Man detained after car hits pedestrians at Liverpool FC parade, police say Merseyside Police say they're responding to reports of a car colliding with pedestrians on Water Street. It is not yet clear if anyone is injured.

Awful scenes in Liverpool. A car has collided with Liverpool fans celebrating their Premier League victory. Thoughts are with anyone caught up in this.

Despite the miserable face (it's a natural look), I'm happy to be back in the 5-Live #newsroom popping up with the #news in-between a big afternoon of sport in the #EFL.

I love the idea of a board supporting their manager & looking to the future. It's refreshing. But Evatt has lost the backing of the most fans. The players are not performing; many of the players have lost the backing of the fans. Next, it will be the board unless they act. #bwfc

Enjoyed sharing my thoughts at the Association For Journalism Education Winter Conference today.

My presentation looked at how those working in both industry and academia can play a massive role in bridging the gap between #academia and #industry. It was great to hear from other speakers too.

That's my #news reading at BBC 5-Live done for 2024. Looking back, I've covered some big stories over the last 12 months, and these last three days haven't eased up, ending with breaking the news about the death of #JimmyCarter. Time for a break before returning in 2025.

Last shift before Christmas. I'm reading the #news on 5-Live. A little out of breath for the first headlines having broken a golden rule; do not run in a #newsroom before the bulletin 😬 A little out of breath.

Graduated with my postgraduate certificate in Academic Practice.

It's helped shape my teaching, introducing me to different pedagogies; scholarship research; and much more.

I've also met some great colleagues from across the @universityofleeds.bsky.social who share my love of creative practice.
