Whoever is in charge needs to have Alison Hammond present the entire Invictus Games next year. Her interview with Prince Harry was absolutely brilliant. Star duo. Harry is such a star and Alison is great at this
'I will forever be grateful because, for all the things he could have done with his power, influence, and time, he chose to change mine and my friends' lives'
Invictus Games ambassador, JJ Chalmers, speaks about the impact Prince Harry has had on the Games and veterans.
"Under the editorship of Paul Dacre, the Daily Mail published a whole series of articles in the 2000’s containing private information without any “public interest” justification. The articles speculated on the paternity of children, disclosed medical information, information about mental health crises, about individuals’ sexual orientation."
Jacqui Hames on the disturbing intrusions committed by the Mail in the 2000s:

Denmark has a new king, the King and Queen get approximately $500,000 from the Danish Government a year, and the whole family is worth $40m.
In the UK King Charles gets $180,000,000 a year and his family is worth $25bn.
We need to be more like Denmark.
Unlike William and Kate, I couldn't afford to put my son's name down for Eton. But I did manage to get him on the waiting list for an NHS dentist, which is at least a start.
As Meghan heads to Switzerland at the WHO’s invitation to speak, brace for the inevitable British tabloid onslaught.
We have seen this playbook countless times: a deluge of sneering coverage, not because her work lacks merit, but precisely because it succeeds so compellingly.
Contrast Kate’s recent Italy trip, hyped as a triumph, yet the one public speaking moment was so awkward that even her loyal media buried it in silence.
James O’Brien nails the double standard here with forensic precision: the vitriol isn’t about substance, it’s ENVY.
Harry and Meghan are simply better at this.
Watch the clip, then watch the predictable script unfold again this week.
The pattern is unmistakable. 👇👇👇
@DrTedros@WHO This vest is the garment worn by WHO personnel when they are deployed in the field. When epidemiologists go into outbreak zones. When health workers go into conflict areas. When the organisation's people go to the places where the work is actually happening on the ground 1/
Heather,
In 1999, you were eight years old, playing on a beach in Devon. It should have been a carefree family holiday - sand between your toes, salt in the air, laughter all around you.
Instead, you contracted E. coli O157 - an infection linked to sewage pollution.
There is no treatment.
Within days, it caused catastrophic kidney failure. Within two weeks, your parents were forced to make the most unimaginable decision - to switch off your life support.
More than 25 years later, @Channel4's Dirty Business brings your story back into the national conversation. But behind every drama, every headline, every statistic - there is you. A little girl. A daughter. A life cut heartbreakingly short.
Heather, this is why campaigners across the country are demanding urgent action to rescue our rivers, lake and seas - so no other family has to say goodbye because our waters were not safe.
Your story should never have happened.
And it must never happen again.

Actually going out to check a sewage outfall that illegally discharges 750,000,000 million litres of sewage every year?
Priceless.
There are some things a government regulator with a budget of £189,000,000 & 12,000 staff can’t do.
For everything else, there’s volunteer river guardians.
"The privatisation of the water industry has failed and is no longer fit for purpose."
287,761 people have already signed @SOSWhitstable's petition, I would really like to see that cross 300,000.
You know what you need to do internet.

Anybody heard from govt this morning? Anybody heard from this regulators this morning? Anybody heard from a water company this morning? Anybody heard from the industry this morning?
Of course not.
