Thinking of all my colleagues at Reach plc today. Shame on those celebrating hundreds of people losing their jobs, I hope you never have to experience that. Might be tough times ahead but we’ll carry on delivering top quality journalism at a time when it’s more vital than ever.

Well 2020, I did not see you going like that. Out of office on after what has been the maddest year to cover news. Will be back in the New Year where hopefully we’ll be a bit closer to the light at the end of the tunnel. But for now, time to relax and drink some fizz. Cheers 🥂
