Thereโs this idea that journalists are only โlegitimateโ if theyโre above a certain age.
Iโm not an expert on everything, but I do have knowledge and experience.
I shouldnโt have to defend my credentials to online trolls who think Iโm โtoo youngโ to know what Iโm talking about.

My age is often used to suggest that Iโm unqualified to discuss politics.
I worked in Parliament for two years.
I write for national news outlets.
I speak from experience, not guesswork.
Youth doesnโt always equal inexperience.

Incredibly pleased the Government is taking action on something I have been concerned about for some time.
We must have a zero tolerance approach to those who carry dangerous weapons, and this will be welcome news to people across West Bromwich.

Shameless Sandwell Labour - no suprise that they want to make you pay to have your bin replaced.
Even if itโs stolen.
They arenโt on your side.

Tackling poverty and climate change comes at a cost. Reforming multilateral development banks could unlock the huge sums we need to help meet todayโs biggest challenges. My piece in today's @Telegraph: telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/04โฆ

A Labour government would freeze your council tax this year, funded by a proper windfall tax on oil and gas giants.
