Last week, I asked people whether they thought tracking their friends' location was normal. After dozens of chats, it turns out I'm in the minority of people who think it's a bit odd. Read their perspectives here in The i Paper inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…

After Kemi Badenoch's derogatory comments about migrant care workers, I spoke to Juliana Codjoe - who has been working as a carer for a decade on a zero-hours contract - about the day-to-day realities of her job. Read her story in The i Paper here: inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…

Paul Stephenson, the civil rights campaigner who led the Bristol bus boycott has died aged 87. He organised a boycott of the Bristol Omnibus Company which ended its policy of banning ethnic minorities from working on buses. RIP 🙏🏾
