What a privilege to deliver this year's @LongfordTrust lecture, to be a voice for children in the justice system so often written off by society: "as the child goes, so goes the country." Wonderful to be surrounded by so many inspiring advocates for change & hope.

This is great. The History of Every Shop on Stoke Newington Church Street by @HistoryOfStokey I miss Lucky Seven - a great record shop.

One of the most fascinating women from the Middle Ages @DrJaninaRamirez talked about at her @GreshamCollege lecture last month was Hildegard of Bingen. I was pretty chuffed to find this in my local Oxfam Books and Music.

*Income inequality across London*

London is a deeply unequal city. Poverty and wealth live side by side, and this inequality is reflected in every borough.

If you can spare 20 minutes today, you could help save a life.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, so I’m encouraging everyone to complete Zero Suicide Alliance’s training to learn what to do if a loved one, colleague or stranger is in crisis.

Please help us spread the word.
