By Robert Cooper Published 2 hours ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing People with a chronic fatigue illness are struggling to access medical help, a charity has claimed. Figures sourced by the BBC show many Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) patients are being discharged just months after starting treatment. Action for ME chief executive Sonya Chowdhury said ME had been "neglected for decades" with patients finding services "inaccessible". Health Secretary Sajid Javid has announced plans to better tackle ME . Stephen Hocking from Keswick, Cumbria, was diagnosed with ME 15 months ago and said the condition had been "devastating", but there was a lack of medical understanding. "When I was finally diagnosed nobody explained what it was or how it would affect my life," he told BBC Politics North .

Little bits and pieces. That was what Lewis Hamilton spoke of ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix on Friday. Little bits and pieces which Mercedes’s engineers have changed on the set-up of his car, and the sister model of team-mate Valtteri Bottas after they were squashed by Ferrari in Monte Carlo. Whatever those little bits and pieces were – and it’s believe that they centred upon minor adjustments such as brake balance and suspension settings in order to get the tyres working in their correct temperature window – they appeared to make a big difference here. The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Montreal’s Ile Notre Dame is a different track to Monaco in many ways – it’s much quicker for a start, with top speeds significantly exceeding 300 km/h and has a more slippery surface, but like the Principality it’s also one massive brake test. Its heavy demands on braking see drivers jumping hard on the left pedal for 19 per cent of the lap, and experiencing decelerative forces up to … [Read more...] about Canadian Grand Prix 2017: Kimi Raikkonen has a point to prove as ‘little bits and pieces’ help Lewis Hamilton

Published 27 April 2015 Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Two self-portraits by Francis Bacon are going on public display for the first time after being rediscovered in a private collection, before being sold. Although experts knew the works by the late painter existed, they had no idea who had bought them. Descendants of the original owner have decided to sell the paintings, which are expected to fetch up to £15m each. The artworks are titled Self-Portrait 1975 and Three Studies for Self-Portrait (1980). A Bacon painting featuring his friend and fellow artist Lucian Freud, became the most expensive artwork ever sold at auction when it fetched $142m (£89m) in New York in 2013. Oliver Barker, Sotheby's senior international specialist in contemporary art, described the discovery of the portraits as "a pretty extraordinary collecting moment".

Published 2 July 2015 Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Two self-portraits by Francis Bacon kept hidden in a private collection for many years sold for a combined £30m at a sale at Sotheby's in London. Self-Portrait (1975) and Three Studies for Self-Portrait (1980) were known to exist but it was not known who owned them. The descendents of the collector decided to put them up for auction earlier this year. The sale also saw Andy Warhol's One Dollar Bill fetch £20.9m. Bacon's Self-Portrait 1975 sold for £15.3m, while the triptych Three Studies for Self-Portrait reached £14.7m. But the artist's Study for a Pope I failed to attract high enough bids to meet the reserve, having had an estimate of £25-35m. It was one of six pope paintings he created for an exhibition at the Tate in 1961. "It wasn't the night for that one picture," said Oliver Barker, … [Read more...] about Francis Bacon portraits held privately sold for £30m

Published 3 November 2015 Share close Share page Copy link About sharing The future of Bristol's St Pauls carnival has been put into doubt after organisers have their funding pulled. Bristol City Council and Arts Council England said it was withholding funds from St Pauls Afrikan Caribbean Carnival (SPACC) with immediate effect. In a statement, the council said its funding criteria included a carnival but SPACC had failed to deliver one in 2015 and had no "clear plans" for 2016. Cleo Lake, from SPACC, said she "cannot understand" the decision. The annual carnival, which is a celebration of the city's Afro-Caribbean culture, dates back to the 1960s and is normally held in July. It is one of the biggest of its kind in Europe, with tens of thousands of people attending in 2014 .
