Hi there, I'm a journalist covering this story for LBC. Can I get permission to use this image - full credit will be given to you. Thank you!
As someone who lives minutes from where Sarah Everard disappeared, I've now abandoned my daily evening walk, a vital part of my lockdown routine. It's saddening that, as a female in 2021, it remains necessary to forgo something so fundamental because of a threat we can't control.

They're only on an empty beach because everyone else has followed the rules in order to save the lives of swathes of the population. It's not fun taking orders and being cooped up inside, but it's the unselfish thing to do - one that saves lives.
It's safe to say that interviewing Brad Pitt - whilst wearing pyjama bottoms and with no makeup on - wasn't part of today's plan. But hey, when life gives you lemons...

My support bubble has been the only thing keeping me (questionably) sane over recent months. Inhumane is indeed the only way to describe it.
Now, that's not to say that I agree with her decision, but it suddenly made countless points put forward by
@MaajidNawaz
in recent weeks abundantly clear. So many details involving US political candidates have failed to be highlighted by media platforms on this side of the pond.

I have to admit, it surprised me. However, after sitting & listening to her reasoning on permanent issues for over an hour, it absolutely made sense. It also made me aware of the issues that aren't being spoken about and how easy it is to enhance a villainous image.

I had a similar experience when I dared to call out a man making suggestive comments outside a shop one evening. His primalistic anger at the rejection (and the implication that I should be grateful for such comments) was utterly shocking.

I grew up living next door to her. She used to sleep in a full face of make-up for fear of dying during the night and being found in an 'indecent' state. As it turned out, she reaped the benefits of her cautious ways as she ultimately died in her sleep.
📢I'm going freelance! After two and a bit years & hundreds of junkets, today's my last day at PA as a features writer. My inbox is open for commissions, shifts & I'd love to pitch to any editors that'll have me! (ent, culture & sport) 👇

These Christian Horner messages are reminiscent of your middle aged vanilla dad attempting to be ‘sexy’ and seduce a much younger woman with far too many selfies.
I spent the weekend chatting with a very level-headed American friend about the recent US election. She usually flip-flops between Republicans and Democrats depending on current policy, however, she admitted to me that she voted for Trump this time around.
Today I had my first shift at BBC Sport. It's taken me a long time to realise that writing about your passions as a side hustle is no bad thing. You don't have to box yourself in because you specialise in a certain area, particularly when those hobbies & passions GIVE YOU LIFE.
Some personal news 🚨 (everyone's at it this week) I'm excited to be joining

The National Aquarium of New Zealand instagram account which primarily features misbehaving penguins or, failing that, Reddit relationships thread (the twitter account that lifts the strangest questions is also a suitable substitute).
Aurora Borealis. Imagine venturing to Iceland in search of it, finding yourself thousands out of pocket, only for Mike at number 42 to catch it on his iPhone in the back garden.
Tonight I spoke to Steven Spielberg about West Side Story and he ended the interview by complimenting me on my questions. I know he likely says it to every journalist but I couldn't care less right now. I'm a walking Cheshire Cat.

Not sure I'd be able to track down the agent. He was an ex-psychologist who was living in exile in the home counties after being hunted by the Kyrgyzstan government for decoding state propaganda (this is not a joke).

Sure, tactics come into it, but fans don't watch F1 to see highly tuned beasts of machines run at 70% capacity in order to preserve tyres and make it to the checkered flag.

: I've always found the Northern line going northbound from Euston rather forgiving. You've got one stop to consider your train choice before you veer off in the wrong direction from Camden Town and find yourself filled with regret.
Rent-a-cricketer, anyone? Today, by chance, I found myself partaking in my first game of cricket (after being a spectator for nearly a decade) when a friend took a ball to the chin. Touched the ball once, stopped a boundary, I'll take that 💪

Finding great looking sports bras when you're above a D-cup can be something of a nightmare, which is why I did the leg work, so you don't have to (and I mean that quite literally, there was plenty of mileage involved in this

Making the front page tastes just as sweet the second time around. Clarkson on farming, avocados and how you can't change the mind of a vegan

RIP Meat Loaf. Bat Out Of Hell was my dad's PR launchpad upon first moving to London and it's safe to say I probably wouldn't be here were it not for the success of that album. Cheers to an absolute maniac of a musician.

finale, the sadder it makes me. It's never been a particularly exciting circuit in terms of overtaking opps etc but $$$ talks in F1. The safety car decision felt like it was made for entertainment & not in line w/ the spirit of the sport.

"Having a strop" is utterly condescending language. Guessing you'd have no problem saying that to any male driver - Verstappen when he kicked off at Ocon in Brazil maybe?

I once asked a white van man who wolf whistled at me what he wanted from me? Declare my unyielding love? Dive through his open window? So I ran at his van and stopped just before launching myself through the open window. Needless to say the look on his face was priceless.
Saka, Rushford, Sancho. The three lions who stepped up for us and carried an unimaginable weight on their shoulders. Now it's time we stand for them. What were you doing for your nation at the age of 19?
All women have the right to feel safe. All humans have the right to feel safe. Our value, the importance of our words and our fundamental safety aren't inextricably linked to the men in our life. And don't get me started on politicising a suspected murder.
As a father and husband it breaks me to think that my wife and daughter have to live in fear in their own city.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
As Mayor, I‘ll ensure that we are working to deliver for the safety of women and girls in London.
Transcribing an interview with a British television presenter and Otter has translated "I was all over the frosted tips" as "I was all over the prostitutes". Now that could've been a pricey mistake.
Just managed to get in contact with a friend in the Ukraine after radio silence. The relief is unimaginable. These are normal people, from all walks of life, just trying to live.
I want your recommendations on sports bras for bigger boobs. Not specifically mine, but if that entertains you, so be it - happy Thursday! GO!

Operation rehab starts here. 8 weeks after a disc herniation, losing the use of my leg and subsequent spinal surgery, I'm back on a bike (albeit stationary) for the first time.
It might be the slowest workout of my life but I've never grinned so much in my life.

I'm overjoyed to say that after a year of being unable to finish a book, that 'pang' of excitement has returned and I've just nailed two in a week. My god, how glorious it is.
Had the privilege of watching Get Back yesterday with my dad, who was on the rooftop that day and interviewed as part of the series. What a time to be alive. The candid moments shared by Paul and Linda. The silly voices, accents and incessant giggling. Pure, unadulterated joy.
