The best of British - outgoing Chancellor Jeremy Hunt expresses confidence in Starmer and Rachel Reeves, encourages NHS reform he couldn’t do and celebrates “the magic of democracy” with a shout out to Ukraine. Glad he survived and hope he becomes Tory Leader.
@poisonarrow@UKRunChat 60% of the way through any race is the lowest point for me. 3k into a 5k, 16 miles into a marathon... I:

Can anyone recommend a good running documentary to get me in the mood for training? I have polished off: Boston The Documentary, Barkley Marathon, and Spirit of the Marathon in the last week! (which are all brilliant by the way, even for non-runners) @UKRunChat#ukrunchat
