The Ballon d'Or is more valuable than ever, and recent reports suggest plenty of PR work goes on behind the scenes in the run-up to the event
For @BritishGQ I spoke to @Jon_LeGossip @NealGardner_ & others about the fight for football's most prestigious individual award
After a marketing agency contacted a journalist offering money in exchange for positive social media posts about a nominee, we explore what actually goes on behind-the-scenes in the battle for the Ballon d'Or gq-magazine.co.uk/article/th…

With venue closures soaring and purse strings tightening, UK nightlife is in crisis.
For @theleaduk I sampled the scenes in two cities — Brighton and Leicester — at opposite ends of the spectrum, asking: what is the future of UK nightlife?

Sparked by a recent @CapitalonTap report on UK nightlife, I visited pubs, clubs, and bars in Brighton & Leicester, speaking to venue owners, musicians, and lots of punters🪩
@musicvenuetrust @ntiaofficial @DownsCamra @concorde_2 @fortunebrighton @FirebugBar @2funkymusiccafe
I spent a glorious weekend at We Out Here catching UK music legends like @Bashy @PA_SALIEU_ & @AbaShantiISound

The Premier League returns today, and with it, Fantasy Football.
But the proliferation of FPL gurus & stats nerds means it’s harder for casual players to compete than ever. For @GQMagazine I asked: is it all worth it?

Still looking to speak to people for this article, if you've got strong opinions on #FPL I'd love to hear from you! (whatever those opinions may be)
Are you a casual #FPL player who struggles to compete with friends who follow FPL pros/stats gurus?
If so I’d love to speak to you for a piece I’m working on, please message if you’re interested #FPLCommunity #journorequest

If you've cancelled your Spotify subscription due to CEO Daniel Ek funding AI military software, I'd love to speak to you for a story I'm working on. Give me a shout #journorequest #boycottspotify

On @kaetempest’s fifth studio album ‘Self Titled’, we're plunged deeper into his personal life than ever before. It’s a beefy, self-assured celebration of newfound identity. Read NME’s full 4-star review: nme.com/reviews/album/kae-te…

For @MusicRadar I dived into the making of Kendrick Lamar's seminal record 'To Pimp A Butterfly' 10 years on from its release, and had a good chat with @yousefsrour about why it's such a special album

Across England’s east coast, deprived towns like Great Yarmouth are turning to Reform. In this feature for @theleaduk I headed to GY to speak to locals about why that is, and explore what the future holds for this town and others like it
