Away from the noise of political punditry, if you want to read something on the US election (and speech writing), let it be this. @prempanicker, in his unique style. open.substack.com/pub/prempanick…

Speaking of #Labour wins in #Bournemouth, is it really surprising? Indications were always there. Like the Conservatives' allergy to poll debates. A rip-roaring take from a debate @bournemouthuni where @JessicaToale @TomHayesBmouth etc had a field day. bu-breaker.shorthandstories.com/pitch-perfect/…

So @JessicaToale toppled @ConorBurnsUK fair and square, ensuring a historic #Labour presence in #Bournemouth. Seems like she really wasn't daunted by the male domination of politics, as she said in a Q&A from campaign trail on @BUBreaker. thebreaker.co.uk/im-not-particu… #UKElection2024

It has begun, the Zombie apocalypse. At the Old Fire Station and Lansdowne, a major #emergency response exercise organised by @Bournemouthuni is underway. Here's @BUBreaker journalist Gokul Aaandh scoring the first interview of the day. #MentalHealth #Education #Journalism

Could I BE more proud? The Hosts, @BournemouthUni's audio documentary, first aired on @HopeFM, has just won the 2023 @CommRadioAwards for News, Journalism & Factual Storytelling. Here's Affiong Bassey, the lead reporter and presenter, from the venue. @VCJohnVinney #BUProud

Reported across nearly a year by Affiong Bassey, @charlotteAlbutt, Aman Singh Gandhi and Delya Apsari, it first aired on 90.1 @HopeFM radio on 24 February 2023, the first anniversary of the Ukraine invasion. #BUProud #FusionForEver

It weaves together the stories of Kelly, Owen, Carol, Judy, and Helen, who, against a backdrop of parochial political narratives and criticisms of selective empathy, chose to take affirmative action during a time of crisis.
