So upset to hear #PatsyRobertson has passed away. She and I shared passionate views about the importance of the #Commonwealth. I adored working with her because her drive and tenacity was infectious. Her legacy will live on #RIP dearest Pasty ❤️ theguardian.com/world/2020/a…

Did you see the @BBCNews report? Heartbreaking to see the photo of him as a 'boot boy' in later life. Sadly, looking like 'Old Faithful', shining the shoes of footballing greats like Bobby Moore et al. To think he died as recently as 1988, and we're just hearing this story now.💔

Campaign to build statue for footballer Jack Leslie, “lauded as the best left winger in the country”, who was dropped from 1925 England squad because he was black. With nearly 140 career goals, he remains Plymouth’s fourth highest-scoring player theguardian.com/uk-news/2020…

This is such frighteningly worrying news for our #creativeindustries, it could have a domino effect. #Arts and #culture is food for the soul so must not be abandoned and left in the wilderness. @rxtheatre @OliverDowden

Thank you @UniofExeter for giving me the most wonderful 10yrs of my life. It’s so joyful to celebrate those memories on #WindrushDay and looking back at the unveiling of my statue has given the biggest smile. Who would have thought!❤️

In 2006, the amazing @FloellaBenjamin became the first African Caribbean Chancellor of a UK university at Exeter. We think this statue on our campus is one of only a few in the country to an Afro-Caribbean woman. Watch the unveiling of the statue here 👉 facebook.com/exeteruni/video…

As I said to the Minister during @UKHouseofLords oral questions, we need more statues and monuments to recognise the contributions made by people of colour #BlackLivesMatter @meralhece @OpBlackVote

Wonderful to hear @MarcusRashford speak out about children because every child’s wellbeing matters and they must always be in the forefront of policy decision making #childhoodlastsalifetime ❤️

I planted this magnificent ruby red rose 38 years ago to celebrate the birth of my son. Each year it blossoms more triumphantly than ever just like him ❤️
