One of the best books I've ever read about Bloody Sunday, The Troubles or Derry itself. It bursts with the personality of the city and its people, living and lost; not just their pain but their humour, their dignity. It is a miraculous achievement. You simply must read this book.

A friend’s just told me his kids’ school WhatsApp spent Christmas embroiled in a week-long debate over whether Elf on the Shelf constitutes surveillance culture. So PARENTS, I'm asking: what’s the wildest, weirdest or worst you’ve experienced in the dreaded groupchat?

Fresh off filleting Lord Lebedev, Miles Ellingham and Cormac Kehoe turn their attentions to Justin Welby: the man who buried a queen, crowned a king, and tore a church apart. Phenomenal profile of the worst Archbishop in centuries. the-fence.com/speaking-in-sm…

This is the third long-form profile Cormac Kehoe and I have written. It might be our best so far, at least, I think it's our largest in scope, probably our longest. Have a read The Fence Magazine the-fence.com/speaking-in-sm…

If a 2-year-old girl from any white nation was shot dead by any other army it would be all over Western news for days. Palestinians, though, don't matter.

Possibly my favourite piece from The Fence Magazine #22 is now online: voracious reader on a misspent youth, forming allegiences and forging his identity, while toiling in the torrid gossip mines of a Big Brother forum. the-fence.com/day-1509-in-th…

Can't explain why but I need my half time analysis done in a studio. It's just not the same when they do it pitchside. It bums me out. It's not the real thing. It's sleeping on a plane, it's having lunch at your desk.

A piece I wrote for the last issue of The Fence Magazine is now online! It’s about a time in which I, as a young teen, found myself engulfed in the social politics of a Big Brother forum. It’s also about some of the people I met on there & how they shaped me the-fence.com/day-1509-in-th…

Some time ago, you might recall I experienced the worst thing that can happen to a person. I'm finally ready to talk about it. My Toddler Smashed Our TV: A Survivor's Story. (Photo writer's own) theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

This week, I try and fail to pick a side in the ever-tedious 'helicopter' vs 'free-range' parenting debate. I do probably coddle my children, but would I ever be brave enough to stop? theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
