Very chuffed to announce I’ve finally got my NCTJ gold standard 🌟
This time last year I was working full-time as a waitress (a job I loved) and was merely deliberating the idea of journalism. Thank the Lord I took the plunge.
Thanks

I'm at Guildford Spectrum Leisure Centre tonight - as the Liberal Democrat Zöe Franklin is taking on Conservative Angela Richardson for the second time.
Keep your eyes peeled for live updates on the count and results for the seat here.

I’m at Donyngs Leisure Centre in Redhill where verification has started for the Surrey Police and Crime Commissioner contest.
After we know how many people have voted, the official count will start at 12 noon.
The PCC result is due to be declared at 2:30-3pm.
Notable Reigate and Banstead results so far:
- Neha Boghani, Green Party, has taken a Conservative seat
- Independent Cllr Zelanie Cooper has kept her seat (after defecting from the Conservatives in April)

I’m looking to speak to someone about Labour’s policy to tax private schools for a SurreyLive article.
Do you think it’s a good idea? Or do you have concerns? Do you think it unfairly targets people?

just had a phone interview with an 84yr old climate activist n she said to me “you don’t have a lot of time left”
i paused, thinking she means in terms of the climate crisis
then she said: “have you got any more questions for me because i’ve got to go soon”

What a start to the campaign: PM getting drenched outside No 10 with New Labour anthem ‘Things can only get better’ belts out from the crowd.

It was such an honour to speak to the Sami community and report on the threats facing Europe’s indigenous people
The Sami have suffered historical trauma & the Truth Commission hopes to raise awareness
Sami rights are still not recognised or respected
Not to be a buzzkill but loosening restrictions like this- it’s ALMOST like Boris is trying to distract the public from something ?? Such a coincidence this is announced when the police have stated Dominic Cummings MIGHT have broken lockdown rules ?? Go figure ??
"I know the toll the lockdown has taken on families and friends," says Boris Johnson
"So from Monday, we will allow up to six people to meet outside... we will now allow people to meet in gardens and other private outdoor spaces."

!! If you do one thing this week then please make time/emotional/brain space for this stunning piece !!
Truly a wonderful wee bit of theatre about the diversity of black identity (personal n national), masculinity& a turbulent relationship with history.
Wahhhhh the country is going to shit !! But hey, the sun’s out so that calls for a weekend of sitting outside n drinking like the world isn’t doomed ??
HOWEVER I’ve come to the conclusion that building Ikea furniture with your family in 30 degrees heat is like a middle-class version of the hunger games
