Andy Airey, Mike Palmer and Tim Owen, known as 3 Dads Walking, caught the attention of Hollywood star Daniel Craig with a 300-mile walk last year. The trio from Morland in Cumbria, Sale in Greater Manchester and Shouldham in Norfolk all lost daughters to suicide. Now they plan to visit all of the parliaments in the UK during a month-long, 600-mile fundraising trek.

Oxford University accused of snubbing Theresa May in row over portraits celebrating diversity
Oxford University has been accused of awarding itself a ‘first class degree in political correctness’ after snubbing Theresa May’s achievements in a series of portraits celebrating diversity. The prime minister is one of a number of notable women absent from the list of former Oxford University students chosen to reflect its ‘commitment to inclusivity’. Oxford has announced the commission of 24 portraits to be displayed around the university reflecting sitters from a variety of backgrounds. The university said last night that Mrs May was omitted from the list because no staff or students currently at Oxford had bothered to nominate her. The row echoes the furore over the university’s refusal to award Margaret Thatcher with an honorary degree in 1985. Among those to be painted or photographed include Ken Loach, the left-wing film director, the BBC journalist Reeta Chakrabarti, the broadcaster Dame Esther Rantzen and Kelsey Leonard, the first Native American to graduate … [Read more...] about Oxford University accused of snubbing Theresa May in row over portraits celebrating diversity
