As an honorary Stokie, I loved writing this feature about Stoke-on-Trent for the Guardian, highlighting some of the places that make the city so special. And I can’t wait to see how the city celebrates its centenary year. theguardian.com/travel/2025/ja…

The very first time I met John Prescott, as an earnest young political reporter, he put he in a jokey headlock and told me I was 'obsessed with trams'. His own obsessions included devolution and regional growth and he was massively ahead of the curve on both.

Just heard my former ⁦@CardiffJomec⁩ colleague David English has died. I worked with him from 2006 to his retirement, a man who could wield a red pen and a joke with aplomb. He had a major influence on those who studied with him. He will be missed. theguardian.com/media-network/…

I have been receiving treatment for some time for a form of blood cancer which has been controlled by chemotherapy. Unfortunately this has now transformed into an aggressive and untreatable form of leukaemia and I will be leaving hospital today. Read my statement in full👇

Saw this tonight. Fantastic production that shows how children's theatre can be so much more than audience service. Gruff Rhys an inspired choice for the score. Perfect tonal fit. Aviva Studios is superb. Very proud to live in such a dynamic city. factoryinternational.org/whats-on/lost-…

Personal: One year on, finally through the 18 month barrier thats been a constant chattering monkey on my shoulder This week has been weird, laughing with my GP, amazing staff checking I’m ok, the ‘survivor guilt’ horrible and staring at the date… but here I am - wonky but here

A personal 🧵- good news Some of you will remember I was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer of the tonsil bed, neck and tongue and without treatment I had 6-18 months to live but my consultant Mary Lei at @GSTTnhs said she believed it was curable but obviously no guarantees

The whole of Pride Park, including away fans and both sets of players, applauding on 31 mins in support of Josh Vickers, following the tragic passing of his wife Laura from cancer. Truly touching and symbolic of football’s power in bringing people together. #dcfc 🖤🤍
