I’ve signed this petition to revoke A50 and deal with the consequences afterwards - referendum, election, whatever. I have no idea whether these things do any good but after May’s astonishingly irresponsible speech this evening I’ll give anything a go. petition.parliament.uk/petit…

So the dust is finally setting. I’ve made it back to the UK and even managed a little cycle into town yesterday 😝. The fundraising effort for @AnthonyNolan will continue for a while, however I wanted to share a few stats from my trip now that I’ve had time to catch up with life! – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Twenty years ago I was proud to join the campaign to extradite Pinochet for his crimes against the people of Chile.
Today I am in Geneva meeting Michelle Bachelet who was imprisoned and tortured by Pinochet's regime. She later became the first woman President of Chile.
