BREAKING: Andy Burnham re-elected as Greater Manchester mayor as he wins third term manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m…

“Metro mayors are morphing into the most dynamic layer of our political life. They are going to cause trouble, no matter who occupies No 10 after the election. The more disruption and diversity of leadership in our sleepy, shabby public realm the better” thetimes.co.uk/article/6648c5…

Fantasy EFL is here. Finally. Currently the only person I know planning to play but if there are other industry folks interested then a league can be set up. And yes, Michael Taylor 🇺🇦, wor Sammie is my captain 🤷🏻‍♀️ fantasy.efl.com/team

One month to go... not terrifying 𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡. I'm running for Mind which provides support, guidance & advice to those struggling with mental health, or to the friends & families who want to better understand. To find out more or sponsor my run: justgiving.com/page/lauren-te…

Having just realised that the Royal Institute of British Architects Library is closed for a month (I'd only looked at the opening times), does anyone know if there's a way to access past magazines online (ie, back issues of AJ, AR, Building...)? Paper to submit in three weeks and missing crucial research ☹️🙏🏻

Eek!! If you’d like to indulge me in this madness, you can find more about why I’m running 13.1 miles for Mind and sponsor me for doing so here: justgiving.com/page/lauren-te… Calming messaging of support also welcome.

Challenge completed! A very soggy #GNR2024 in 2hrs 16 (somehow). Brilliant support out on the course and thank you to everyone who has spurred me on or donated to my charity cause of Mind Mental Health. Fundraising is still open for a few more weeks: justgiving.com/page/lauren-te…
