An early start today for a five hour round trip to Wigton where I shared my story at the staff event held by Cumberland Council These events have been so fun to be part of. Thank you all for being so welcoming and for the lovely messages I have received! 🌎👣 #worldatyourfeet

Absolute game changer of a book for me this, a few years ago. Prof Paul McGee was also one of the main reasons I began my speaking career. Since then, we have shared stages - what a privilege. Anyway, buy the book 😜 🌎👣 #worldatyourfeet

Last night we went to Doncaster CAST Theatre to watch our son, Daniel, perform with his Outwood Family school friends. Daniel is the small blonde lad for those who don’t know him 😊 I want to share it, as we are so proud. They deservedly won an award for this performance too. Enjoy!

Interesting take from the Tees Valley Mayor, who is under a Best Value (special measures) Notice himself and who presides over debts that will increase by over 100% this year to around £400m. Glass houses…

It was an early start to the week on Monday as I travelled across to Cumbria to speak at the Cumberland Safeguarding Children Partnership Conference. The feedback has been fantastic, thank you to all involved. 🌎👣 #worldatyourfeet

What a great day yesterday was! A 4am start, and a 9 hour, 500 mile round trip, but was worth it! I was booked to speak to at the North London Independent Schools Alliance Conference at the Marriott Hotel in Waltham Abbey. What a lovely audience. 🌎👣 #worldatyourfeet

Conservative Mayor of Tees Valley Lord Houchen told #Newsnight in 2024 that 2 private developers had ‘£50m of their money sitting in a bank account’ when I quoted an independent report pointing out the pair (Chris Musgrove & Martin Corney) had put no direct cash of their own into

Some *free* weekend reading: Private Eye Magazine special report on the Teesside regeneration scandal - the history, the deceptions and the transfer of hundreds of millions of pounds from the taxpayer to two businessmen - one now in Dubai - and their families and friends.

Last week was special. I was invited back to my school to deliver a talk to the students who have recently left Y11, along with their families. The evening was a celebration of successes, and it was an honour to share my story at Sacred Heart, Redcar 🌏👣 #worldatyourfeet
