It speaks to Ted's remarkable, broad and unique impact on the free media, sport and entertainment that the sad passing of #TedTurner was also mourned at an International Investigative Journalism Summit #SirHarrySummt in London today. A truly unique individual.

A 'pawsome' celebration in Parliament recognising @PostcodeLottery as the single biggest animal welfare fundraiser in the UK.
Huge thanks to @cj_dinenage @HuddlestonNigel @JohannaBaxter @Battersea_
Modest regulatory reform would deliver even more. @lisanandy

It was a pleasure to speak at the @PostcodeLottery reception in Parliament, celebrating their incredible work on animal welfare and support for charities across the UK.
Players have raised over £1.5bn for good causes to date.

Sad to see another leisure operator fail, with this charity blaming rising operational costs and reduced government funding.
We have repeatedly warned the Government their tax increases and funding cuts will destroy UK sport & leisure facilities. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1mk…

Government has lost its ability to evolve. @MrNickCook calls for an end to the "Just because" attitude—just because something has been done a certain way for ages, doesn't mean it still has to be done that way.

Looking forward to speaking on several panels at #Anthropy26 next week at the @EdenProject, including this @WeAreBrightBlue session on rebalancing the relationship between the public, private and third sectors.

🥡 🐟 🍕 🍛Time for more polling you never knew you needed? Voting intention by favourite take away. Reform dominates with fans of Chinese & does well with Fish/Chips. Labour will hope to turn out pizza lovers (where they have an 18pt lead) & McDonalds to recover from its slump

Congratulations to Ian's young family. The undoubted winners of this disappointing news.
As well as a hard paper round being his Party's only MP, Ian also never got the deserved credit for roundly defeating me in order to be re-elected in 2019 😉
