Starting the week with a Machinery of Government (MoG) change - they'll be plenty to keep us busy. My fantastic team will be responding to changing priorities, adapting to a shifting landscape, and embracing our refreshed opportunity to deliver for Businesses across the UK. – at Knapton, England

Just finished #TipToe @Channel4 I've never watched a more harrowing 15 minutes of television in my life. I felt physically sick; I am shaking with anger, and full of tears (even writing this post is a struggle) 💔 Is this our future? I pray not....

The #LGBTQ Poppy is a good thing, which commemorates an important part of the Armed Forces. Stop with the hate, stop spreading misinformation, and start remembering why we wear the poppy altogether! – at York, England

A fantastic #BirthdayParade for HM The King; and the weather just about held off. I know all too well the impact of that rain on the long march back to the barracks. Bravo Zulu @BritishArmy and all those on parade - a bloody marvellous display! #TroopingTheColour – at London, England

Cannot believe it's been a year since our darling Paul (O'Grady) passed. I grew up just down the road from his Kent home in Aldington. Remember bumping into him countless times in local shops. A beautiful soul and wonderful dedication on @BBCRadio2 this morning – at York, England

Harry has played the best game. Every move he has made has been strategic, cunning, and clever. A most deserved win, bravo! Molly's downfal was trusting someone just a little too much. #TraitorsUK – at York, England

'The Faithfull' haven't banished any Traitors, it's all be Traitors turning on Traitors. Another amazing game-play from Harry! #TraitorsUK

#TheTraitorsUK has brought us so many amazing TV moments. So far: - Miles' entrance & seeing Diane - The whole funeral possession - Harry turning on Paul - Harry saying "We put Diane in her place' to her son (Ross) -Claudia saying "just like the old days" & SO MUCH MORE! 👏

An inspiring lunch-time call with @NathanielJHall to hear about his experiences living with #HIV and working on projects such as the TV series #ItsASin and #ToxicPlay. We also discussed the importance of education, being active to fight for the living, and queer joy #LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
