In awarding this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wants to remind the world that the rule of law – national and international – underpins the system we have set up to ensure peace and resolve conflicts non-violently. Peace requires justice.

Today I've written to the Prime Minister and Health Secretary about the funding crisis facing hospices and palliative care. Hospices do incredible work, but they are being squeezed and it is patients and families who pay the price.

Watching Burghley horse trails via Eventing Scores live is a bit like tracking football scores on Ceefax in the olden days! Green box for each successful jump & a red one for an elimination. Fun fact, 5* events like Burghley or Badminton are tougher than the Olympics or the World Cup which are 4*.

Scoring leader board from Burghley CC15* horse trails showing the last five cross country runs with green boxes for each successful jump and red for unsuccessful ones plus the top 7 overall with their scores.

The pub opposite the Sizewell C entrance used to be a blacksmith’s forge a few hundred years ago. I had to have the name explained to me.

Pub sign against a blue sky. The sign says Vulcan Arms with three pictures: Spock, a Vulcan plane and Vulcan, Roman god of fire and forge.

Unfortunately for Charlotte, the adjudication committee decides that, for the purposes of the under-nines summer reading challenge, the six volumes of proust's 'in search of lost time' is considered to be one single narrative, whereas each of Roger hargreaves' mister men' books is a distinct work, thereby awarding the library's 'top reader' sticker to her brother Toby.

The Prime Minister is right: palliative care must be fixed. Nearly 1 in 3 people miss out on palliative care they need, while hospices face increasing financial pressure with many cutting frontline services. Hospices need fair, sustainable funding to provide expert care to everyone who needs it.
