‘It’s a little sexy’ said @JennaBushHager and that’s what I’ll have on my CV and tombstone.
Delighted to announce that the @TODAYshow own #ReadWithJenna book club have picked my debut novel for June. Please preorder and hand me a box of tissues if you see me, I’ll be weeping.
A real pleasure to host the @centreforlondon housing summit yesterday. Still thinking about the radical solutions that were proposed and filled with a tiny little bit of hope.
We’re thrilled to have @writtenbysalma MC today’s conference.
Salma’s spoken to many within the housing space - Londoners, MPs, local governments, and many more. From this she said:
“The one thing everyone had in common, was that housing was irrevocably broken”

📣 I’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to step down from my @bbclondon breakfast show at the end of the year, despite a new contract offer, to focus on my second book, writing, and projects. Love to all at the station. I’ll genuinely miss it ❤️

Very special bonus episode of #LadyKillers coming on Monday! Join me, Professor @rosalindcrone and Salma El-Wardany @writtenbysalma as we rewrite the dictionary and more. Listen live on @bbcradio4 on Monday at 3.30pm and an extended cut appears on @bbcsounds the same day 😀
Very excited for this to air on Monday. Equally excited by the comments section and how many grumpy men are so very grumpy. All that freedom and power really does mess with their emotions. Poor dears. 😌

Great to speak to @writtenbysalma this morning on @BBCRadioLondon about what we heard from the Post Office inquiry last week - and what more we can expect in the coming days and weeks. You can listen back from 2 hours 10 mins in on this link. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0j6ky…

Good to talk to @BBCRadioLondon @writtenbysalma about our flawed stalking law. Confusing legislation leaves victims at risk as stalkers can evade justice. This is why I am calling for a standalone offence of stalking which will better protect victims.

the news:
- 3 women murdered by an ex with a crossbow
- Tampons have arsenic & lead in them
- 80% of all Autoimmune diseases in women due to the role they play societally
- Men abusing women goes up 38% when England lose
the internet:
has feminism gone too far?
Who in Downing Street thought, ‘Ah, I know what will make him look stately and appealing…rain.’
It’s not a Nicholas Sparks film folks. It does not work for politicians. The effect is not the same.
As a breakfast show host, there isn’t much that I will stay up late for. However, Operation Mincemeat - @mincemeatlive - I will happily lose sleep for.
Second time seeing it tonight and it remains the best thing on stage in the capital city.
You absolutely must go.

The pleasure was ours! ♥️✨
I have reached the pinnacle of London life and possibly my radio career. Thank you @RitzyCinema for featuring my breakfast show on the most iconic board in the capital. I will now be taking early retirement. 😌
