- 𝑫𝒓. 𝑴𝒐𝒖𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒂 𝑫𝒆𝒃𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒉: 𝑨 𝑳𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝑪𝒖𝒕 𝑺𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒕 𝒃𝒚 𝒊𝒏𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝑽𝒊𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆. On the night of August 8th, a 31-year-old female doctor diligently completed her duty, as she had done countless times before. After finishing her shift, she shared a quiet meal with her juniors at 2 AM. Exhausted from the long hours, she sought a moment of rest. With no designated room provided for doctors, she settled down to sleep in the seminar room, a makeshift refuge for those who work tirelessly through the night. Little did she know, this would be the last time she closed her eyes with a sense of routine comfort.

A very special day. @VintnersCompany

This is brutal. The Okanagan wine region, Canada's second largest, will basically make no wine this year because of a major winter freeze damaging primary and secondary buds (thanks to @bensigurdson for sharing) drive.google.com/file/d/1IHd31j…

@ozclarke Congratulations and very well deserved!

Proudly receiving my Officier Gong from the Ambassador at the stunning French Residence in Kensington Palace Gardens. And, of course, ace ultra-French patisserie canapés and very tasty Mumm Champagne. The Entente Cordiale is 120 years old this year. Long may it continue

The Telegraph is saying the Tories are going to change the UK's fiscal rules to catch Labour out in the run-up to the general election. This is because they think that we're all terrified of the national debt. We shouldn't be, and what they're proposing is bonkers. A thread...

At 16, I was placed in a bedsit with two older men who were both alcoholics. The place was dangerous and unsuitable for a 16 year old boy leaving care and starting an independent life. No one listened when I begged for somewhere safe to live. I ended up falling behind on my bills because I had no money or support, and before I knew it, I was homeless. That's how quickly it can happen, and you have no control over it whatsoever. It is not a lifestyle choice. @SuellaBraverman

@ozclarke Congratulations on your OBE Oz, so well deserved!

The Ritz! A perfect place for lunch after getting my OBE from the King at Buckingham Palace. The staff and kitchen were on top form and clearly I’m ready for a top up of this scrumptious Fleurie 2020 Domaine de Fa which positively purred with succulent Suffolk lamb.
