How do experienced professionals re-enter work after a career break? Returnships was the answer but in the cooling market, one of the few structured routes back to work is now shrinking. My latest for the @FT: ft.com/content/41683288-424e… #work #returnship #unemployment #uk #neets

I recently returned to the @FT as this year’s Maisie Hylton Fellow 😆 I’ll be learning the ins and outs of sub-editing as I rotate across desks. I’m really excited for this next stage of my career!✨

Christmas Day is the only opportunity these Essex villagers experience 'peace and quiet'... 😒 dailymail.co.uk/news/article… Was great stomping the grounds of Broxted, chatting with residents on what it is like to live on Stansted's flight path 🛬 #Stansted #Essex #housingmarket
