No greater test of my attempt to do dry January than Burnham not making his announcement until 5pm....

To the two men who helped me get my mother from my car into her wheelchair this morning - when she was frozen, with Parkinson’s, and crying - THANK YOU.
There is a lot of bad in the world, as the two shootings today show all too clearly. But there is a lot of kindness too.

If you’re ever arguing with a republican about why our royal family matters, show them this story.
The Duchess of Edinburgh visits the Congo to highlight the country’s war rape crisis.

A beautiful interview with Michael Mosley’s widow about his unexpected death and her grief - but also missing the quiet joys of a happy marriage.

Er, that's quite a shocking crop of a photo in the Daily Telegraph today....
It's the new Netflix production of Pride & Prejudice. Mrs Bennet had five daughters.

Forever grateful to @iancowie who taught me the value of investing in the stock market - and a pension - when I was in my early 20s.
The best lesson I was ever taught.
PS If you know somebody in their 20s, make them read this terrific piece from the great man. @thetimes
How investment trusts and other shares helped me go from a council flat to a coastal cottage (and one or two other good things besides). If a humble hack can do it, anybody can! @annabelbrodies

Not a word in this superb piece by @DeccaJourno that I don’t agree with.
The assisted dying laws must change.
Hope every MP reads it ahead of next Friday’s vote

What a birthday!
He was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1991 at the age of 29. That's 34 years ago, to save you doing the maths.

He really is leaving! Goodbye @ShippersUnbound
One of my oldest, funniest, most exasperating, most talented colleagues (and a dear friend).
Here’s a little glimpse of his leaving page. All credit for the magnificent design to Russel Herneman.

It "took ages", @archiebland, because it is the most beautiful, remarkable bit of writing. @meropemills
A story that reminds you of the fragility of our children - and the huge, infinite, overwhelming, life-changing love that we feel towards them.
I wrote for the Guardian’s Saturday magazine about my son Max, who changed how I see the world. Took ages. More jokes after the first bit.
Thanks @meropemills for being the most patient and generous editor.

No journalist wanted their name on this nasty non-story in today’s Mail on Sunday.
Why do women in big jobs always get their appearance examined in a way that so few men do?
