re Geraint Thomas leading out Mark Cavendish at the Giro today- great story - I remember after Thomas won the Tour in 2018, Cavendish wrote a column for the Telegraph in which he recalled a similar act of selflessness in stage 1 of that race

The third (and likely final) series of Ladhood is here. My undying gratitude to everyone who's ever worked on or supported it. Never forget. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0…

He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him and leaves behind the gift of his remarkable music and profound humanity. Terry often left the stage at the end of The Specials’ life-affirming shows with three words…“Love Love Love” (3/4)

Fossil fuel addiction is hijacking humanity. Renewables are the exit ramp from the climate hell highway. Negotiators at #COP27 have a chance to make a difference. They must make it here and now.

It is with great sadness that we announce the demise of @HenrySwan13. He has, after 37 years, forsaken his mortal wings and gone to serve the #FaeryQueen in the #Otherworld. Feared by most but loved by many, you will be missed Sir… #Grasmere #LakeDistrict @ThePhotoHour

I was happy to meet the community of the first village in India to have round the clock solar energy. Renewable energy is the answer to limiting climate disruption and boosting energy security.
