    I enjoy this video so much. The strange American/Irish/Dutch accent. The two minutes of pure wired-guy-talks-about-meaning-of-life-in-smoking-area energy. The lack of explanation as to why they actually asked Liam Payne in the first place?? Amazing

    'I believe whatever he felt that he did, he had the right to do.' 'I had to leave my chair I'll be honest with you, it cut me really deep.' @LiamPayne reacts to the dramatic moment Will Smith hit comedian Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars for making a joke about his wife.

    Really happy to have received a Best Feature award for my piece on sexual assault at Warwick University - if you’ve been keeping up with campus news you’ll know it’s a persistent issue & rightful topic of discussion. so pleased that it’s received national recognition! #SPANC21

    I wrote about ‘sharking’ for @Refinery29UK & how the practise only acts to normalise sexual harassment and reinforce rape culture at U.K. universities. Thank you to @Victoria_Spratt for your commission & edits!

    And just like that… it’s done! My time as editor-in-chief of @WarwickBoar is officially over 😢 Joining the paper in my first year, I never imagined I would go on to lead it two years later - let alone pursue a career in journalism thanks to it.
