It was a true honour to be presented with the Diana Legacy Award alongside 19 other young leaders from across the world. To be considered by the judges as someone who has built upon Princess Diana’s iconic legacy is truly humbling. Thank you @DianaAward for such an amazing week.

So schools will close on Friday and exams are cancelled. BUT simply saying that ‘young people will get the qualifications they need’ is not good enough. This is a stressful enough time for GCSE and A-alevels students. Greater clarification about their grades is needed ASAP.

I self-isolated in my uni room without fresh air & at a significant mental cost to do my part. Everyday it becomes clearer that it is one rule for those in power and another for us. This is Government-by-public-outrage, it reacts to outcry instead of leading from the front. Weak.

#GiveAnX #NVRD made it into 73 news publications and outlets today. 73. I’m in shock. This was just a vision shared by young people across the country. And now it’s a reality. THANK YOU ALL #RegisterToVote @mylifemysay @iwill_movement @ShapeHistory

A lotta cool stuff happened this year but for me, 2021 will forever be remembered as the year I interviewed Jackie Weaver. Hope that you all have an amazing & safe night with your loved ones. Happy Happy New Year and here’s to a phenomenal 2022 🥂

My career has peaked before it’s even started. I can’t believe this is happening. Join me and THE Jackie Weaver this Friday afternoon to discuss all things politics, kindness and young people for @DianaAward . Not one to miss. Time to read up on them standing orders...

Just completed a 10 hour day of back to back meetings - the joys of being a voluntary young chief exec. New partnerships, strategy planning and even an article in a national newspaper. Off for a nap now!

@OwenJones84 I’ll never forget my conversations with young trans groups. The things they’re forced to endure on a daily basis are unparalleled. Some of the strongest people I’ve ever met.

Thank you so much to everyone who joined our #LeadersOfTomorrow event this evening. Our incredible panellists @metecoban92 @Noga_LR @iambenwest @_GabiBello_ left us feeling so inspired. I’m so proud of the completely youth-led @YPUK_ team for absolutely smashing it. More to come!

It was a pleasure to question @Keir_Starmer on democratic engagement and issues facing young people in light of Covid-19. I was impressed by his detailed answers & his calls for a young people’s Job Fund and Votes at 16. Many thanks to @iwill_campaign @mylifemysay @UKYouth

I’ve never felt more passionate about ensuring that young people are at the heart of power. And that these systems are reformed accordingly. Every great question in these fringes come from young people. They have so much to contribute. If only they were listened to.
