For anyone stuck on a cramped tube this morning, please know that there's another way. I walked to work through as many parks as I could for @TelegraphTravel and discovered what REALLY makes London one of the world's greatest cities 🌲🌱🌳 telegraph.co.uk/travel/activit…

I am so proud of this article. The first generation of LGBT people to grow old openly and with dignity; to share the stories of these men means the world to me. It was a huge honour. Thanks to @age_uk for helping organise! Free to read too! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 telegraph.co.uk/christmas/2023…

@GrayBrilin @jacksayspurple (Sorry for my slow response - the notification didn't come through on my main account) - thanks for reading, glad you enjoyed it! I have absolutely no doubt that dog-seats already exist at some restaurant or another out there. Grim. 😬

I have set up an alt-account with a more reputable username, just on the off-chance I become a celebrity. Also hopefully it will distract trolls who hate the things I write! Give me a follow over at @JackEORear

@raymondcurran @Telegraph @ChargePlaceScot @ESBecars Sorry Raymond, I've just seen this. Glad you enjoyed the piece! My experience sounds much like yours, I definitely enjoyed driving it and mostly fine, it was just the frustrations in remote communities and parts of Scotland that kept me from being able to fully recommend it.

@JackEORear Piece in @Telegraph resonated. In trying to do my bit with an EV (broadly happy, btw) it is a continued frustration to even plot across NI. Like @ChargePlaceScot , @ESBecars , lovely to talk to on the phone (we are almost mates now) take the money without any service

Delighted by the response to this story. Philip's story has resonated with so many readers. It just goes to show that homelessness isn't as far away as some people would like to tell themselves. If the story does resonate, please do consider donating to @Shelter
Jack Rear🏳️‍🌈@jacksayspurple

It's been revealed that rough sleeping is at an 8-year low (mostly due to emergency pandemic responses) but it still happens. I spoke to Philip Cunliffe, who went from making £55,000pa to living in his car, about how homeless can happen to anyone @Shelter telegraph.co.uk/family/life/we…

I tend to get a bit weary of listening to the tiresome Woke Vs Boomer narrative 🙄 So, I wrote a piece about how not every young person fits the "woke" mould so often assumed. Read all about it here or in today's @Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/family/life/wo…

I'm delighted and honoured that @chrisevans1 gave this article a little shout-out in his From The Editor newsletter today. I'm very proud of it and the feedback has been incredible so far. It's been humbling to hear how many have been inspired by my story. telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness…

I used to love map-reading and orienteering as a child, and relying on an OS map has got me out of many scrapes as an adult. I spoke with @Scoutsscarter on why these classic Scouting skills are still important even for the smartphone generation telegraph.co.uk/family/life/to…

Physical and verbal abuse from customers and colleagues, rampant sexism, terrible pay and awful conditions; who'd work in hospitality these days? This piece is generating a lot of comment and rightly so, these issues desperately need to be addressed. telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink…

[THREAD: a cute story that bought me a smile.] A few weeks ago I contributed a little piece on how awful it is to be a teenager in the countryside. It's boring, it's annoying, and you have to get your parents to drive you everywhere. Here is that piece: telegraph.co.uk/family/parenti…

I am really proud to have written this fantastic piece about what life online is actually like for teenagers. It really made me think about the type of teen I was online (it was not the good kind) telegraph.co.uk/family/life/wi…
