After a surreal few days, I’m delighted that we have navigated a way through this. I want to thank you all for the incredible support, particularly my colleagues at BBC Sport, for the remarkable show of solidarity. Football is a team game but their backing was overwhelming. 1/4

Vale Hilary Mantel. Aside from the trilogy, her memoir is wonderful, her writing about Saudi Arabia and mysteriously moving furniture too. When I need a dose of good writing, I sometimes return to this, which I consider one of the best essays I have read: theguardian.com/books/2017/a

If you are so sure that Putin is wildly popular and would crush all opponents in a free and fair election, then why is @navalny in jail? Why has Navalny never been allowed to compete against Putin in a free and fair election?
