On behalf of everyone @DofE, we are so sad to hear this news. Julia and Hans' support has made a lasting difference to our work, enabling community organisations across the UK to start running the DofE and giving life-changing opportunities to many more marginalised young people.

From a boy to a man. Forever one of our own. Thank you for everything, Brennan ❤️

Word of the day is ‘snollygoster’ (19th century): one who abandons their principles for short-term gain or power.

We know almost nothing about her, her political views, or what she’s done to get there. But now she’s in the House of Lords, she can make laws for the rest of us for life. Thank heaven Boris Johnson took us out of the unaccountable EU!

@campbellclaret Is it Lucius Malfoy?

Free signed copy new book for the first person correctly to identify the owner of this blonde hair a couple of rows in front of me on flight Marseille-London. Clue - can’t believe he is not in Parliament standing up for his friend in his hour of need

Listen to actor Rory Kinnear describe why he supports Revitalise and what breaks mean to disabled people and carers, like his mum and late sister. #GiveMeABreak #RevitaliseNow

We know 56% of disabled people and carers have said they can’t afford to take a break. We know that the funding for respite has been reduced by 42% by the local authorities over the last three years. We know we are facing a crisis. #GiveMeABreak #RevitaliseNow #RespiteCrisis

Our guests tell us that holidays at our centres help relieve the stress of everyday life and give them a chance to rediscover themselves. We also know too many disabled people and carers never get a break. Ever. #GiveMeABreak #RevitaliseNow revitalise.org.uk/give-me-a-brea…

The importance of a break from Revitalise Jubilee Lodge's guest, Jeni #GiveMeABreak #RevitaliseNow
