amazing book launch on Thursday for Saffie at the Anthony Burgess centre in Manchester

Can’t thank people enough for coming. We heard from Ben Taylor (Sunday Times editor); Andy Burnham Mayor for Greater Manchester; Pete Weatherby; the nurses and medics of Wythenshawe hospital.

Incredible

I’ve written an extended post on the passing of Steve White on LinkedIn. The northern news editor of the Mirror and assistant editor. 41 years at the paper. A legend and inspiration to so many. RIP Steve.
