Getting 400,000 people out and active in their community for free, every week, in 2400+ locations, is no mean feat. It takes an army. And it was amazing to celebrate the incredible contributions of all who make parkrun happen with the PM @10DowningStreet To the next 20yrs 🥂

Some things make me very happy. Just received the new album by @_williamdoyle from @driftrecordshop in startling eternal blue vinyl: signed too with a little poster inside! Revelling in its beauty before a dedicated listening session tonight. Thanks Mr Doyle!

We forget sometimes just how good we are: having this reflected by influential international visitors helps to remind us of this. Helping Jeju Island become the healthiest place to live in Asia should help us to do the same here!
We're pleased to have signed an agreement with Jeju National University to make the South Korean island the 'healthiest place to live in Asia'. The collaboration between @SHU_AWRC and Jeju will lead to research to improve health and prosperity. Read more 👇 https://t.co/WjOVEyydtv

In this thread I will explain why claims by people, who have been caught copy/pasting other people's text, that "It was an oversight" are generally BS. I'll use a non-current example: Paul McCrory, who ripped off large chunks of text from an article by @stevehaake. /1

More on this in last Sunday’s notpaper for @theoutdoorcity - https://t.co/0pW6SV4ETj
This is yet more evidence of the global reach of our universities, and cities and regions working together on shared challenges. Jeju share our huge ambition, to transform the health of our communities, and I look forward to seeing this partnership go from strength to strength.
