Really sad to learn my great colleague David Hencke has just died. He was a legendary journalist, probably best known for breaking the cash for questions scandal
He was a lovely man, who loved reporting stories others missed and kept filing, even from his hospital bed. He will be hugely missed

I've never met a reporter with such a gleam in his eye for holding power to account in such a human and hopeful way.
All of us at @bylinetimes.bsky.social are so sad to have lost David Hencke. He was a brilliant reporter, but perhaps more importantly: he was a really lovely man.
Thank you, David!
