Last year, I went camping with the men who have been stockpiling for years and wrote about it for Dispatch. So, if anyone’s looking for advice from a pro, I’d recommend a read.
Why should I stockpile and what will I need? bbc.in/4yESD4t

Macabre banger from @LotteBrundle
They’re barely out of school — and spend their days tending to the dead.
Britain has almost a million young people classified as NEETs.
@LotteBrundle met some who chose an unusual way out: becoming apprentice undertakers.

A disturbing trip to the seaside for the inaugaral "Adam Curtis Party Conference", featuring a Masonic Hall, a human torso inside a suitcase and Tobias Ellwood
Last weekend, Adam Curtis fans held a conference in Boscombe to make sense of modern Britain.
They picked a town that seemed to be living in one of his films.
Outside the hall, locals were still reckoning with a gruesome murder.

Very proud to have Nico Walker on Dispatch today, with a harrowing reconstruction of 9/11 told through his local firehouse.
It’s filled with the sort of small, devastating details you can’t forget.

Psyched to have commissioned this article by the great Nico Walker. It's the best thing you'll read about 9/11 this year.
I'm looking to commission more articles for Dispatch.

EXC: Bank robberies in the UK fell by 75% between 2010 and 2025, my new investigation for @dispatch__media reveals.
Some parts of the country haven’t seen a bank robbery in a decade. So where did all the stick-up crews go?
I tracked down the cops and robbers to find out:
Over the past 15 years, the number of bank jobs in the UK has fallen by around 75%.
Where have all the bank robbers gone?

Aberdeen: Drill for oil. Drill girls. Make drill music.
While the future of North Sea oil and gas may lie in the hands of Andy Burnham, what does drilling look like in Aberdeen today?
To find out, I spent a week in pubs with offshore workers, the strip clubs kept alive by their demand, and in the music studios of young drill artists creating new opportunities in a city they’ve seen decline.
Here’s how to drill in Aberdeen:
Aberdeen is defined by three kinds of drilling.
There's the oil industry, the sex trade that formed around it, and today, a fledgling drill music scene.
But what happens when the first begins to disappear?

Hard to think of a story that better captures coastal England today:
A seaside town's beach is sold to a French company that then seals it off. Locals break in. Someone shoots a CCTV camera with an air rifle.
Along the way, we meet teenagers who think it would be 'banging' to move to Australia, a young man who can't afford a flat so moves to Blackpool, a pensioner angry that the public toilets have been closed for three months.
For 18 years, the people of Newhaven were locked out of their own beach after it was sold to a French company.
This summer, someone decided to take matters into their own hands.

This beach on the Channel in England is owned and controlled by the French département of Seine-Maritime via a company called Newhaven Port and Properties Ltd.

On a searing Sunday morning, I paired back up with Ben McMahon for the first time since Japan, spending the day searching for Chingford's pastures green.
A pleasure to do my first for @jacobfuredi at @dispatch__media, and it's a meaty one. Do tuck in.

Last night, when Harry Kane led England off the pitch, one London suburb was watching particularly closely.
Chingford produced both Kane and David Beckham. For weeks, it has been in the media spotlight.
But what happens when the World Cup circus leaves?
