Data journalist with @radar_aiuk/@PA Often seen shouting loudly at some kind of sport in a pub
Sheffield, United Kingdom
Joined December 2012
I went to @villagemancfc for @thesetpieces to delve into what it's like being an openly gay and inclusive Sunday league club, the apparent need for a gay professional player, and how the LGBT community can fit into the machismo world of football

Great to see my analysis of the latest NHS figures into mixed-sex wards hit the national papers this morning. #DataJournalism
Our latest investigation by @a_dowdeswell into the mixed-sex accommodation figures shows NHS Trusts broke a rule banning mixed-sex wards nearly 50,000 times last year. Here it is in the @Telegraph this morning.

Great to see @clara_margotin get her first story published on the @radar_aiuk wire -- and on such an important topic. Children's severe absence rate has surged during the coronavirus pandemic, and the Government is being urged to act.

Very sad to lose Marieta, but we wish you all the best. Hope the fleece lives on
After almost a hundred stories and millions of words published, today marks my last day at @radar_aiuk. I’m grateful for the incredible team that helped me grow in the past year - I've covered various topics, scored my first bylines and splashes, and picked up a few excel tricks.
