Enjoyed being one of the panellists in a @CPCatapult discussion at @UKREiiF yesterday. The UK faces many challenges around social fragmentation & community cohesion & it was great to see so much agreement on the need to make our public spaces work harder to tackle these problems

Great to see these fantastic actors getting the attention they deserve. I saw Gods of Salford last week & it was a real tour de force. Authentic northern theatre at its best. How 25 working-class kids became Britain’s most exciting new theatre troupe

George Foreman was so good he turned a terrible loss to Ali into a victory - because it made him a better person. He spoke often of the humility he learned from that fight & this is why he kept a picture of Ali knocking him out as the wallpaper on his computer screen #RIP
