I was first stopped and searched by police when I was 16 on suspicion of kidnap. Since 2003 I’ve been stopped almost 30 times. I’ve written about those interactions and what I’ve learnt during my time on the crime beat @thetimes.

Interviewed Andy Serkis, who talked about cancel culture, AI, being asked to do Gollum impressions, and what he hopes for his new play. Woody Harrelson gatecrashed the conversation briefly too. He was wearing sliders and socks with cannabis-leaf patterns. https://t.co/CU7a2GlzJW
