My dog after eating my philosophy book

As front pages go, this one's so beautiful.

RIP David Hockney, 88. One of Britain’s greatest ever artists, a Yorkshireman to his bootstraps, my neighbour in Kensington (often saw him on local manoeuvres, albeit in a wheelchair more recently) and a wonderful character. Loved his quote: ‘Laugh a lot, it clears the lungs.’

After the horrific few weeks we've all had, I'm not sure who needs to see this, but I certainly did. My Mum just sent it to me. Here is a beautiful Roe deer chewing her plants at her house in the Cotswolds this morning. Hope you enjoy the momentary timeline cleanse.

Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary. They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them. They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera footage, knowing how painful it would be and how strongly people would react. They did so because they want truth, accountability and change. They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that. We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change. Henry’s family do not want anger to tear communities apart. They are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. His family want his memory to help bring our society together. Everyone knows I have strong views about how we should deal with equality under the law. What the family agreed with me on is that we need to bring common sense back, and that is what we should all be fighting for. I promised the family that we will work to ensure there is a positive legacy for Henry out of this tragedy. That is my focus now.

We send our heartfelt support and warmest wishes to Kevin Keegan and his family following his recent diagnosis of stage four cancer. Kevin holds a unique and cherished place in the history of Newcastle United, and in the hearts of our supporters. His passion, leadership and connection to the club and city have shaped some of our most memorable moments. Everyone at the club is behind Kevin and sends strength and best wishes to him and his family for the journey ahead. Kevin will always be warmly welcomed at St. James' Park and we hope to see him again soon. 🖤🤍

The BBC should have sent a hypnotist.

Pharmacists will be able to assess, treat and supply a wider range of medicines from this Autumn. The Government says it's part of a £340 million deal that will help take the pressure off GP surgeries and hospitals. But industry representatives say the deal does not go far enough - and won't help slow down the number of pharmacies that are closing every year. @NickDixonITV explains at a pharmacy in Eastleigh #goodmorningbritain #health

In 1943, the Gestapo finally caught Raymond Aubrac — one of France's most wanted Resistance leaders. He was sentenced to death. His execution was days away. His wife Lucie was six months pregnant. Most people would have hidden. Would have grieved quietly and prayed for a miracle. Lucie Aubrac did something else entirely. She obtained forged identity papers, constructed a cover story, and walked straight into the office of Klaus Barbie — the man history would remember as the Butcher of Lyon — and convinced him to grant her a visit with the condemned man. She wasn't there to say goodbye. She was memorizing guard positions. Counting minutes. Mapping the route the prison truck would take. On October 21, 1943, that truck rolled through the streets of Lyon carrying Raymond and other prisoners toward what should have been the end. Lucie had spent weeks quietly assembling a team of Resistance fighters, planning an ambush with the precision of a military operation. When the truck reached the ambush point, the team struck — fast, coordinated, and without hesitation. In the chaos of gunfire and confusion, Raymond Aubrac was pulled free. Lucie — visibly, unmistakably pregnant — had organized every detail of his liberation. They went into hiding. Weeks later, Lucie gave birth to their daughter in a safe house while German forces searched for them across France. When liberation finally came, the Aubracs didn't merely survive — they rebuilt. Raymond became a celebrated engineer and entered public life. Lucie became a historian, pouring decades into ensuring that the women of the French Resistance — so often unnamed, so easily forgotten — were written permanently into the record. They raised three children. They traveled the world. They argued and laughed and grew old together. When journalists asked Lucie, years later, what had compelled her to risk everything that October day, she didn't hesitate. "He was my husband. What else would I do?" Lucie Aubrac passed away in 2007 at the age of 94. Raymond — who had once needed a commando team to be freed from a German prison — lived on until 2012, reaching 97 years old. In his final years, he continued speaking publicly about the Resistance, about memory, about the obligation to tell the truth. They had been married for 64 years. Not a love story built on grand gestures or perfect circumstances. A love story built in occupied France, in safe houses and forged documents and a prison truck ambush on a Lyon street — forged in fire, and never broken. True love doesn't wait for rescue. Sometimes, it does the rescuing
