Great to complete the move to the Octopus Flux tariff. This means I can be thoughtful about when I use the most energy hungry appliances. Thanks @OctopusEnergy @agile_phil - Brilliant tariff!

There is nothing more noble than to devote your life to the service of others. We stand with the people of the UK and Commonwealth in honoring the life and dedication to duty of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. May she rest in peace.

It's really bleak in the NHS right now. Hospitals on black alert, ICUs filled with Covid, major cancer surgeries being cancelled. Please obey the new Plan B rules. Not because that man told you to. Because *we* need you to - so we can help & save as many patients as possible 🙏

With a heavy heart and the family’s permission I am sad to announce the death this morning of that warm, naturalistic and popular actor Bernard Holley - PC Newcombe in Z-Cars, Mike Turnbull in The Gentle Touch, Axos in Doctor Who and Jackanory reader. A friend, I shall miss him.

The online hate that @LewisHamilton faced over the weekend is despicable. It’s time to kick racism off social media for good. #HopeUnited

Our networks have never played a more critical role, to keep you connected to your family, friends and work. The hard work of our engineers enables our country to be together online, even when we’re apart.
