I have difficulty following what she is saying and when her and Phil talk over each other itโ€™s really hard. Womenโ€™s cycling coverage deserves so much better than two people watching from overseas.

Oxford academics drank from cup made from human skull, book reveals Decades-long use of chalice at Worcester College highlights violent colonial history of looted human remains, says Prof Dan Hicks

Sickening. The government must legislate to tackle the ongoing holding, display and collection of human remains acquired through enslavement and colonisation.
