This entertaining tale about a reporter’s Cambodian encounter with an eccentric Russian billionaire is well worth a read.

Bit late, but want to thank @The_JHS for a bursary to attend an inspiring week of talks and workshops last week. Met some wonderful writers and look forward to reading their work in the future! And great to see the tireless Paul McAvinchey after many years!

Coronavirus is going to disrupt the NHS. The private sector has huge amounts of spare capacity - we've got to find a way so it can be used for everybody. We can open our doors to ensure cancer treatments won't be disrupted. Let's look at imaginative schemes to move us forward.
