The French exit polls may be out here in Paris... but something a bit more important may have happened at the same time.

My portrait of #SirDavidAttenborough which was unveiled today @theroyalsociety
It’s been the greatest honour and thrill to paint him, am only sad the sittings are finished and I’ll no longer have an excuse to bask in his brilliant, charismatic and entertaining company

Have to say when we said Britain would be on strike this winter I didn’t think it would include Match of the Day

Everybody knows what Match of the Day means to me, but I’ve told the BBC I won’t be doing it tomorrow. Solidarity.

#YouMeBigC podcaster. Journalist. Fundraiser.
Our friend and colleague Dame Deborah James has died.
She created an incredible legacy: breaking the poo taboo and raising awareness of bowel cancer.
We are heartbroken, and our condolences are with her family.

Fun little trick in the Sunday New York Times crossword yesterday: the central theme clue was "The better of two sci-fi franchises", and regardless of whether you put Star Wars or Star Trek, the crossing clues worked

A quick thread on in the importance of being careful what data you share - even if you're the Queen. Today, Her Maj tweeted this lovely picture, gor bless er, etc. You might think that the contents of the red box would be official business. And you'd be right. 1/6

I’m going Brighton —> Leeds and back today. The train is costing about £195. I reckon if I drove it would probably cost less than £70 in fuel. The cost of train travel is such a huge block in the practical ability to be environmentally friendly in this country
