I know it's a long shot, but if any of you want to buy my new book you can get a third off if you click on this link and type the word "Hovel" at the checkout. So it'll cost a London pint and last longer saltpublishing.com/products/…

While at #LPC25, we had a surprise encounter with comedy legend @Aiannucci. He spoke to Cat from our comms team about Epilepsy Society’s push for stronger NHS-charity collaboration to improve epilepsy care. He even posed for a photo which made Cat’s day!
