For my masters final project I had to create 45 minutes of work. My professional work had suddenly exploded and I was very busy, leaving me with 6 weeks to make something from scratch. So I bashed out a script, got a bunch of amazing creative friends together and made Forever Boy, an audio drama about a young man who discovers that he isn’t aging. The inspiration was very much of my own experience, being an older millennial and still living very much like in my 20s and feeling permanently infantilised by a society which is making it increasingly harder to have certain ‘adult things’. Link to full feature in bio 🔗 Big shout out to everyone involved 💗 Forever Boy was written, directed and scored by me The audio for this trailer was edited by @chasebetteraudio #audiodrama #music #scifi #foreveryoung

Keir Starmer, UK Prime Minister, Labour leader, and former member of the Trilateral Commission. Founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski, the Trilateral Commission presents itself as a forum for cooperation between political, business and academic leaders across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific. Its critics argue that it represents a quiet form of elite consensus-building: senior figures from politics, finance, media and academia meeting outside normal democratic scrutiny to shape policy thinking. That does not mean it secretly controls governments, but its private structure, powerful membership and global policy focus have made it a recurring target for accusations of undue influence, technocracy and “globalist” politics. Some of the sharper criticism comes from the Commission’s own history. Its 1975 report The Crisis of Democracy has often been criticised for suggesting that Western democracies were suffering from too much public participation and pressure on institutions. For critics, this captured the fear that bodies like the Trilateral Commission see mass democracy as something to be managed by elites, rather than led by the public. #councilelections #keirstarmer

War only ever benefits the 1%. The 99% are always left pick up the pieces. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We can break the unholy alliance between fossil fuel giants, arms manufacturers and war hungry politicians by transitioning to RENEWABLE ENERGY. Renewables mean peace, security and a habitable planet for everyone. Take action now to demand the government invests in renewables and gets us off gas 👉 click link in bio @greenpeaceuk to add your name to our urgent petition #Iran #Trump #Starmer #Blair #FossilFuels

The conversation about housing is all wrong. For decades, governments have failed to build enough affordable, social homes. People are struggling to find a decent place to live. Yet refugees are being blamed for a crisis they did not create. It’s time to flip that narrative. Watch our new video, created with @jeremyclancyfilm and @sam_nicklin Grounded in research on how to talk about housing in ways that bring people in rather than push them away, this video focuses on the real causes of the housing crisis and the solutions that benefit everyone who needs a safe home. Watch it. Share it. Help us change the conversation. Want to learn more? Download your conversation guide to talking about the housing emergency. Link in bio #Housing #RefugeesWelcome #SocialHousing

Is generative AI really an existential threat to musicians? We’ve been here before, right? Whether it's self playing pianos, the talkies or even synths But this time it's different – in fact, AI firms are already affecting people who work in the creative industries ❌ 68% of creatives say they already have less job security due to generative AI ❌ 55% say they’re already getting paid less because of AI generated work People want strong and effective AI regulation How do we know that? Because they told us – 88% of people who responded to the UK government's consultation how to regulate AI said that AI companies should have to get licences to train AI models on creative works 💪 That’s why the Musicians’ Union is fighting for consent, credit and fair compensation for all creators whose work is used to train AI models Music: @sam_nicklin Stats sources: .uk/news/new-research-shows-urgent-action-is-needed-to-protect-creative-workers-in-the-age-of-generative-ai / /government/publications/copyright-and-artificial-intelligence-progress-report/copyright-and-artificial-intelligence-statement-of-progress-under-section-137-data-use-and-access-act Video description: Sam piece to camera in a decoratively lit room with hanging guitars and a microphone.

And that’s a wrap 2025 🎬 I’m not gonna sugar coat it, 2025 wasn’t all fun and games, but there was more to be grateful for than to be unhappy about. Here’s just a snapshot of what was arguably one of my most fortuitous years in many ways 💗 Big love to everyone I’ve shared the ride with this year. Can’t wait to see you all again in 2026 💗
