A fabulous night. Buried with @smoketrailprod @lucytaylor @michaelsheen @RoySocChem @BBCRadio4 has won the 'Grand Award' at @NYFestivals gala. Thank you New York! A lovely little boost - credit to full Buried team attached.

Bravo @BBCRadioFoyle for understanding that environment crime is front-page news. 45-minute special coverage on Mobuoy from 8am today.

NEW: Two NI parties are backing calls for a tougher sentence over Mobuoy. One former minister will be writing to the NI equivalent of the Crown Prosecution Service. Campaigner renew calls for full public inquiry.

Going live shortly on the BBC in Northern Ireland, after a 20-year fight for justice comes to an end in Derry - in one of the biggest environment crimes in UK history, even European, history.

RT @Dean_Journalist: On North West Today tomorrow morning - a special focus on Mobuoy dump. Some politicians and environmental activists a….

Judge says "the time has passed" when those motivated by greed in waste crime can simply walk free.

BREAKING: Mobuoy criminals get shock custodial sentences of 1 year and 21 months respectively, at the tougher end of what we were expecting. Initial reaction from lifelong campaigners is positive. The end of a long fight for justice for Derry. But Mobuoy's legacy just beginning.

New report - recycling rates are falling. And the rise in consumption is outpacing even the rise in population. We now extract more than 100 billion tonnes of raw materials every year, a staggering number. "A waste crisis,"

Need a wild idea for first weekend in June? Join us at Cheltenham Science Festival to discuss whether forever chemicals are making us all sick. I don't normally dress like this (see pic). @cheltfestivals Tickets here:

More fab news this afternoon, as The Last Witness is shortlisted in the New York Festivals Radio Awards @NYFestivals, in documentary of the year. Thanks again to @michaelsheen for his unwavering support, @smoketrailprod team, R4 team @RoySocChem @ManMetUni + Rev. Cawthorne

Lovely to see our @BBCRadio4 pod The Last Witness shortlisted for a True Crime Award, particularly for "community impact". There is a growing sense of horror over forever chemicals and what they do. With @lucytaylor @michaelsheen @smoketrailprod team @RoySocChem @ManMetUni + R4

NEW: Welsh Govt has intervened after R4 Buried revealed toxic chemicals at 140 x background rate in South Wales. They're building a huge fence around it. But same land has been accessible for picnics and play for yrs. Is this action far too late? Contact us if you know more.

Delighted to be heading back to Derry with @RDeanBlackwood @SJAMcBride and more to talk 'Uncovering Mobuoy' and all things Buried at the @niscifest. Tickets here which they've subsidised heavily in the name of public interest on this issue:

Hearing credible reports that the Welsh Government is announcing that Ty Llwyd, where Buried found 140 x background level of banned, cancer-causing PCBs, will NOT be declared 'contaminated land', but kept open for normal use for play and picnics etc. Waiting for more.

Wow. Christmas cracker for @smoketrailprod. Buried, at No. 3 podcast of the year! Thrilled, and thank you @guardian. With @lucytaylor @michaelsheen and many more.

Last day in office. Well, 2024 you were wild. Hollywood actors, dead witnesses, campaigning vicars, live theatre events and the moment we feared that we'd killed Michael Sheen. Just imagine what we're plotting for 2025.
