Very sorry to hear about Max Mosley's death.
He had a difficult start to life but ended up making a significant contribution to life in the UK through his road safety initiatives and through his dogged campaign to uncover phone hacking at the News of the World.
One episode sums him up. While president of the FIA in 1994, the Brazilian F1 ace Ayrton Senna died on the track at the San Marino Grand Prix, prompting headlines around the world. Global leaders and everyone who was anyone in F1 attended Senna's funeral in São Paulo.

Astonishing.
From @prospect_uk’s comparison of the German and UK responses to Covid.
Very sorry to hear of the death of Richard Garner, The Independent's long-serving education editor.
He was a very good journalist and such a lovely man.

First time I've seen an anti-tech rebellion spill over into actual life.

Are the royalties from David Cameron’s book going to charity?
Media coverage gives this impression, but I am not sure.
The key issue is whether is reported £800k advance is going to charity.
A journalist might want to ask him that question.
1/3
So it would be good to know:
1. Is HarperCollins is donating the book’s profits to charity?
2. Is David Cameron donating his £800k advance to charity?
If not, it’s possible - so far as I can see - that charities will only benefit if sales are very high.
