It’s so important to me to cover economic abuse - so I was delighted to have the chance to raise it on the World Service. Insights from UK, USA, South Africa and more. Thanks to @nicolajanesharp.bsky.social and all my contributors, especially ‘Mary’ for sharing her experience so frankly.

I deal with my mother’s affairs via LPA so I have a lot of sympathy. Why not drop me an email - [email protected] - explaining the situation and giving express permission for me to approach your bank and ask some questions?

This but also: there's a gaping hole in *useful info if you're just a person whose partner/friend/dad etc has gone off the deep end and don't know how to talk them out of it* ie both a public health/deradicalisation strategy on a national level & a relationship level one.

Everyone knows at least one person (normally, but not exclusively, a guy) whose gone properly mental due to net rabbit holes.

We see public figures regularly go mad and destroy themselves.

And we have, at a policy level, just decided to put our fingers in our ears and go nahnahnah

Last night I heard of another friend of a friend who has been lost to a rabbit hole of online propaganda. We need to start treating this as a serious public health concern.

Inexplicably, my son’s very standard state school - in a mixed area, not a particularly affluent one - arranged a £4K trip to Kenya last year. I keep meaning to do a story on the astonishing escalation of the school trip.

Genuinely looking at dried spaghetti sales on #wakeuptomoney tomo - and whether tiktok influencers are hitting them hard. All the business news from every sector eventually! So tell me… has social media changed what you cook?
