This week we have an historic event and most people don’t know and don’t care. It will affect where you live, how you live and how your children are educated. Doesn’t make sense does it? Well it’s true. Philip Hammond is The Chancellor of The Exchequer. He controls the country’s finances and we are BROKE…

Isn’t it horrible when someone whose work you’ve admired for years turns out to be a turd ?💩. A bit strong? Well maybe but it is difficult to get away from the fact that Kevin Spacey isn’t a nice man. As Artistic Director of the Old Vic for a decade whilst still making wonderful films…

Ever ask yourself “what’s the matter with me?” I’m sat here in Leytonstone, having just done the school run, looking at a man steal food left by strangers for another man who is fast asleep beside an Argos. I am feeling anxious and miserable. But why? This week marks the 10th anniversary of my last…

For the first time since September 2014, I am seriously tempted to place a bet. Bookies are offering odds on 1-3, which means I get £1 for every 3 wagered. I know it doesn’t sound appealing but…(which is why I don’t gamble anymore) The upcoming fight between MMA fighter Conor McGregor and future Hall of…

The terrorists have done it again. Driving a hired van into innocent unsuspecting victims in Barcelona, like they had done in Nice, London, Berlin and Mumbai. Having to date taken the lives of 14 people and injuring 100, I am left to wonder whether as part of the media, I am actually helping so called…

Who says cheats don’t prosper? It wasn’t supposed to end like this. It was going be a coronation. A chance to say goodbye to the greatest athlete the world has seen; as he added yet another medal to his unparalleled collection. Gatlin’s real chance was in Beijing in 2015 but Usain found a way to…

It was the story that should never have been. The government’s red herring. A way to destabilise one of the most trusted and respected brands in Britain. Taking the focus off what’s happening with Brexit, public sector pay and a fantastic tactic for keeping our society’s chief inquisitor in check. Having said that, doesn’t “The…

This has always been on my bucket list. To jump from a plane and know the freedom of a bird or to bottle it at the last moment and head home in shame. In truth I didn’t have much choice the guy I was jumping with literally dragged me and jumped. It was amazing. If…

It was in February 2007 and I had lost loads of weight and was training for the London Marathon. I was training hard and felt and was looking good. There was just this one thing, this lump at the top of my thigh. I’d had it for about 6 weeks and thought it was a…

I’ve broadcast my drivetime show on three separate occasions from the scene of the Grenfell Tower disaster and strangely it was almost worse every time. The first was in the immediate aftermath, and it was heartbreaking. The building still smouldering. Hundreds of press descended likes ghouls feasting on the souls of the dead…. Family and…
