On 18 January, I will be the complainant in a public hearing in front of the trade union regulator after my union (the FBU) refused me access - unlawfully - to accounting records detailing secret payments to senior officials. Members of the public may view the hearing on Zoom.⬇️

Item on mental health on BBC this morning. A good time to share this incredibly honest & thought provoking video from Dave Waterman, who is a veteran of both the British Army and Fire service. Proud to have him as a PhD student. Some upsetting content. youtube.com/watch?v=im4Mjq…

Getting a PhD takes around 6 years and stipends range from 15-30k a year on average

Clown college is 8 weeks and a clown salary is around 45-56k a year on average

What have I done…

Covid is a major threat to us, they said. You might kill granny if you don't follow our instructions, they said. You mustn't visit dying loved ones, they said.

Then they held a shindig, clinked glasses and lauged at us all.

The government has lost all moral authority.

After many years in mothballs, the LFB Boxing Club now breathes again. Time to rumble.

Quite a day for #ViolenceAgainstWomen . #SarahEverad and #SabinaNessa who just happened to be out at night, killed by men. 133 years ago today, the same thing happened to Elizabeth Stride and Kate Eddowes.
How many more times? How many more victims?

#OTD in 1916, Manfred von Richthofen shot down his first enemy plane, killing Tom Rees who'd just become captain on the same day. Credited with 80 air victories, Richthofen would become one of the most famous fighter pilots of all time and went down in history as the Red Baron.

Reality check. British heroes returning from Afghanistan. Real heroes, not overpaid Footballers, Actors or reality soap stars.

Whilst all our thoughts are in Afghanistan today, Northern Ireland Veterans I will not forget my commitments to you too. Pleased to join thousands of fellow Veterans in London today. Thanks for all the kindness ❤️‍🩹 #change

Enough is enough. It's time for the FBU leadership to face the music over the serious allegations regarding secret payments of 'hush money' at the union's head office. This scandal isn't going away. ⬇️

Show them you mean it, and fund the Office for Veterans Affairs properly.

You’ll all have seen his picture - this guy is my friend. Chatted to him tonight. He epitomises the Airborne spirit. The day the UK ditches her Airborne and Commando Forces in pursuit of the latest fad, will be a dark day indeed.

Bailing the UK Government out, since…

Sea puppy!!

Revealing most of my PhD research occurs from a supine position with assistance from my best mate might not have been my finest of hours.
