I’m currently studying sports journalism at Sheffield Hallam University and I’m looking for a work placement for next year to gain experience in the industry.
I've been running the podcast for the past five years, which has given me valuable experience and opportunities in media but I’m now keen to build on that experience and develop my journalism skills in the industry.
Please see the link to my work -youtube.com/@lukewalsh2007?s…
I'll be based in Sheffield next year but am happy to travel for the right opportunity.
All retweets appreciated👍

15-year-olds Yana and Masha. 💔 Killed by a Russian missile strike on Chernihiv on today.
The girls were 10th-grade students. They had their whole lives ahead of them. If only it weren't for Russia.

14 dead at a train station in Dnipro.
Two 15-year-old girls killed by a cruise missile in Chernihiv.
Three dead in a Kremenchuk apartment strike.
56 injured, including 10 children.
This is the reality of the Russian invasion.
Yet the Trump administration just publicly called Putin a "humanitarian" while waiving sanctions, lifting tariffs, and authorizing the import of Russian diesel.
We are no longer just abandoning a democratic ally; we are actively funding their slaughter.

The communists, fascists and assorted contrarian cranks all align perfectly on this issue: squarely on the side of Russia and against Britain.

You know, I've been racking my brain trying to remember when else in history a great military power launched a war of aggression against a neighboring country, failed to defeat it on the battlefield for years -- and then the leadership of another great power (which the aggressor had regarded as its archenemy until just yesterday!!) engaged in petty, sordid collusion with the aggressor, made a complete 180-degree turn, and began actively working to force its undefeated victim into capitulation and extinction as a nation.
I'm honestly trying to think of historical precedents -- but it seems that never before in the history of this world under the heavens has there been such a spectacular display of deranged idiocy.

There are people out there claiming PIP for their "social anxiety" and this guy's fully Hawking and still managing to orchestrate international terror. Be inspired.

No, @elonmusk, the U.S. stopped funding Ukraine last year. In fact, U.S. companies make money on American weapons for which we Europeans pay.
The more you meddle in our politics and the more you play politics with your products, the more you damage your brand.

As an African immigrant, lefty/liberal white women like her are the absolute worst creatures on the planet. They grow up privileged in the West, then try to lecture us who actually had to move here LEGALLY on how they know more about our own race, struggles, and wear oppression as a cloth
They claim to care about black lives they don't. They only want to hear narratives that they can larp as white saviors for. Their so called empathy is very shallow and fake. As you can see by how she doesn't even think of the shop owners livelihood and employees. The working class
Which is why they get so pissed off and vitriolic when you call them out on their bullshit. These white women don't care about truth, can't think. All that matters is the feeling they get from being "white saviors". Except they're not saving anything. They're destroying everything

My latest: Ukraine’s Starshield access is still crippled, no-one is taking the blame, and Ukrainian soldiers and civilians are dying because of it.

A Ukrainian soldier serving in Iraq in 2003. Ukraine deployed more than 6,000 troops to the U.S.-led Operation Iraqi Freedom; 18 were killed and 40 were wounded.
At least they were humanitarian missiles this time eh @SteveWitkoff
🚨 Explosions light up Kyiv’s night sky as Russian strikes injure 15 people
Overnight on October 22, Russian forces once again attacked the Ukrainian capital. Powerful flashes lit up the city as explosions echoed and air raid sirens blared.
The strikes damaged metro infrastructure on the Southern Bridge over the Dnipro River, forcing authorities to restrict traffic.
Kyiv had already been targeted by another Russian attack the previous evening, leaving six more people injured.

Let that sink in.
We don’t hate russia and those who enable its terror nearly enough.

All that remains is to once again thank those Americans who have never lost their common sense, have never betrayed their values or the national interests of the United States and the free world, and continue to help and support Ukraine.

I will be speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his team this week to discuss Starshield, sanctions, and other matters pertaining to the defense of our strong ally, Ukraine. I will be assuring President Zelenskyy that anyone who attempts to limit the use of Starshield for Ukraine will be fully investigated and will be held fully accountable, to include public congressional oversight hearings, and immediate harsh and punitive budget cuts to any responsible agency or agency head.
Congress will unequivocally reaffirm that Ukraine is an indispensable ally to the United States, that Russia is a self-declared enemy of the United States, and that the United States will 100% support and defend the people of Ukraine in their fight for their own freedom against this brutal, illegal, and unprovoked Russian invasion.
The United States must provide any and all defensive equipment that Ukraine needs to defend itself. The United States must not import a single drop of Russian oil. Sanctions against the Russian regime must be harsher and stronger than they’ve ever been before. Each and every one of these items will be brought to the House Floor—and each and every one of these items will pass on the House Floor by an overwhelming margin.
This is, after all, what Ronald Reagan would do. And this is what we will do now. Ukraine can, and will, defeat Russia. #PeaceThroughStrength

I just love this one: "Ukraine, don't antagonize Trump."
Listen -- from the very first day of his return to the White House (and even long before that), Ukraine has indulged his every whim and gone along with every one of his insane plans.
It has dutifully catered to his grotesque craving for the most nauseating flattery and joined everyone else in massaging his monstrous ego, singing in chorus the praises of his incredible leadership, talent, power, and divine beauty.
Ukraine, and Zelensky himself in particular, has turned a blind eye to and endured countless humiliations, insulting antics, idiotic outbursts on Truth Social, and hysterical spectacles like the Oval Office showdown.
Ukraine has unfailingly supported 100% of his ridiculous, nonsensical, and downright idiotic imaginary "ceasefires," which Putin couldn't have given less of a damn about. And yet Ukraine had to listen, over and over again, to accusations that it "doesn't want peace," responding to every such outrage with yet more praise for Trump and bending over backward to appease him, desperate not to give him the slightest excuse to accuse it of being "uncooperative."
Meanwhile, Putin has spent all this time amusing himself, making a complete fool of Trump in front of the entire world, and openly spitting on every one of his frantic diplomatic maneuvers.
We've been living in this madhouse, where night has become day and day has become night, for almost two years now.
And what?
How's that working out?
What has all of this accomplished?
More slaps in the face, and ultimately, Donald Trump's complete and final betrayal and his active decision to side with the Russian aggressor.
And somehow it's Ukraine that's "antagonizing" someone?
At least have the decency to stop hiding behind this laughable victim-blaming and your invented alternate realities, and just come out and say it: "Just fucking die, all of you Ukrainians, so our idol can line his pockets with Kremlin money."
