What a week it has been, after being shortlisted for Commentator Of The Year at the Media Freedom Awards last week, today, I have been named on the Press Awards 30 Under 30!

It's an honour to have been shortlisted for Commentator Of The Year at the Society of Editors Media Freedom Awards.

Each week, I try to make sense of the biggest stories in NI politics and at times it can feel like you're howling at the wind.

So a wee bit of recognition goes a long way!

Fabulous evening at this year's #aislingawards with the Ulster Uni team.

It was an honour to represent the fantastic 25@25 cohort as we were shortlisted for the Outstanding Achievement in Education Award.

While we didn't win, it is a pleasure to see the programme recognised.

First day back after a fab 10 days annual leave 🤩
