R.I.P. Pope Francis, who once washed the feet of refugees from different religions and said: “We are different, we have different cultures and religions, but we are brothers.” His humble Ford Focus rides and refusal of the palace showed a man who truly lived his message.

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.'

Why do people lie about taking Ozempic? It is a damning indictment of society’s view of body weight that those with obesity feel shame in using effective medication #endweightstigma #obesityisnotachoice theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
