newspaper that spent a decade refusing to report what was happening to the children of my town. Raja Miah MBE

Sammy Woodhouse took advantage of speaking at the Unite the Nation rally to tell an audience of tens of thousands that I am suing her. I don't think name dropping me in between Keir Starmer and a member of the rape gangs was accidental. Nor do I believe that this event was an appropriate place for this. Her statement produced a wave of abusive posts directed at me, including explicitly racist attacks targeting my ethnic background and religion. There were also vile allegations of paedophilia. The racist abuse from strangers is of no consequence to me. What is, however, is the response from people who know my work and what was done to me for speaking out, that still chose to publicly question my integrity before I had issued a single word in response. This did more damage than the racists. As far as I am aware, I am not suing Sammy Woodhouse. I have never written to her never mind issued any legal document against her. If I were seeking financial damages from her, as would be the case for suing someone, a formal claim would have been served directly to her. Neither I, nor my lawyers, have issued any such claim. The truth is there are other things going on here. I have tried my best not to get drawn into a public disagreement. Nowhere will anyone find a single post from me in any way attacking Ms Woodhouse. Unfortunately, as a consequence of her actions at the Unite the Union rally yesterday, I have no option other than defend myself. I will share my understanding during this evening's transmission. Those who follow my work will know a few things about me. I do not lie. I bring the receipts. And I leave you to make your own minds up with an analysis of the evidence I present. Thank you to everyone who chose not to rush to judgement against me. I will see you this evening. Raja

London Smith delivers remarks at Rededicate 250 on the National Mall: "I am honored to be here today. On July 4th of last summer, I went to bed after a long day of doing what I loved most. I was a camp counselor at Camp Mystic, where I was honored to care for 17 campers. It was my second summer as a counselor there. I do not believe I was asked to be here today because of anything heroic I did that night. In fact, I could name many other girls who I feel deserve to be here much more than I do. But I do believe I'm here to share what God has done in my life. Not a day has gone by that I do not remember that night, leading my girls out of our cabin through rising waters towards Rec Hall on higher ground. I remember 100 of us climbing to the second floor and crowding onto a narrow balcony, watching water rise to just inches below our feet. I remember losing all hope and feeling completely alone, when my soul stirred my voice to sing the song "Good, Good Father" under my breath. It was a song I would sing whenever I needed the reminder that God is good and on the throne despite my circumstances. It reminded me that He was still a good father, and that above anything else in that moment, I was still deeply loved by Him. And by the grace of God, the water stopped rising and it started to recede. It is hard for me to understand why my life was spared that night while so many others whom I love were not. That is still something that I wrestle with. But even in that grief, I get to hold onto the hope and the promise of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Because I know this: there is still a God of love and miracles in our midst. If you begin to listen, to watch, and to pursue a relationship with Him, I am sure you will see it. Thank you."

In 2022, I joined what was then ARC Evals. Last Friday, I wrapped up at @METR_Evals. METR has done some of the most important work in AI; I'm grateful to @BethMayBarnes and others for letting me be part of it. I'll be taking time to write, reflect, and think. More to come soon!
