Completely overwhelmed by all the messages I have received since my statement.
As I continue my treatment and my recovery now know that I simply have to raise more awareness around mental health in the future
Best part of 6 weeks before the UK Championships starts and all being well I’ll be in a better place by then but for now it’s just one day at a time
Thanks again for all your support. It’s meant so so much to myself and my family

The brutality of this is horrendous. So many good reporters have lost their jobs as part of a drive to integrate AI into the newsroom. Artificial intelligence simply cannot replace the experience gained through years of front-line reporting. I know there is a deep sense of betrayal among some of my former Telegraph colleagues. My heart goes out to them.

Venturing out into the elements, leaning into the wind like Titus Oates, clutching a roll of Izal if you were lucky, or yesterday's Mirror if you were on your uppers. A yank on the chain and a scurry back to Morecambe and Wise.
It's why the Boomer Generation is indestructible.

Many pupils at Mitchell House Special School in east Belfast are non-verbal but that does not mean they cannot communicate. And to get that message across they have written and recorded a song called My Voice.

The video produced by the DRCC involving grandparents does not represent the views of the Government. It was both inappropriate and demeaning to grandparents and has been removed by DRCC following my officials engagement with them.

Every year I share this,
For those of you that haven't seen it before it was drawn by my Dad,
Who was there,
Not digging for coal,
But digging for children,
This is his abiding memory of that day,
He will never forget,
And neither should we.

A typical NI employee pay packet was £2,508 in Sept - that’s an increase of £83 (3.4%) over the year
Inflation was 3.1% in August (we get Sept data tomorrow) it’s expected to pick up & hit 4% next year
Prices rising faster than wages is what puts pressure on the cost of living
