The BBC’s latest audience figures show it’s reaching more than half a billion people worldwide — 502 million — for the first time in its history. That’s more than 6% of the entire world’s population. It’s a huge achievement for Britain’s global influence.
'I’m truly bowled over by the outpouring of support and affection since revealing my dementia diagnosis.
'Receiving a dementia diagnosis can turn your world upside down, but I really do believe it’s better to know.
'Too many people are experiencing delays in diagnosis - on average 3.5 years - meaning they’re left in limbo without the help they need.
'An early diagnosis can open the door to treatment, support, care and the chance to take part in research that could change the future.
'People living with dementia and their families have waited long enough for change. We must demand better for everyone affected.
'I would urge everyone to join me in signing Alzheimer’s Society’s open letter calling on government to deliver a bold and ambitious plan for dementia.’

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 💙

Dear @IsabelOakeshott@TiceRichard
Sorry, you can’t come back to the UK.
It simply isn’t safe enough.
And nobody speaks English here anymore, and most of the country is a no go area for white people.
But you know this. Because you told us.
Enjoy Dubai xx
Our Statement in response to President Trump's comments:
The service and sacrifice of British personnel in Afghanistan cannot be called into question, and we condemn any comments that undermine their extraordinary contribution.
I can't cope with all these changes… no phone voting, no introducing Tess and Claudia at the beginning, the celebs jobs not being introduced and them not coming down the stairs to the theme tune anymore and NOW new results music. ENOUGH. #Strictly
As an MP, I will not comply with Digital ID.
I just won't do it, and I hope many millions of British men and women will join me.

Care work is not a low skilled job. It's simply under-paid and under-recognised.
Stop this nonsense and start recognising those who look after our most vulnerable, whereever they come from.
On behalf of us sane people - thankyou to all overseas care workers

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.
But he still needed a 45% pay rise.
Like if he needs a pay cut.
RT if you want the Monarchy gone.
