Goodbye, dear friend.
Today, I say goodbye not just to one of the UK’s greatest investigative journalists, but to a dear friend, a trusted ally, and a man who helped change history.
I first contacted Andrew Norfolk in 2013. Together, we exposed the Rotherham child abuse scandal — a truth buried for far too long. That moment changed our lives forever and reshaped how the UK tackles child sexual exploitation.
Andrew wasn’t just a journalist; he was a man of integrity and compassion who supported me through the darkest moments of my life. We went on to expose many government agencies together — including in 2018, when Rotherham Council and the family courts invited my rapist to apply for custody of my son. Andrew was the only person I trusted to share my son’s story with — and to expose the government for allowing it to happen. This was happening to women across the UK, and he helped me shine a light on it.
We stood side by side through many investigations, challenging the systems that failed the most vulnerable. Andrew didn’t just report — he gave survivors a voice and forced institutions to face the truth.
It was an honour to work with him — and an even greater honour to call him my friend.
Rest in peace, Andrew.
Your legacy lives on — in every child protected, every victim heard, and every injustice brought to light.
I’ll keep fighting — for truth and for justice. 💔
@mrdanwalker It’s quite simple, open an application phase, collect the data, clean for any robots and duplicate applications and run a lottery. All major events do it like that. #ticketmasterfail@Ticketmaster

Me: ok no problem
Ticketmaster: I know you’ve been logged on for over an hour but we are going to chuck you out now and not let you back in. Sorry about that
@oasis@Ticketmaster@Twickets@TicketmasterUK have failed! This will flood the black market and lots of people will make a lot of money, leaving genuine fans without a chance!
UK has the biggest ever working population
And the highest taxation levels since WW1
Yet we have collapsing services
Nothing is working properly
Roads are crumbling
NHS & schools are struggling
Where is all the money going?

The Earth is almost never shown like this, and in the meantime, this is our planet from the side of the Pacific Ocean 🌊.
One side of the Earth is almost completely covered with water (the Pacific), while landmass is almost all on the other side.
@maxrushden@guardian_sport@bglendenning @jonathanliew @_JordanJBryan Curious to know if Steve Cooper will get sacked when he inevitably complains about the lack of backing from the board following this drumming from City
😬 “The main reason why no one turns around the club is the ownership.”
❌ “The only club that haven’t really back their manager is #MUFC…”
👀 “The Glazers are watching their empire crumble in front of them.”

.@ZelenskyyUa's tv address to the Russian (!) people might be the most moving speech that I've ever seen in my entire life. The whole world needs to see, understand and share this crucial Ukrainian message.
