Next weekend I'm running the Sheffield 10k and have decided to fundraise for a cause very close to my heart.
Anything you can donate, even £5, would mean the world to me and goes towards a fantastic charity

@ConnerRoberts_
Also lot of people rightly point out double standards w/ black players like Cissoko and James being seen as aggressive whereas McCabe is ‘passionate’…
Having my pitch accepted last night still feels like a dream. It’s not paid, it’s not national news, it’s not a ‘mainstream publication’ - but it’s the first time I’ve ever worked up the guts to ask anywhere to publish something I really want to write and THEY SAID YES.
Whoever said journalism was glamorous has clearly never tried lugging a TV grade camera and tripod to and from the tram stop when the ground is 90% black ice

Went back through my last few tweets and it is legitimately mad the turn my life's taken these last few months... only decided to start taking my dream of being a football reporter seriously last autumn & if you told me then the stuff I'd be doing now I would laugh in your face
Amazing time

This week has been such a beautiful example of the joys of renting as a student, texted my partner to ask if I could stay at his - ‘you can if you want but we have no heating’ to which I had to then reply ‘you can stay at mine if you want but we have rats’
Always love doing these shows but Barry took it to another level tonight with his tactics board, great work

said after Julius Jones' commutation hearing that he wouldn't commute Jones' sentence because the clemency hearing was the proper forum for a death penalty case.
At his clemency hearing, the Pardon & Parole Board voted AGAIN to stop the execution.
No excuses - act NOW.
Not the ending the fan in me wanted today. But an unbelievable season in so many ways - the opportunities I’ve had have been the stuff of dreams, from getting to cover the WSL from press boxes for to dissecting it with some truly brilliant mates and even on the BBC.

Just to save you a click, the writer admits within the first paragraph that he hasn’t watched a single minute of the Lionesses’ incredible campaign - but still obviously feels qualified to diminish their achievement.

I think there should be a Sheffield-specific election rule that your polling station has to be at the *bottom* of the hill, not the top. Why do I have to do a hike on probably the warmest evening of the year so far to vote

Sometimes I worry about not being able to pursue a journalism career I want/get onto my dream degree but then I remember Gavin Williamson is somehow in charge of my education and that makes me believe that anyone can do anything but also that our generation is absolutely screwed.

this is horrific - do not allow these conditions to continue. Cancel the charter flights, set up proper safe quarantine areas for detainees, offer them *actual* mental and physical health support, and better yet apologise and investigate.
