'What made Reiner especially distinctive was that he never seemed embarrassed by sincerity. In an industry that often rewards irony over earnestness, he remained committed to humanism. He believed in people, in connection, in the idea that stories can make us kinder as well as wiser.'

Very much looking forward to this concert tomorrow, celebrating the composers of the BBC Singers. Particularly excited to be giving two first performances... Route Connections by Helen Neeves, and my own Sing My Name, with texts by Marianne James.

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

Kazimierz Nowak and his bicycle in an African desert, circa 1930s.

Nowak, a Polish traveler, reporter, and photographer, was probably the first person to cross Africa alone from north to south and then from south to north. He took more than 10,000 photos of his journey.
