The Marriage Tax Allowance means you may be eligible to claim a £1,250 tax rebate, but an estimated 2.4 million married and civil-partnered couples are missing out.

Today has been emotionally exhausting. Asking a corporate partner to share our not so nice beginning & our growth together, reading about lived experience social orgs, and then a call to say I won't be applying for an award b/c they've supported shady ppl in the past. Whew. Rest.

At 21 and with no A Levels, my Sister took an Access to Legal Studies course, got into law school, & was called to the Bar in 2002, all as a single Mum. She’s just been appointed a Silk. It’s not how you start. It’s how you finish!! Nneka Akudolu QC… so, so proud 👏🏾👏🏾

Pia Klemp, a German biologist and boat captain with @seawatch_intl faces 20 yrs in prison. Her ‘crime’? Rescuing migrants at risk of drowning. Seeking asylum is a right, but 15% of people crossing from north Africa die at sea. We stand we all people who step up and help. #FreePia

For January, I'd love to connect with an aspiring freelance journalist to help them up the ladder - I'm thinking keeping in touch via WhatsApp and having monthly check-ins to see how I can help. If that's you, or someone you know, DM me - let's chat!
