I lost my job. Unfortunately, myself and several others have been made redundant from The News Movement. As you can probably guess, I’m tweeting this to let you know that I’m now available for new opportunities.

Some exciting news: the BBC has a new international tech newsletter - and I’m writing it. It’s been a busy few weeks getting everything ready with @WillSmale1 and @nbarrett100, and we can’t wait to deliver the first edition on Monday. bbc.co.uk/news/technolog…

A direct ask: pre-orders *really* matter for book authors, so if you'd be willing to reserve/buy a copy of my book The Long View this week, I would be ever so grateful. It's out 30 March, two weeks from now! There are a bunch of retailer options here: hachette.co.uk/titles/richard…

Another tough day for media. We don't have much open; we have one full-time position (careers.bbcstudios.com/job/new-york/d…), but we are always looking for freelance contributers, so DM or email at firstname dot lastname at bbc dot com if it would help.

Hi @elonmusk, I’ve asked you for an interview and not heard back - I’m in the US and want to speak to you so thought I’d take a leaf out of your book and ask Twitter users what they think… Should Elon Musk do an interview with Marianna Spring for BBC Panorama?

Agree that this is a great idea. I hope that the definition goes beyond guidance on engagement/growth/success, and like all coaches includes support, and managing up on behalf of people.

Always brilliant to see @sophiasgaler back @BBC_Future, and doing what she does best - forcing us to think about the legacy & toxicity of accepted social norms.

I’m not going to give the current @TaylorLorenz harassers any further exposure. But the amount of money these people have spent on their stunt is both baffling and disturbing, and I hope that the @washingtonpost are doing what they need to do to protect their own.
