Miranda Slade

Our interview with Nicola Sturgeon has a million and one revelations, including her saying she should’ve paused the controversial gender self ID legislation and me asking if she’s coming out #BBCNewscast. Link below

@LinaSaigol @hughcarnegy @FT Thank you Lina, I have fond memories of coming to visit you and my dad. Hope you're really well xx

@MirandaSlade @hughcarnegy @FT An exceptionally special, kind man and a superb news editor.

Grateful to @hughcarnegy for capturing my dad so well in this obituary, published in the paper he loved so much. Obituary: Andrew Slade, FT journalist, 1963-2025 ft.com/content/76e821… via @ft

@nickpdonovan @hughcarnegy @FT Thank you Nick, I think my dad thought I had gone mad when I told him I was retraining as a journalist but perhaps it was inevitable. Really appreciate your reaching out. Hope you and the family are well x

@MirandaSlade @hughcarnegy @FT I love this parental subediting story. I still miss my dad, and moments like this story are the vehicle for how we talk about him years afterwards. Really sorry to hear about your loss Miranda.

@AlexanderJMoss @hughcarnegy @FT Thank you Alex. Hugh captured my dad so well and it is a huge comfort to us in what has been a shattering time.

@MirandaSlade @hughcarnegy @FT So sorry Miranda. My deepest condolences to you and your family. What an amazing obituary. X

@RKWinvisibleman @hughcarnegy @FT Thank you Robert, the many tributes from former colleagues and friends have been shared with us and our family have cherished them so much.

@MirandaSlade @hughcarnegy @FT We were all so fond of him and we're desperately sad at what's happened.

@jonsinclair @hughcarnegy @FT Thank you Jon, that means so much to us

@MirandaSlade @hughcarnegy @FT So sorry for your loss Miranda. Condolences to the family.

@orlacarmel @hughcarnegy @FT Thank you Orla, that means so much xx

Deeply deeply cursed

boyfriend requested 'no spoilers' for the play we're going to see with my mum tonight... the play is Oedipus. No Oedipus spoilers.

@HannahAMont Of course I didn’t

@MirandaSlade It’s a US college thing. Like university challenge but you have to have attended one of the colleges. Did you study in the US??

I said I’d be down for a pub quiz because I thought there would be a big group and I could hide in the crowd, but I got added to a groupchat with 4 strangers and they are celebrating me joining. I can’t handle this social situation. Someone give me an out.
