Excited for tomorrow's Le Tour Stage 14. On holiday in Les Vosges the two weeks before Le Tour started & travelled through part of the Stage route. Took photographs of the road decorations already installed & are going to play spot the decor: share.icloud.com/photos/0358s... #TdF

Thoroughly enjoying this delightful weather in NW England. Especially after the grim wet of the winter where squeezing our cocker spaniel puppy paws and washing mud off him was a frustration for us both.

This was same compromise reached when May decided to make Boris Johnson Foreign Secretary, albeit in his case he was barred from ALL top classified information, not just China's. And then the UK allowed him to become PM, with those safeguards removed. Where was this level of UK MSM outrage then?!

10.25 AM. UK National Grid is currently whacking out 65.8% output by wind alone, solar another 23.3%. We are generating 114% of our demand & exporting 10% (4.7GW) to Europe & also replenish our pumped storage supply - using 4%. Fossil fuel is only generating 7.9% of output. #renewables #windpower

Farage, Yusef et al practising performative politics. One of my Grandad’s would have said “all fur coat & no knickers”. Richard Amarayo has won a BAFTA for depicting a John Davidson in the film I, Swear. What a beautiful portrayal of a person who has had a very hard life. Yet given to so many.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

I was so lucky. I grew up with a Great Grandma who was born in 1893. Her twin brother died from flu in 1917. Her husband died at 55 from lung damage in the trenches in WW1. She loved the progress for peace in the world and taught me, my siblings and cousins how important peace was.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

After the dreadful visit to the White House that Zelensky endured with the utterly disrespectful Americans, I am perceiving the support provided by the UK & EU heads of state as positive for Ukrainians & by extension Europe & the UK. Criminals should not be determining the future of Ukrainians.

Back in 2017...after 16 years in Afghanistan, the U.S. is looking for ways to offset the billions of dollars spent every year in propping up the government in Kabul and mining is increasingly being seen as a way to do that. Deja-vu anyone? www.reuters.com/article/us-u...

Trump, Ghani agree U.S. can help develop Afghanistan's rare earth minerals
U.S. President Donald Trump and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani on Thursday backed having companies from the United States develop Afghanistan's reserves of rare earth minerals, despite formidable obstacles to industrial mining in the country.
