Properly back in London now and finding it slightly surreal I’ve left bonnie Scotland. Living and working there for 6 months was one of the best experiences of my life. Accurately summed up in the picture below

Newham is where I grew up, so I’ve thought a lot about this piece today. I sometimes don’t think people appreciate how thin the margin is between “making it out” and getting stuck in a cycle of crime/violence
Streets where teens escape or live in fear

The day after 55 pupils at Brampton Manor Academy in Newham received confirmed offers to study at Oxford and Cambridge, four young gang members were convicted o

In other news, my younger brother reached the Cambridge interview stage. No matter what happens, that's another win society wasn't supposed to give us based on our background, and another moment to make our mother proud

I think sometimes working for a news outlet makes me forget just how much disinformation/cynicism there is out there about the vaccine. Outside of my work bubble, I'm having more and more baffling conversations with people from where I live who say they'll refuse to take it
