Sir Ed Davey has urged the Scottish Government to speed up progress on Anne’s Law as a vital protection for people in care.

The law is named after Anne Duke, 63, whose daughter Natasha Hamilton was blocked from seeing her mum for months during the pandemic along with thousands of other families.
Speaking during his final visit to Scotland before Thursday’s election, Sir Ed said: “I’d like to support the Sunday Mail’s campaign for Anne’s Law.
“Willie Rennie has talked about Anne Duke with me and during Covid he did a lot of work on trying to allow families with loved ones in care homes to be able to see them. It’s critical that they do.

Sir Ed has spoken previously about his experience of caring for both his mum and his disabled son John and the challenges and joys of the role.
Yesterday the party leader travelled to North East Fife to play shinty with local candidate Wendy Chamberlain, then joined Edinburgh West candidate Christine Jardine at a circus skills workshop.
Sir Ed said the campaign was “going a bit better than

Andrew Barker Senior Features Writer In his classic 1994 essay “How Tracy Austin Broke My Heart,” David Foster Wallace pondered why so many athlete memoirs — and tennis player memoirs in particular — fail to provide sports fans with what they really want to know. What does it feel like to fail in front of millions of people? How does a human being handle such intense pressure? What actually goes through one’s mind in those do-or-die moments where the difference between eternal glory and lifelong disappointment is one tiny miscalculation or half-second’s hesitation? Maybe, Wallace eventually concludes, the answer to that last question is “nothing much at all,” and “the real secret behind top athletes’ genius may be as esoteric and obvious and dull and profound as silence itself.” In his two previous sports documentaries, “Senna” and “Diego Maradona,” filmmaker Asif Kapadia has gone a great distance toward disproving Wallace’s thesis, using ingeniously edited archival footage to probe the psyches of Formula One champion Ayrton Senna and soccer god Maradona in all their noisy complexity.

There aren’t many places in the UK where you can experience opera inside a cave, see a hotel where Mary Queen of Scots reputedly stayed and drink the freshest mineral water available (although you might want to add an ice cube or two), yet you can do all of this in Buxton.
