Hull // London
Joined May 2013
And I’m done, quite sad leaving Parliament but had an amazing time, worked for great MPs and teams One of my regrets was not being able to show my Dad around, but one of my best days was taking my Mum Am looking forward to working in housing! (drop me a message for coffee etc!)
So, after 3.5 years it’s my final week working in Parliament It’s been such total privilege to have worked in literal palace, got to take so many cool photos too! Really excited to go into public affairs in a sector I’m *so* passionate about; housing!

I cannot stress enough how pointless & performative it is to be doing this at the EX- VICE President’s book tour.
Former VP Kamala Harris’ book tour event in Washington D.C. was interrupted by Gaza protesters: “I am not your president”

Strip out London, and the UK’s economy per capita is just 3% larger than Poland’s! 🤯
🇵🇱 My @thetimes column: Poland’s economic miracle 12 out of 17 Polish regions are now richer than West Wales. It has faster internet, cheaper electricity and more high speed rail than Britain When it comes to regional development it’s the UK, not Poland, that needs to catch up

Cyclist advice in London - I’m bringing my Dad’s old bike with me from Hull to London, it’s a fairly cheap one. Would I be okay just to get a normal lock given it’s not expensive looking or do I still need to worry about thieves?

My main takeaway from this is it’s very mid-00s coded, does anyone think graffiti like this looks good?
Just when you think the Church of England couldn’t descend any further… Canterbury Cathedral is literally graffitiing itself and celebrating it as art

What’s the difference between the Leeds metro and the Marseille metro? The Marseille metro exists. Leeds is the largest city in Europe without a metro. UK towns lag Germany & France, holding back growth. In a new report with @labourtogether, we set out a plan to change this 🧵

Policeman tries to stop criminal: is arrested himself. The incentives here are *insane*. This is why fare evaders and shoplifters are so brazen. They know anyone who tries to stop them will be convicted themselves. Crime is now legal.

London is in the weird spot of the public being sick to death of brazen fare evasion and the state persecuting any police officers who actually try to stop it
