Amazing AGM of @TheWineSociety - something like 1500 people involved! The Committee's passion for the Society's status as a mutual is outstanding. Alan Black (Chair) says it takes up to two years for new Committee members really to understand the mutual concept in their soul!.

RT @dignityindying: The final vote is now happening. The division has been called and MPs are now voting on the Bill.

Very helpful tweets from @dignityindying on the 3rd Reading Debate today on the E&W Bill for assisted dying. Although this Bill will not directly apply in Scotland, it will be very helpful for the Scottish Bill. For Christian arguments in Scotland see

Good to have a presentation at @CharityLawAssoc by @Saffa_Mir of Pennington Manches Cooper and trustee of @muslimcharities specifically on faith charities. Quite a lot of charity people seem uncomfortable about faith-based charities so glad the CLA is giving a clear focus.

Hooray! Ben Harrison (Head of Charity Law at @DCMS) confirms they are finally planning to update the E&W charity accounting regs for new Charities #SORP 2026. It is scandalous that the E&W regulations were never updated for last SORP. @CharityLawAssoc.

Two very different charity meetings today of orgs where I am a member: Scottish @Grantmakers this morning and @CharityLawAssoc now. Both online, but I was encouraged that CLA gave the option of meeting in person: there was a real buzz!.

His comments are profound and I am glad that @davidhumeinst has invited him to Edinburgh, but I was just a bit surprised at this focus. #EICClive.

This is a slightly odd format, I feel, @davidhumeinst with @ProfTimJackson just being interviewed with no obvious structure. Much better, I suggest, to invite him to give a talk with his own slides and structure (with audience Q&A at end). #EICCLive.

Some pretty odd comments from @ProfTimJackson about "the moon as carer". Yes, the moon regulates the tides and much else that is important to human activity, but it's a bit of a stretch to argue that the moon is thereby a carer. Is an apple a carer if I can eat it? #EICClive.
