WRITER, BROADCASTER

About me

I am a London based writer and broadcaster where I live with my husband and three children. When I was a child I moved with my family to Johannesburg for 11 years and returned to England when I was 18 to go to University. In my professional career, I have written for and appeared on award winning shows and publications Spiked, TalkTV, the BBC, GB News, The Spectator and The Sun. I also have a newsletter. Please sign up to it here. I am a frequent guest panellist on the GB News Breakfast Show, Plank of the Week and The Spiked Podcast.

My academic background is in political theory and I am fascinated by people, ideas, technology, and how all these interact. I am also deeply passionate about free speech and have debated and written lots about free expression in the social media era. Please  check out my archive on Spiked and The SpectatorI like having frank debates, especially about subjects that are controversial or difficult. I want to hear what people genuinely think and that can only happen in an open culture with free speech and good faith discussion.
