A real pinch yourself moment… I’ve been recognised with an honour in King Charles’s very first Birthday Honours List for services to social mobility. My new passport will read Joseph Seddon BEM 🫡🤣

The work of @lewis_goodall over the past couple of days to shine a light on the inequities of the Ofqual system and universities’ responses has been nothing short of exceptional. A fantastic champion of social mobility!

I've seen the difference the digital platform @zerogravity can make in Doncaster to state school students applying to top universities by mentoring young people through the process. If you want a mentor for free to help you achieve your university ambitions, sign up now.

I try to avoid getting political on Twitter, but this craziness has to be called out. Today’s leaked proposal that the government is considering abolishing inheritance tax is one of the most backward policies I’ve seen in quite some time.

People often ask me ‘What’s it like running a tech startup?’. Well, running @zerogravity doesn’t get much weirder than jumping out of a swimming pool whilst on holiday in Dubrovnik to do a prime time @SkyNewsBreak interview with @markaustintv on A Level results day. 🤣
