Some personal news; after 7 months sick leave, I’m back as Brighton and Hove Cabinet Member for Culture, Heritage & Tourism. A good week: yesterday 1st day back, birthday today & tomorrow 1st full cabinet. And last week’s Cirque Kalabante at Brighton Dome was a perfect end to a difficult year!

Am glad to be back on a social media platform which isn’t toxic. I was a late adopter of Twitter and absolutely loved it for about 18 months but then Elon Musk came along…
