I'm a senior reporter at New Civil Engineer, write on a freelance basis for a range of publications including national newspapers, and provide services including strategic communications and public speaking.

At New Civil Engineer, I cover civil and defence nuclear, critical national infrastructure (CNI) and risks it faces from climate breakdown, cyber attacks and geopolitical conflict, Neom in Saudi Arabia, and the wider civils landscape.

On a freelance basis, I have written news covering LGBTQIA+, climate and environment, constitutional affairs, and conflict and defence tech, for publications including Private Eye, Resilience Media (Substack-based defence tech publication), The National (Scottish newspaper), The Canary UK, PinkNews, Trans Writes, Bricks magazine and Resurgence.

My work for Private Eye and Resilience Media is not bylined, so it is not listed below.

You can find opinion articles, including on my personal life, climate politics and LGBTQA+ issues in The Times of London, the i newspaper, PinkNews and Metro UK.

The articles listed below are exclusively my freelance work. You can find my work for New Civil Engineer here: https://www.newcivilengineer.com/author/tom-pashby/
