The Guardian is to lose several prominent journalists as it closes its voluntary redundancy round, including media editor Jim Waterson and special projects editor Jonathan Shainin.

Good luck Jenny. Fyi: I spotted your predecessor in Waitrose this morning buying a pizza!

[Jenny Riddell-Carpenter MP @Jenny4SuffCoast]

Headed into the new office today to get settled in and find my feet, ahead of Parliament opening next week.

Thank you to the amazing Commons staff who made the whole process today so seamless.

Looking forward to getting to work.

Happy #StaffordshireDay.
Perhaps some people don't know what a beautiful varied county of contrasts we have?
Cannock Chase, historic Lichfield, the rugged beauty of the Moorlands, and the Potteries, one of the birthplaces of industrial Britain.

@rnlow Hi Bob, hope all is well. We seem to be building up a bit of a NED reunion as people crawl out of the woodwork. Can I count you in? Sorry if I did not reply at the time. Best, R

Great front page from @CityAM on the bleating from @abrdn_plc – blaming the media for ‘corporate bullying’ for its ludicrous name.

So sad to hear this news. Elaine was a stalwart of the PHS, a good friend and neighbour of my parents (Alick and Betty) and a regular correspondent with me until relatively recently. RIP Elaine and condolences to her family. X

[Potteries Heritage Society @PotteriesHSoc]

We’re very sad to hear that our founder and honorary member, Elaine Holland, passed away on Saturday morning at the age of 91. She was a former Treasurer of the Society and a dedicated environmental campaigner. Our thoughts are with her family and friends.

As always, so poignant and moving to stand before the Journalists' altar at @stbrideschurch and see the names of so many who have lost their lives to bring us the news.
