New to the world of comms in the great city of Manchester, and former BBC journalist. TV and book lover with a keen interest in Arsenal and Eurovision.
Squid Game is such brilliant TV. Trying to savour the final series but honestly just want to demolish it.

Weird that Sky has just essentially written up a BBC exclusive interview as if it’s their own. Even weirder that in doing so, they ignored the families’ request not to picture the killer.

Two years since the funnest fortnight at work I’ve ever had - as part of Team Media Operations at Eurovision in Liverpool

Huge credit to all who ran today’s #manchestermarathon. We set up an impromptu water station at mile 23 and bought up all of kings road tescos supply, as people were really suffering in the heat. Absolute heroes one and all.

In GM, we know we’ve more to do to improve taxi licensing.

But our new system won’t work if it can be undermined by out-of-area licences.

So we’re launching a bid to change the law.

Please ask your council to support the #BackingOurTaxis campaign. 🙏🏻

I hope the Government will work with us to change an education system too focused on the university route and excluding far too many young people from school.

We need two equal routes at 14 - one academic, one technical - and our #MBacc achieves that. 🙌🏻

There is going to come a point where if we want to be good at Eurovision we need to start treating it like the Olympics, or like an election campaign or something. Don't just chuck the song out two months before the contest, get it out early and spend months getting the act known across Europe.
