@nedboulting The Tour de France on ITV4 has been one of the highlights of my summer. Due in no small part to the wonderful commentary from you all.
I can’t tell you how relieved I am that you will still be a part of my joy in the TDF. I can’t wait to see what you do next year.
It was great to see everyone GLOW and speak about their mental health in Birmingham and Edinburgh.
We're excited for the next 20km night walk in London on 19 Oct.

@almurray@WeHaveWaysPod @ww2wtg @James1940@PenguinUKBooks Brilliantly written and a new and innovative approach to the subject, that by being focussed somehow offers a superb insight into the whole battle. First rate and something for the author to be proud of.
@almurray The wholehearted commemoration by the local population, not just this year, but every year, must make this one of the most poignant remembrance locations.
@prodnose Dan, there is not a single crowd of yours who would want you to limit yourself in this way. The flow of your stories renders time entirely moot. Have at it.
Wonderful to have the company of @nedboulting & @millarmind for 3 weeks of the Tour de France. Guys, is this a reminder of new team names I spotted? 😀
Here is Ian Acheson’s devastating letter resigning from the Tory Party in fury at the PM’s failure to attend the international section of the D Day commemoration. Mr Acheson is a former prison governor and advisor to the government on countering extremism
Dear sir,
I am writing to resign my membership of the Conservative Party with immediate effect.
If you are at all interested in knowing why, you might want to watch yesterday's news coverage again to understand the depth of feeling around this country's Prime Minister shunning his duty to our few remaining veterans in Normandy to scuttle back to London to do a news piece defending an indefensible tax claim. Electioneering ahead of a solemn commemoration of those who gave so much for the freedoms we enjoy today is simply unforgivable. And, I might add, alien to the core values of the party I joined.
It was an act of either colossal stupidity or cynical calculation. Either way, it revealed to me that while I still embrace a conservative philosophy, I am no longer willing to have it outsourced to a bunch of mendacious, incompetent and disreputable clowns. Country before party. Always.
Yours sincerely
Ian Acheson
Recently volunteered at @NELandSeaAir museum (I know some of the IC/ @WeHaveWaysPod folks visited last year). I'm working on helping build their social media profile so if you could give us a follow it would be HUGELY appreciated. It's got a Vulcan AND a Whirlwind...
