I wonder if Andover are proud of their MP right now?

[Mike Abbott @MikeAbbott2]

On radio right now a government minister called Kit Malthouse making all sorts of excuses why police forces don't treat attacks on women the same as they do for terrorism. Shocking!

I will still be doing freelance music journalism and hopefully touring a bit when possible. But for now my focus is on starting a new career at the age of 32

[Tim Birkbeck @Journo_TimB]

Since I graduated in 2010 I’ve worked in journalism in some capacity whether that be freelance, for the amazing papers I’ve worked for or off my own back. However, on Monday I start a new journey working in the charity sector for an amazing anti-racism organisation (1/2

Throughout lockdown I’ve been trying to figure out what I want to do with life, and helping those less fortunate is something I feel passionate about. I’m excited / nervous about this next chapter but it’s time for a change

[Tim Birkbeck @Journo_TimB]

Yesterday I witnessed first hand how amazing the NHS is. The fact that staff are still so under paid and the government don’t feel it right to fund correctly is frankly an embarrassment

Can someone explain to me how this is a good decision?

UK ‘rejected offer’ of visa-free tours by musicians in EU, despite blaming Brussels for permit blow https://t.co/t12VlKY9jY

Getting to interview my heroes is one of the reasons I got into journalism

These journalists should be ashamed of themselves

[MR @MarcusRashford]

Ok, so let’s address this. I’m 23. I came from little. I need to protect not just my future but my family’s too. To do that I made a decision at the beg of 2020 to start investing more in property. Please don’t run stories like this alongside refs to ‘campaigning’.

Well said @emily_s_roberts the amount of times I’d get stupid comments from people was ridiculous

Kev was always a really kind person to me when I was starting out covering non-league football. Such a hard working writer. Happy retirement mate

Many thanks to @krickettsk for all his hard work on non-league football, rugby and cricket for the @portsmouthnews down the years. A wonderful work colleague and a good friend too. Happy retirement, Kev.
