The grown-ups/cavalry are returning. Is Rishi Sunak, a PM who knows his history, resorting to the tradition of former PMs Arthur Balfour and Alec Douglas Home by appointing former PM David Cameron For Sec? Peter Carrington was the last For Sec in the Lords, outstanding he was too

Thinking of Douglas Gillespie, and his vision for a path of peace today in particular. Keep watching the Western Front Way website for details of London walks in the next few months. Such a shame today’s walk in Hyde Park had to be cancelled.

We are very sadly having to postpone the one hour silent Western Front Way/Path of Peace walk on Sunday 12 November because of the volatile temperature in London. Please pass this message on to others.

Deeply sorry to hear that Old Palace School is closing, having given outstanding education to girls for over 100 years. My heart goes out to the girls and teachers, present and past. My late wife Joanna loved teaching there in the 1980s. So sad when a great school has to close.

He'll be glad: I agree.

On 5 October, I am hosting a conference - with experts - to celebrate and explore Character Education. Join me: epsomcollege.bookinglive.com/book/add/p/84
