For 2 months I have received online trolling when reporting on Hillingdon Council. Now, the council are making similar “bias” complaints - because they don’t like my scrutiny. Last week, I was blacklisted by the council - who now refuse to engage with me👇 mylondon.news/news/west-lond…
'Hillingdon Council is trying to cancel our reporter - they don't like scrutiny'

MyLondon is calling out the West London council's toddler tantrum in response to the excellent journalism of our Hillingdon Local Democracy Reporter whose job it is to hold them to account

This award truly means a lot to me. I'm honoured to play a part in bringing attention to stories that too often go unheard. Being surrounded by such talented people from across the industry made the evening even more special! #CBJawards

In 2022 I wasted far more of December than I care to admit trying to build a Tracy Island like I made 30 years before... It's almost Christmas, so it's being rolled out again (because there's no way I'm making a new one) cambridge-news.co.uk/news/hi… cambridge-news.co.uk/news/hi…

This one minute video encapsulates exactly what I regularly experience when I voice an opinion on football. I long for the day I’m not afraid to say something because of backlash for just being a woman. Thank you @JillScottJS8 @GNev2 and @Heineken for highlighting this further.

Secrets out! Last season, @Heineken asked me to swap socials with @GNev2 to show gender bias on social media. It was fun for me but I think less so for Gary 😂. This season, let’s give sexism the red card, and let’s keep football opinions about football!⚽ #fresherfootball
