With thanks for her long life of service. Sincere condolences to the Royal Family and to all of us who are mourning her loss.
The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.

So important to improve the diversity in the judiciary. Of all types. Diversity of age, class, ethnicities, ways of thinking. Why not consider being a magistrate?
If you have good listening skills, an open mind and a sense of fairness.

I would love to see @thelizcarr as a Bond villain - the producers would be mad not to! Good work @SaturdayKitchen #LizCarrBondVillain

Last week I got to speak to @Gillysmith about Bangladeshi food and itโ€™s now a wonderful podcast. A great reminder of my 5 years away from the civil service pursuing my foodie dream - the crowning glory of which was publishing this amazing book with @AnnessLorenzBks #podcast
This week on Cooking the Books, Iโ€™m with 2013 Masterchef finalist, @SairaHamilton whose latest book My Bangladesh Kitchen takes us deep into the little-known food culture of Bangladesh. apple.co/3tHoB24
