Knowing for the past few weeks that this moment was fast approaching didn’t make it any less heartbreaking to hear the news early this morning that Janey had died.
Janey Godley truly was a force of nature, and one of the funniest people I have ever known. I was able to visit her in the hospice a couple of weeks ago and though she was fragile, she still had me in stitches.
Janey was also incredibly kind. And she made the world a better place.
A bond was forged between us in the darkest days of Covid when her famous voiceovers of my daily briefings went viral. In the toughest of times, she made people laugh - and that was precious. She did more that that though. In managing to project the serious public health messages of my briefings to a much wider audience than I would have managed alone, she helped save lives.
The photos on this post are from an event we did together last year - it was a special night.
I was so proud to call Janey a friend and will miss her hugely. My heart goes out to her family and many friends - they are in my thoughts today.
I know Frank will have been there, holding the door for her as she went - with a tear in his eye, as I have in mine. RIP my friend ❤️

I’m delighted to be endorsed by the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen (@ASLEFunion).
If re-elected, I will continue to champion the rights of our train drivers and support them in their campaign for fair pay and working conditions.

Naturally, we could not improve on the pitch-perfect response by protesters yesterday to @SuellaBraverman
- it was both hilarious & powerful. But we figured we'd try to commemorate it somehow through music (tho not a shanty). Here's to the silent treatment. Long may it continue.

Tired: Cancel HS2
Wired: Build HS2 + double-decked station in Manchester
Inspired: Build HS2 + double decker stations in Manchester AND Leeds
I'm not the only one to think this is a far better proposal. @WW_Architecture believe that it's possible to build new through platforms below and to the north of the existing station. Arguably this is an even better solution as it retains the capacity for expanded N-S flow.

Praise be to Ann Widdecombe
Today I told a hungry man
on the street
to eat a cheese sandwich
with no cheese in it.
Imagine the cheese
I said.
Think Wensleydale,
think Gruyère,
think toasted halloumi.
Who needs cheese
when you've got imagination?
And it's so much healthier.

Refugees would always be welcome in my house, Tories fucking wouldn’t.
No human is illegal.
Refugees welcome.

Sometimes people leave you halfway through the wood. Others may deceive you, you decide what's good. You decide alone, but no one is alone.
