I am an experienced online journalist and political editor working for Trinity Mirror papers in the West Midlands and the North East, based in the Parliamentary Press Gallery at Westminster.
I understand how government, Parliament and political parties work. I am equally at home digging out stories from data, social media or interviews as I am covering major set-piece events or explaining how things work to readers.
I produce content which is shareable and promote my work on social media.
My experience with content management systems and knowledge of HTML allows me to include charts, embedded content from third parties and formatting in my work, to create content which encourages interaction and keeps readers on the page.

Westminster was quiet during the Olympics. But there was one major political story which pierced the gloom, when Nick Clegg took to the airwaves to announce he was backing out of plans to cut the number of MPs in the House of Commons.
