8 years. Dozens of rewrites. One big day.
Graduated today with a PhD from LJMU’s School of Law. It’s easy to say “I did it,” but truthfully, we did it. My parents, my friends, my partner. Their support got me through.
This one’s for them.

It’s mental that #Trump is having a #militaryparade to celebrate his #birthday, and #maga voters:
1. Think he will better their lives
2. See him as a ‘man of the people’
3. Don’t see this as dictatorial behaviour. Or maybe they do…

Why do people steal without need? Why carry a knife despite the risk?
My latest piece explores theft and knife crime through the lens of inequality, strain, and identity. Crime as adaptation—not just deviance.

The #UK should never seek to relate to this far-right #Trump administration just to secure a trade deal.
We should never be this desperate.
And even though we’ve had years of experiencing how mental Orange Tits really is, I can’t believe this is #American leadership.

I'm not sure people saying "oh, 10%? Not too bad" have really understood the gravity of the situation.
Also, trying to claim it as some sort of ‘#Brexit win’ is just sad.
Where’s that promised free trade deal with the #USA?
