Veteran news anchor Jon Snow has shared that he’s living with dementia, speaking publicly for the first time to raise awareness of a condition affecting around 1 million people across the UK.
Jon and his wife, neurologist Dr Precious Lunga, are supporting Alzheimer’s Society @alzheimerssoc and shared the story of Jon’s diagnosis in @DailyMail as part of our Defeating Dementia campaign with the newspaper.

We’ve partnered with Jon, in association with @Channel4, on a powerful new documentary airing on 20 June. Jon Snow: A Last Big Story looks at how he’s navigating life with dementia, and how, when we all come together, we can change the story.
Thank you to Jon and Precious for their courage and openness to bring much-needed attention to dementia 💙

@theashrb Apparently he returned in his late teens after his father left India before he bcame homeless. His father did little beyond contacting the Finnish embassy, since the son had dual citizenship. Now grown up, he blames the government for his parents failures
The fact that outside London, children don’t have access to free bus travel under 16 is outrageous! He should have started a free zip Oyster card or travel card for all kids nationwide but here’s one month to shut you up. What an out of touch toad!
Labour are gonna regret blocking Ye… reform gonna push the narrative of block free speech. Wallahi this is the dumbest government of my lifetime. They can’t get anything right.

@Margaret_E_Hugh It’s needs to be beyond reasonable doubt and we don’t know what they spoke about on the phone. The police did make a point that she never suggested the kids could go to her dad when being arrested meaning she was aware he was on the run
@ScottishHousew1 She sold her house whilst waiting for the trial, Josh texted her even stating that it looks like she will not get the child as she is still in a hotel
