I’m looking to connect with experienced journalists interested in filling casual shifts over the coming weeks/months.
This is primarily for overnight news coverage (UK hours / Australia-based team), so flexibility around those hours is key.
Ideally, you’ll have strong news judgement, be comfortable working at pace, and able to turn around clean copy quickly.
If that sounds like you, or you’ve worked on similar desks before, feel free to drop me a message or send over your CV to [email protected]

Just pointing out that I broke the story 7 months ago that Mandelson failed vetting from the security services and put it to Downing Street...so the idea that Downing Street only found out on Tuesday is complete nonsense.

Yesterday was my last day at the Daily Express after eight incredible years.
It’s been the privilege of my life to work with some of the most talented people in the industry, but the time is right for me to take on a new challenge.
Anyone who’s worked with me knows I care deeply about the success of this brand, which is why stepping away has been the hardest decisions of my life.
I’ve been fortunate enough to work in almost every role in the newsroom - from my early days on the video news team to my time as Science Editor – before getting my first break running the news desk five years ago.
That journey took me from London to New York City as a founding member of the US operation, later serving as the website’s Deputy Editor – an experience that, despite many challenges, we made a huge success.
But the most rewarding experience would be helping transform the Express into a truly digital-first beast to meet the evolving demands of our readers – and increasingly our listeners and viewers – around the world in my role as Head of News and Brand.
The last five years have been among the most intense in modern British journalism: Four Prime Ministers, a global pandemic, the death of our beloved Queen, a new Monarch, the fallout from Brexit, war returning to Europe and a cost-of-living crisis - all while audience behaviour changed at pace.
Against that backdrop we set out to build a truly digital-first newsroom - one team, one dream.
That meant restructuring, retraining and removing duplication so stories could be built dynamically and amplified across platforms.
I’m incredibly proud that this helped deliver the biggest annual audience growth among the UK’s top 10 news brands for two years in a row, while we also picked up major award wins including Campaign of the Year at the British Journalism Awards.
Most importantly, I’m proud of the brave reporting from our team working across the UK and around the world – and of a newsroom that backed each other and did it all with a smile.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey. It’s been unforgettable.
Now it’s time for the next adventure as I head to Australia for a new chapter with Reach, flying the flag down under.
David Lammy's support for Keir Starmer should not come as a surprise as no one else would possibly hire him

NEW: Our investigation for @thenerve_news reveals not only that Peter Thiel’s Palantir is completely enmeshed in our critical national infrastructure.
It’s also the ‘cloud support’ for our nuclear weapons system

If you’re upset about Trump’s treatment of British soldiers, wait until you hear how the British government treats them.

Trump on NATO: "Until the last few days when I told them about Iceland, they loved me. They called me daddy."

In a very busy news agenda watch what is happening in Northern Syria: a camp for of ISIS prisoners has just been abandoned by its guards… tracking them is gonna be a huge problem for Europe with everything else going on.
Official Statement Regarding Al-Hol Camp
Due to the international indifference toward the issue of the ISIS terrorist organization and the failure of the international community to assume its responsibilities in addressing this serious matter, our forces were compelled to withdraw from Al-Hol Camp and redeploy in the vicinity of cities in northern Syria that are facing increasing risks and threats.

Labour must break their manifesto pledge to stand any chance at the next election.
Does Starmer survive ?

This is getting quite serious for the Chancellor.
In the run up to the Budget we were told that the OBR’s downgrading of productivity would create a multi-billon black hole. The government started preparing public opinion for a manifesto-breaking rise in income tax.
We were not told that rising wages and inflation meant more tax revenues to offset the productivity downgrade. But Rachel Reeves was.
By October 31 the OBR told Reeves that she was actually sitting on a £4.2 billion surplus. Yet four days later she gave a press conference in Downing Street at which she suggested that the watchdog’s forecasts were worse than expected and made the case for tax rises.
“What I want people to understand ahead of the budget, is the circumstances we face,” she said. “I could … sweep those challenges under the carpet. I am being honest with people.”
In fact, as we now learn, she was being the opposite of honest. She might not survive this.
