  • I felt I’d failed my brother, 17, on day he died & couldn’t say his name as I hid the pain, says Traitors star Alexander

    2 weeks ago | thesun.ie | Grace Macaskill |Sam Carlisle

    When The Traitors star Alexander Dragonetti talks about his little brother, James, his smile widens and his eyes light up. Then the tears come. He says: “James was my North Star, my world was SO much brighter with him in it. He lit up rooms with a magnetic personality that drew people to him. He was always the cooler brother. And then he wasn’t there.”Alexander came third in the final of this year's series of The Traitors, watched by 7.4million viewers.

  • I can't help but feel cynical about the £1billion SEND spend

    Oct 30, 2024 | metro.co.uk | Sam Carlisle

    I had to rewind BBC iPlayer four times to check I'd heard Chancellor Rachel Reeves correctly. And yes, I had. Reeves said in her Budget speech: 'This government is committed to reforming special educational needs provision to improve outcomes for our most vulnerable children and to ensure the system is financially sustainable. Today I am providing a £1billion uplift in funding, a 6% real term increase on this year.' One billion. Wow. That's a lot of cash.

  • I've fought for better support for disabled children for 15 years… the cries of anguished parents have never been louder

    Oct 18, 2024 | thesun.co.uk | Sam Carlisle

    IT was a tragedy that compelled me to start writing about my disabled daughter, Elvi, 15 years ago. A mother and father, distraught at their tetraplegic son’s death from a virus aged five, had jumped from well-known suicide spot Beachy Head together. Their boy’s lifeless body was in a rucksack strapped to the dad and the mum was clutching his favourite toys. In the inquest reports it sounded like they had very few people who understood the stress of their lives.
