We've had a look at support for @reformparty_uk and the potential impact of @Nigel_Farage's return. We find that there are a lot of similarities to UKIP in 2015! This is also the second video that I've put together for @BESResearch, so hopefully you enjoy!

One of the nicest, most incredible people in the Manchester PhD environment has got some recognition for the role that he played in making it a brilliant place to study and work. Congratulations Kenn!

To everyone in my comments, going out of their way to say a graphic of my achievements is disrespectful to mens players. Not a single person is comparing our careers, except you. We are one nation, playing one sport. Celebrating Cymru success together. #TogetherStronger
