An important day tomorrow. Are you with me in my utter detestation of the soapy horror of this so called “aromatic herb”?

“I’ve had the privilege of visiting Ukraine and meeting an enormous number of people there, and I’ve been staggered by their resilience and by their determination. It is a free country, it’s a democratic country where free speech is venerated and people are allowed to say what they think and behave as they want. Something very, very different from Russia.” Britain’s national treasure, the always compassionate and infinitely eloquent Stephen Fry @stephenfryactually, has recorded a message of support for Ukrainians. Thank you, Stephen! Always looking forward to seeing you in Ukraine🇺🇦 #StandWithUkraine
There is a well-known cartoon in The New Yorker magazine depicting President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in his pyjamas, on his knees next to his bed, saying a prayer for his wife, the most active first lady in history. ‘Dear Lord, please make Eleanor tired tomorrow’. I can imagine the friends and family of @stephenfryactually saying the same prayer, for there’s very little Stephen doesn’t do. Actor, comedian, television host, director, a prolific writer with four novels, three autobiographies and countless columns in national papers. But should you ask, as I’ve been doing, the people who know him really well. What Stephen is best at, they will answer, being a friend. As for me, I love this man. All he stands for, and quite simply who he is. And I would change the FDR prayer. I would say, ‘Dear Lord, we all need Stephen Fry. Please do not make him tired tomorrow’. Listen to @ruthiestable4: Stephen Fry in partnership with Moncler – out now.

Tradition is NEVER an excuse for cruelty 💔 BREAKING: @stephenfryactually teams up with @PETAUK to expose the shocking connection between blood sport and the King’s Guard’s bearskin caps. Hunters deliberately bait the bears with buckets of smelly, greasy food, before shooting the unsuspecting animals with crossbows – a form of hunting that has been ILLEGAL in the UK for over 50 years. PETA and luxury faux furrier ECOPEL have created a fabulous faux bear fur that is indistinguishable from the real thing – so WHY isn’t the @ministryofdefence using it? Urge the MoD to stop wasting taxpayers’ money and sponsoring bait and kill sport hunting of mothers and other bears by going fur-free, link in @PETAUK’s bio. petauk.org/helpbears #ModGoFurFree

After I broke my pelvis, hip, leg and ribs in a fall, rehabilitation was vital in getting me back on my feet. I’m supporting this campaign to make rehabilitation services available no matter where you live. Rehabilitation is just as important as medicine and surgery in helping people reclaim their lives after injury, illness or because of long-term conditions. Everyone deserves access to rehab and I back this campaign to have rehab reps in every hospital to ensure everyone gets the right help at the right time. Please sign the petition to make rehab a universal right in the U.K. at PETITIONFORREHAB.COM #righttorehab #patientsfirsts

Labong’s parents were not always able to afford her school fees, but thanks to support from @_mccfoundation her talent as a cricketer was identified by the Ugandan national team and her school now provides her with a scholarship and a free education. The MCC Foundation recently travelled from its HQ at @homeofcricket to visit its projects in Rwanda and Uganda where it partners with Cricket Without Boundaries in a joint mission to make the game accessible to all. The region’s lush green countryside, its overt welcome and joyful spirit make a powerful impression… and for thousands of youngsters, cricket truly is transforming lives. @cricketwithoutboundaries @rwandacricketassoc @uganda_cricket_association @ecb_cricket @icc #cricket #rwanda #uganda #eastafrica #sport #charity #mccfoundation #cwb
