Automatic deportation is heartless 💔

For #ValentinesDay, we asked people about the policy removing people from the UK without automatic legal advice, including those born/raised here, survivors of torture & more.

How would you feel if this happened to someone you love?

I wish I could show you my Geordie accent that I’ve been perfecting whilst sick with Covid

Everytime I have Covid I perfect my almost perfect* Geordie accent

*can only say one sentence

Happy New Year!

Yes, the 4th of January is the start of my new year actually as I tested positive for Covid on the 1st and have only just stopped twitching in pain 🧡

Like this if you think I should have an almond croissant

I was engulfed in utter panic as I was reminded of all of the trauma associated with when I lost my rights to work/remain in the UK a couple of years ago. I moved to the UK as a child from the Netherlands and have indefinite leave to remain under EUSS.

I can’t get over how nice it is to actually interact with ppl on Bluesky. X had worn me down.

Hi Sooz! I’m glad I’ve managed to find you on here ❤️

Earlier this year, I was unfortunately the victim of a violent attack whilst out for a training run for the London Marathon. I had to take months off in order to recover from my emotional and physical injuries. I’m finally fully back online and everyone seems to have moved off Twitter! Well… hello 👋🏾

I’m v excited to be speaking in Vienna next month!

One summer at Cambridge I felt so ashamed of being poorer than my peers that I said I had spent the summer in St Tropez when actually I worked in Topshop

Now I get to travel the world as a journalist

Dreams do come true🎉

I am feeling v grateful today. Can't believe I came to the UK aged 10 speaking no English & then was homeless for years
Now I get to live out my dreams every day as a journalist in London & go running alongside these spectacular scenes
brb going to cry tears of joy x

On Saturday morning I was invited onto TalkTV for a “Head to Head” political debate

I assumed I would be debating the other panellist & not the host and co-host as well…

3 against 1 are unlikely odds but I’ve always backed the underdog so I won’t stop now 👋🏾

Very proud to have been on BBC Radio London yday

We discussed Rishi Sunak’s “U-turn” on the net zero pledges & the Chris Kaba shooting

Growing up, I didn’t see myself represented on mainstream media especially the political journalism arena so it was a very proud moment indeed…

I feel so seen

is this thing working? Psst

I started off my career in print & digital before moving towards making radio documentaries for the likes of BBCRadio4 and BBC World Service before making documentaries for BBC Panorama, ITV Tonight and Netflix!
