Leonie Hughes was written off by the education system at 15. Growing up in a home shaped by instability and addiction, she left school with no qualifications and no clear path forward.
Now, after a decade of self-teaching, working low-paid jobs, and fighting for every step of her education, she has been called to the Bar.

Squats. Absolute waste of time for straight men. They gave me enormous legs relative to my upper body, wide birthing hips and an absurd big momma ass. The damage was permanent. I was told they'd make me "strong overall" but this was a lie. Only women and homosexuals should squat

During a conversation with #MsBanks on her podcast, #GraceAjilore said she prefers genuinely kind men over wealthy ones, adding that men in the UK with money often come across as “greedy”🤑👀
Residents, can you relate to her claim?🤔

This is utterly horrific. The body-worn footage is damning—huge questions for the police. 😮
@BBCNews suggests clear collusion between MET & @NorthantsPolice to hide evidence!
Massive respect to brave Nadine Buzzard-Quashie and @JonIronmonger’s journalism.
Heads must roll.

A mum-of-three was killed in a high-speed collision with a police car being driven 'dangerously' by a specialist GMP officer during a chase with another motorist, a jury heard.
PC Mark Burrows, 46, has gone on trial accused of causing the death of Heather Smedley, 53, by dangerous driving. He denies the charge.
Mrs Smedley, Chester Crown Court was told on Tuesday (April 28) died at the scene of the crash - at Oldham Road's junction with Otmoor Way in Royton, Oldham - two days before Christmas in December, 2022.
Mr Burrows, who was described as a serving police constable with Greater Manchester Police, was in pursuit of a suspected stolen Audi A3 at the time, jurors were told. He was on duty in a 'high-powered', unmarked Volkswagen Golf R and was a member of GMP's Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit.
Jonathan Sandiford KC, opening the case to the jury, said police driving guidelines reference the possibility of 'red mist' descending during pursuits. There is a risk, he said, of a police driver 'becoming so focused' on catching a target that they 'become blind and lose sight of the potential hazards and risks'.
He said Mrs Smedley was 'making her way home' at the time and was turning right in a Peugeot 108 off Oldham Road into Otmoor Way at the time of the crash having used her indicators.
Mr Sandiford said: "The prosecution say that during the course of that pursuit, the defendant drove his vehicle dangerously. The prosecution say that the way that the defendant drove fell far below what is to be expected of a competent and careful police officer who had undertaken driver training.”
"It would have been obvious that driving in the way he did would be dangerous."
Mr Sandiford alleged Mr Burrows' driving fell 'far below' that of what would have been expected of a 'careful and competent' constable. The jury was taken through Mr Burrows' police driver training course records. There was an 'advanced driver reassessment' completed just two months before the collision, jurors were told.
Mr Sandiford said the courses were 'very relevant to the way in which his driving fell far below the standards expected of a careful and competent constable'.
The jury was told members of the specialist GMP unit were sent to the Oldham area on December 23, 2022, after reports of a stolen car 'parked up'. Mr Burrows' police car was double crewed at the time.
The jury was told the pursuit that began involved a different car - the Audi A3 - than the one the team had been tasked to find. "It was clearly seeking to evade a stop and makes off at some speed," Mr Sandiford said of the A3.
A pursuit followed and Mr Sandiford said there was no criticism of the driving involved in the early part of it, or the decision to engage in the pursuit.
The jury was told the Audi reached speeds of 76mph. And in the moments leading up to the crash, the court heard Mr Burrows' Golf reached speeds of between 80 and 82mph on the wrong side of the road.
Mr Sandiford said: "The Crown say that when the defendant got onto Oldham Road, he began to disregard significant aspects of his prescribed driver training to avoid the risk of police officers causing a road traffic accident."
The prosecutor alleged he drove in a way that 'created a serious risk of causing a fatal collision', which went on to happen.
Mr Sandiford said drivers who see or hear blue lights and sirens of emergency services vehicles 'can take a second' to work out what to do and where they are coming from.
"The training given to police officers reflects that experience," he said. "A police officer using his lights and sirens does not get right of way over other road users. The onus is on the police officer to ensure the driver to be overtaken is aware of their presence before it is overtaken."

Vicki Tomkins was a police officer with the Hampshire police.
She was a mother of two and had been with the police for 16 years in 2020 when she met Bruno Sala through a dating app.
Sala was a “Portugese national”, who had come to live in the UK and was a care worker and an ambulance driver.
Sala raped Vicki and left her hospitalised. She reported it to the police but the rape unit felt “she could be lying” and did not take it forward.
This effectively ended her career and she left the police.
She waived her anonymity to draw attention to the case yet Sala continued to be free and carried on meeting other women online.
Sala continued offending for years afterwards and was eventually caught and sentenced to 28 years for the first rape and 20 years for three more rapes, where he used drugs to incapacitate and control the women in their 40s.
He even brought along a friend from Angola who raped one of the women.
The head of the rape unit, DCI Roger Wood was later barred from policing for gross misconduct, after engaging in a sexual relationship with a junior employee.
These women had their lives destroyed because of police incompetence.
