@wallaceme It's a brilliant adaptation. Not a big Le Carre fan, I find his style quite leaden, but these stories I love!

This has also prompted me to relisten to the complete BBC Smiley adaptations, with Simon Russell Beale, on Audible. 18 hours of Le Carré goodness for the price of one (one!) audiobook. A delight.

I enjoyed the new George Smiley book - Karla’s Choice - but I’m not sure there were anti-aircraft trains in the Russo-Japanese War, a conflict in which there were no combat airplanes. I wish this was my geekiest episode of pedantry, but it’s not even close.

Political divisions feel so intractable and immovable, but Jimmy Carter is still alive and his winning electoral map looks INSANE to a 2020s observer.

@DanniMason11 @andyratcliffe9 So, so sorry for your loss. Danni was an amazing colleague at EEF - warm, funny, brilliant, thoughtful - and utterly committed to making a positive difference in everything she did x

This is @andyratcliffe9, Danni's husband. I'm so so sad to have to say that Danni passed away last week after a long illness. Her funeral will take place on 9 October and the details are here: poetic-endings.com/celebrating-th… Please feel free to pass this on to others who knew Danni

@Samfr Thanks for writing this, Sam, it's so sad. Danni was immensely clever, very funny, with real integrity. And with a real passion for evidence and research as an engine for change.

Reem Alsalem UNSR Violence Against Women and Girls
Many of the inputs I have received for my upcoming report on violence against women and girls in sport and which i will present at #GA79 in October, stress the need to maintain single-sex spaces for safety, fairness and basic human dignity. This week at #PARIS2024 we may all witness the damaging consequences for women and girls when the principle of sex separation in sports is not respected. I will be watching the Olympic boxing matches with utmost concern. Determining an athlete’s sex can be simple, accurate, and dignified: it only requires a single cheek swab in a lifetime.

Spoke to IOC and few others for this. Imagine it might blow up further >>> Boxers who failed gender tests at world championships cleared to compete at Olympics theguardian.com/sport/article/…

This will be the first Presidential election since 1976 to not have a Biden, Bush, or Clinton on the ticket.

So sad to hear about the passing of Ray Reardon. A titan of snooker. A marvellous man. And this story about his days in the mines is still one of the most astonishing I’ve ever heard…
