When you’re at gym and no one realises you’re a Wicked fan blasting the soundtrack during workout 😅💚🖤

Thank you “No Good Deed” for powering me through these reps! 🔥🎶

I watched Wicked Part 1 THREE times in the cinema, so I’m getting myself fully prepped for Part 2 by living in this soundtrack 🪄✨

How do news programmes pick panellists for debates? 🤔🎤

Tomorrow Tuesday, 11:30–12:50pm, I’m on @jeremyandstormon5.bsky.social debating news. Producers look for panellists with different perspectives - makes the clash worthwhile ⚡️

My first time debating Cristo Foufas - hope we disagree! 😅

Wonderful to catch up with fellow West Ham ambassador Marlon Harwood and also Baroness Hoey.

Full circle moment🤩

I taught Soraya in Year 8 student. Now, our paths crossed again!

In my role as a West Ham education ambassador ⚒️, I was teaching primary maths at Bobby Moore Academy.

And guess who was Year 2 teacher?

Ms (Soraya) Oguz! Fantastic seeing her inspiring the next generation🍎📚

Unusual request:

As I grew up on a council estate in East London, a friend asked if I know some commonly known words/phrases that are considered "working class".

Any suggestions?

He asked me this question this week and it made me think 💭

How do you ask out someone you’ve just met at an event? 🤔

You know that moment when you feel a spark during a great chat? ✨
Lately, I’ve been getting braver - actually asking them out for coffee ☕️

But… I think my delivery still needs some serious work 😅

What is the role of university in society?

I'm taking part in a debate at US Fordham University's campus in London.

I'm sharing my perspective as an educator who has encouraged teenage students to consider higher education.
