Knowing for the past few weeks that this moment was fast approaching didn’t make it any less heartbreaking to hear the news early this morning that Janey had died.
Janey Godley truly was a force of nature, and one of the funniest people I have ever known. I was able to visit her in the hospice a couple of weeks ago and though she was fragile, she still had me in stitches.
Janey was also incredibly kind. And she made the world a better place.
A bond was forged between us in the darkest days of Covid when her famous voiceovers of my daily briefings went viral. In the toughest of times, she made people laugh - and that was precious. She did more that that though. In managing to project the serious public health messages of my briefings to a much wider audience than I would have managed alone, she helped save lives.
The photos on this post are from an event we did together last year - it was a special night.
I was so proud to call Janey a friend and will miss her hugely. My heart goes out to her family and many friends - they are in my thoughts today.
I know Frank will have been there, holding the door for her as she went - with a tear in his eye, as I have in mine. RIP my friend ❤️

What could be more reassuring to a nation where many struggle to feed their children and heat their homes than the arrest of peaceful protesters (many who negotiated their protest with police to start) while billions of pounds of military hardware fly overhead in formation.

I asked @gpetriglieri to help me understand the mindset of CEOs who simply don't believe in remote work. He asked me to imagine how a priest would feel, staring at a half-empty church. The priest, of course, would assume people were losing their faith. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

It’s a bitter sweet day today. It’s 5 years since I opened a new business bank account in the name of Rockpoint Leisure & deposited £1m with the aim of regenerating our town. To date we have spent £7.5m+ with only £3k from WBC, & £0 from @LpoolCityRegion @luhc @MetroMayorSteve

I was recently on a panel when an #hr leader encouraged folks from multiple companies to "bring their whole selves to work." No nuance; just an open call to show up fully in the spirit of engagement. Though well intended, this advice is reckless. 🧵/1
