I can vouch for this heart warming sentiment as a two time grandpa now!

Such a pleasure to receive this award from Jessica Truong & Siddharth Vinayak Patankar. Change makers that have been part of the success GlobalNCAP.

Totally surprised & very touched to receive GlobalNCAP Award at #NCAP24 this evening. It has been a great journey from beginnings of Euro NCAP in 1996 to see such global growth in vehicle star ratings help to build a market for safer cars worldwide.

“NCAPs empower consumers by educating them when buying cars. Our presence at #NCAP24 is a renewal of efforts to reengage with the international road safety community.” Sophie Shulman, Deputy Administrator, nhtsagov

“Road Safety is a multi sectoral issue, nobody can address it alone, only together can we achieve it. Today at #NCAP24 , we bring together those who test the cars, the car makers, the governments, civil society, to see how we can achieve more results, faster.” Etienne Krug

“We’ve seen a great deal of improvement throughout our #SaferCarsForIndia campaign but it’s clear that maintaining this safety momentum is crucially important. We will be discussing this & other key vehicle safety matters for India during an #NCAP24 panel session today.”

Absolutely moving and yet very meaningful message from Meera Naran. Inspiring work she is doing. And more power to her. An honour to meet her this morning at #NCAP24
SVP

“Global challenges can only be tackled together & visions need to be created & implemented as a team effort. We welcome the sweeping & global perspective for this new congress #NCAP24 – & extend our gratitude to all committed contributors who’ve made it possible.” President ADAC

Intensely moving keynote speech by Meera Naran at #NCAP24 describing the impact of the loss of her boy Dev in a crash with a truck. Her words & commitment an inspiration to all GlobalNCAP TowardZeroFoundation partners to redouble their efforts to make roads safe.

Great to be jointly hosting #NCAP24 in Munich today with our partners Euro NCAP ADAC. A unique GlobalNCAP meeting bringing together NCAPs worldwide with key stakeholders committed to building a market for safer vehicles & meeting UN #50by30 target to halve road deaths by 2030.

this is best piece you will read in Sundays. History, poetry, politics of a time when the English weren't frightened of Europe as they are today. Nikos Konstandaras George Papandreou Κώστας Φραγκογιάννης - Costas Fragoyiannis Matthew Lodge

This Financial Times piece is the best examination of US crash deaths that I've seen in ages.

The US is so bad at this: 'Even after adjusting for distance driven, US fatality rates remain 2x the rich-world average.'

Here's a quick 🧵 to share insights (paywall).

This is such a moving evocation of the 1,475 who fell under British command on the first day alone of the Battle of Normandy, 6 June 1944. In total 22,442 are commemorated British Normandy Memorial. Do visit this summer to see the giants if you can!

Looking forward to this John Smith anniversary event. I will rebut ‘one more heave’ fallacy used by some in New Labour to disparage a great Labour leader. Tony Blair was lucky to inherit The Labour Party leadership from Smith whose legacy as agent of change & progress is underestimated.

For anyone who has been interested in my lawsuit against the Sun, the news is that  I’ve had to settle my claim out of court before it gets to trial. A 🧵…
