We won Sunday Newspaper of the Year at last night's The Press Awards!

Here is a photo of the team, but there are so many other people - designers, subs, graphics, lawyers, cartoonists and so on - who make The Sunday Times what it is.

Think we’ll look back, and be appalled that we let young children have a mobile phone. 👏 👏 ⁦Katy Balls

(Just as I look back in horror that colleagues smoked while sitting next to me in an office when I was pregnant)

Glorious! ⁦Ruby Wax⁩ on OJ

“He pretended to stab me with a banana while screeching the Psycho music”

“He called me up and said: ‘ Hi, it’s OK. I did it.’ Then he said: ‘April fool,’ and hung up.”

…and so many other gems. ⁦Glen Keogh

At my local tube station, there is a “Book Swap”. It is wonderful.

Dropped off some books at 12, and most of them had gone by 1.

How brilliant is that?

An important thread from my colleague, and old friend, James Coney.

Read it, and share with everybody who judges/tuts/eye rolls/chastises a family who are just trying to go about their daily life with a disabled child.

'Most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George [10], Charlotte [8] and Louis [5] in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be ok.'

That she had to do this while mad, malicious conspiracy theories swirled is shameful

Brilliant news! The moversandshakerspod podcast - about people living with Parkinson’s - is superb. It manages to be funny, helpful and comforting about this grim disease.

Delighted to see it has won 🥇

I am so bored of a world in which people still - still!!! - assume that news editors are male.

A gentle reminder that women can do….anything!

“One in seven buildings in the NHS hospital estate were built before the NHS was founded in 1948.”

A figure that so shocked me in this sobering story by Shaun Lintern Ben Spencer Tom Calver that I couldn’t believe it to be true.

It is.

“If you’d lived next door to us, you’d have described us as a ‘perfect family’.”

Not an easy read, but a truly extraordinary one about sibling sex abuse. Rarely talked about, little known but….astonishingly common.

👏 👏 to ⁦Decca Aitkenhead

In 2015, I interviewed ⁦Rebecca Myers⁩ for our grad scheme.

After nine years, including two with me on the newsdesk, she left us today for ⁦The Observer⁩.

“Office parenting” really is a thing. Love, pride and already hoping she’ll come home soon.

In my seven years as a news editor, I have never been asked more questions about a story than: 'What's really up with Kate?'

Here are some of the answers from the always reliable, well-sourced Roya Nikkhah
