I was assaulted by our Labour Party Candidate’s Mother

As I went through the door to much shouting from mother and aunt, I the mother raise her arm through the corner of my eye. The next thing I knew, I was struck on the back of the head. 

Flashback – 19 January 2013 – Women in the Labour Party

A revisit to a blog post I wrote in 2013. Are we doing enough to encourage women to join the labour party.

To my Jewish friends, I’m sorry for Labour letting you down over and over again.

I haven't written anything on this blog for quite a while now. This doesn't mean that I haven't had much to say but I just haven't felt like doing so. Been busy running and feeling pretty rubbish about it all. But then my beloved Labour Party went and opened the door to anti-Semites galore by …

My London 2012. 4 years on

Along with a lot of people, I genuinely cannot believe how quickly the last 4 years have passed by. My own Olympic journey began nearly 2 years before the Opening Ceremony, when I sent my application in to be a Gamesmaker. I had no idea if I'd even be accepted let alone what I would …

And Jeremy Is An Honourable Man

I've been umming and ahhing about this since Friday evening. And with a hangover caused by the events of Friday night, that's not been easy. I have no doubt that a few people will tell the another. All I can say is that the following is what happened. If others disagree, well, I guess you'll …

“Guest Feminist : Use your vote and don’t divorce Europe”

I've been a bit quiet on here for a while so I've handed the reins to someone who felt they had something to say about the EU Referendum but no safe space to place it. So I stepped in and offered a page. Please be kind to my guest contribution. Thank you. On Thursday, our …

For the last time, no I don’t think Jeremy Corbyn is an anti-Semite.

Because I’m tired of trying to fit my argument into less than 140 characters over and over again, I think it’s time to write what’s been bothering me for the past few days. I fully understand and expect that very few will share the same viewpoint as me. And I’d like to point out that …

Review – The Little Flower Shop By The Sea – Ali McNamara

Poppy Carmichael has landed up inheriting her grandmothers flower shop in the little cornish village of St Felix. She's not exactly the floral type, tending to wear full black clothing and tends to snap at anyone who tries to strike up conversation with her. She likes to be on her own and away from hoards …

Review: The Bone Clocks – David Mitchell

It's been about fifteen years since I last even attempted to write a review of a book that I had read. At least at school, it was pretty much out of public domain. Never to be commented on, only marked by a teacher. The most it would be seen would be if it was put …

12 young people die a week. Not enough says Committee.

The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) put out an announcement yesterday. They announced that we do not need to screen young people for risk of sudden cardiac death. That in their eyes, that the issue is not big enough. Never mind that at any moment, they might just have a cardiac arrest (which I now know differs from …
