So very saddened to learn that @NCA_LynneOwens is retiring as Director General of the NCA. Lynne has provided clear & effective leadership for the agency with a resolute focus on protecting the public. Wish Lynne all the very best for her remaining treatment & new chapter ahead.

Very welcome further support for the local economy in Bexley. 👍

Regrettably my cancer has progressed. Am starting a new line of treatment this week & receiving great care from the team at Guy's and St Thomas'. Unwelcome news but keeping upbeat. Cathy & the kids have been amazing & appreciate all the kind messages. Now need space to focus on treatment.

Wish you all success Damian. Could not think of a more appropriate person to take on this important role.

Delighted that the UK Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre has been granted planning permission.

This will ensure we never forget the tragedy of the Holocaust.
