Shocked by the Eurovision Village #UnitedByMusic today. Ukrainian Village shoved in a corner. Main area beyond bland. Can @bbceurovision News Correspondent @DanielRosney do a proper news story on this marginalising of #Ukraine? Stallholders told me they were devastated.

Can't wait to sock it to 'em at the @IoICNews Festival on Wednesday. How would YOU get a complicated message across to an audience in 30 seconds?
Great job by Jake and Jez - and thanks to @BrightonHoveCC for sending them along to touch up our lovely heritage signs. Here's hoping the council will soon be returning the lovely refurbished lantern tops next to them - those temporary replacements are so ugly! @NancyPlatts
If you work in #communication and sometimes wonder how TV journalists communicate complex things so fast - come to my Comms Clinic at 9.30am on 27 April to find out and share ideas! It's free, it's fast (30 mins) and it's fun. lnkd.in/dHASdp3h

I almost feel sorry for the hapless junior minister thrown to the wolves by Tory HQ tonight. Second week in a row no senior minister has had the guts to appear to defend what tonight’s minister appeared to admit was “the indefensible”. @bbcquestiontime
If you despair at young people "not being prepared" for the workplace, there's hope. I just helped out with mock interviews for 15 year olds at Peacehaven Community School. Here I am before meeting 3 polite, curious, bright candidates. Thanks to @PCS_Peacehaven @CareersHubES

Sign of the times? Doing Pub Quiz. Question arose about Boris Johnson. Greeted with hissing and jeers. By just about everyone. Hmmm. Journalist in me wondering if sands are shifting?
