At 14 years of age, I was instrumental in setting up my school's junior debating society. At 17, I was chair of its senior Debating Society. Since that time I have addressed many hundreds of meeting and events in the UK and around the globe, on issues ranging from politics, social affairs and young people to travel and tourism. My speeches have taken me before audiences of up to 20,000, to illegal street meetings and clandestine conferences, to the Royal Albert Hall, prisons, rural huts in the Tropics and swanky hotels, to award presentations and honouring India's Zamorin king. In 2001, I was Honorary Teaching Fellow, Birkbeck College School Of Management, University of London

I recently worked as a presenter/writer for Channel 4's 'The Insider' series. I first appeared on television as National Chair of the Labour Party Young Socialists in the Labour Party election Youth Broadcast during 1979. Since then I have been interviewed for many programmes. I have been Upfront in Granada’s celebrated Upfront series, in Stush, Kilroy, on Parliament TV and on TV in India and Jamaica. An often utilised commentator for BBC Radio Manchester, my views have been sought on politics, racism, care, education, gypsies and travellers, football and policing. I presented BBC Radio Merseyside’s award-winning programme Golly in the Cupboard.
