Bit of a personal and professional life update... I got married!
The professional aspect being, while we’re still sorting out the deed poll documents, my wife and I are merging surnames, so moving forward I'll be adopting my new name of Harley Robertson-Cocks.
Handle updated accordingly 👌

The BBC needs to have a debate about whether Musk's outbursts should keep leading the news.
This isn't about censoring or suppressing his views; it's about whether to amplify them.
Most Brits aren't on X, they don't follow Musk & not every raving from a foreign plutocrat should set the news agenda
