Biography
I am a curious, socially-conscious news enthusiast with varied media experience for both local and national publications. I previously worked as a News Reporter at Left Foot Forward, specialising in trade unions and workers' rights, as well as providing environment coverage. I worked at The Times and Sunday Times as a Reader Comment Journalist creating reader-led articles based on readers' memories and experiences. I have worked as a Regional Editor for two community news websites in London, and as a Quality Assurance Editor for the Eurosport website. My interests include making audio content, roller blading and swimming. I have three years previous experience in the not-for-profit sector working in research, reporting and advice services.

By Hannah Davenport Verified| Left Foot Forward@ Baseless rumours and conspiracy theories spread rapidly online in the aftermath of the fatal stabbing of children in Southport last Monday, sparking violent racist and Islamophobic rioting across the UK. The myth of a ‘two-tier’ policing system has been used by far-right leaders to stir up anger against authorities, including the police, amid the violence. The conspiracy claims that white working-class people are being treated differently to people of colour and refugees by policing.
By Hannah Davenport Verified| Left Foot Forward@ The Labour government announced today it will axe the anti-strike law brought in by the previous Conservative administration in a welcome move for workers’ rights. Britain’s new Government has said it will be repealing the controversial Strikes Act legislation which gave ministers sweeping powers to extend minimum service levels across the economy, and could be used to force striking workers back to work or risk losing their job.
By Hannah Davenport Verified| Left Foot Forward@ Trade unions have issued a rallying cry urging members to reach out to local mosques and solidarity groups, to offer union solidarity and support against the far-right. Leaders from some of the biggest unions in the UK have called for the movement to come together after far-right and racist groups exploited the deaths of three young girls in a knife attack in Southport to spread mis-information and whip up fear and violence.
