[Samantha Smith @SamanthaTaghoy]

There’s this idea that journalists are only “legitimate” if they‘re above a certain age.

I’m not an expert on everything, but I do have knowledge and experience.

I shouldn’t have to defend my credentials to online trolls who think I’m “too young” to know what I’m talking about.

[Samantha Smith @SamanthaTaghoy]

My age is often used to suggest that I’m unqualified to discuss politics.

I worked in Parliament for two years.
I write for national news outlets.
I speak from experience, not guesswork.

Youth doesn’t always equal inexperience.

Incredibly pleased the Government is taking action on something I have been concerned about for some time.

We must have a zero tolerance approach to those who carry dangerous weapons, and this will be welcome news to people across West Bromwich.

Shameless Sandwell Labour - no suprise that they want to make you pay to have your bin replaced.
Even if it’s stolen.

They aren’t on your side.

Tackling poverty and climate change comes at a cost. Reforming multilateral development banks could unlock the huge sums we need to help meet today’s biggest challenges. My piece in today's @Telegraph: https://t.co/41XlRTkf3m

#OTD in 1865, President Abraham Lincoln died in Washington, DC, a day after being shot at @FordsTheatreNPS by a confederate sympathizer who, despite being prime military age, had chosen not to serve in either army during the just-ended #CivilWar. #ConfederateHeritageMonth

The Labour Party coming out with nonsense once again…

💷⬇️ Only @Conservatives councils deliver excellent services at lowest possible cost, typically £80/year cheaper than Labour.

[Lincoln Belongs To The Ages @Mr_Lincoln]

Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States, dies at 7:22 a.m. today in 1865. A gentle rain is falling in Washington. People comment that even the heavens are weeping. #AbrahamLincoln

#OTD in 1865, President Abraham Lincoln died after being shot while watching a play at Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C.

President Hayes loved Lincoln and had several Lincoln items in the Hayes Home. You can see them when you visit
