🗣️ "My father left Cape Verde at 16. He went to Portugal, working in cafes – he was a keen baker and chef – and then he got work with a shipping company, went to the Netherlands and settled in Belgium. An Irish Ferries captain used to go into his cafe and then convinced him to go to Ireland for a weekend. He got there and never went back!"

The centre-back's journey from Ireland to #WorldCup2026 is incredible

I'm excited to be leading a workshop at Edinburgh book festival in August. This would be best for those who have already done some reporting or research with the aim of writing a non-fiction book. https://t.co/GNTr1SB4lz

‘Difference is the essence of humanity. Difference is an accident of birth, and it should therefore never be the source of hatred or conflict. Therein lies a most fundamental principle of peace: respect for diversity.’

[Bianca Jagger Nicaraguense por gracia de Dios 🇳🇮 @BiancaJagger]

👉🏿@Geordie_Greig your obituary of David Hockney in the @Independent is by far the best. You captured the essence of the man, of the artist, his joie de vivre, his indomitable and mischievous character, his irreverence. It is a tribute of love from someone who had the privileged to know him. I loved your quote:
"He outshone art professors with better insight, knowledge and eloquence. He was funny and self-aware...He just wanted art and not for any horizons to be limited".
