So many congratulations Alex - you'll be absolutely fantastic.
I am unbelievably excited to be given this opportunity. I applied for it (and anyone can: lordsappointments.independen…) because it’s a chance to work in public service, whilst not being at the mercy of party politics.
Incredibly sad news. I always was so impressed with Ross' intellect and insights.

James Brokenshire was an excellent Minister to work with. Really sad to hear this news, and my deepest sympathies to his family.
