This was sad news to read today. Such an advocate for millions of people. And an icon. RIP Dolly.

[Dolly Parton @DollyParton]

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at https://t.co/cLu9I7M2wC

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at https://t.co/arzrqInqJA

This reasoning is why Lawson has no desire to grow her firm as, for her, remaining small allows the firm to concentrate on what she believes clients actually need.

What the recent droughts tell us about infrastructure:

Water is indispensable to households, agriculture, manufacturing, power generation, housing development and increasingly the digital economy.

But the need for investment has rarely been greater.

Greater scrutiny on value for money is “appropriate and necessary” when it comes to model portfolios.

@planetarypop @thetimes @kathleen_stock1 Whoa! On behalf of Gen X - please don't rope us into the Late Boomer nonsense.

It IS a stupid article that trivialises women's pain and need for walking support. "Social contagion" indeed.

How about 'GenZ buck the trend of women hiding conditions, despite Boomer disapproval."

[Lady Z @ZaraTomkiActor]

@thetimes This is absolutely vile and clearly misogyny is raging. Have we gone back 100 years, dismissing women's illnesses as 'all in the mind'. Do better as a journalist and newspaper.

The antidote is rarely a clever product; it is a properly diversified plan, communicated regularly, so clients are reminded why their portfolio is built as it is when markets wobble.”
