How does social media impact our relationship with the political sphere? The alternative nature of social media compared to manufactured and regulated broadsheets/tabloids gives it a higher range of motion. It’s accessible yet more polarised online than ever.

I’ve never witnessed a crowd as crazy as Aitch’s fans. Hearing screams, predominantly the crowd being females, was unheard of.
