A reminder of one of the loveliest pairs of siblings in the dictionary: ‘muscle’ and ‘mouse’. To the Roman imagination, the flexed biceps of a (typically naked) athlete resembled a rodent scuttling under the skin. ‘Musculus’, in Latin, means ‘little mouse’.

More than £10.5bn of UK pension savings are invested in thermal coal - the world’s dirtiest fossil fuel.
That’s bad for pension savers, the economy, and the climate.
