Graham Thorpe’s widow believes he would still be alive if there had been more support from the England and Wales Cricket Board after he left his coaching role with the governing body.
Thorpe – one of the most respected batters of his generation and England’s assistant coach as recently as 2021 – killed himself last August following a long battle with anxiety and depression.

The Panorama edit was clumsy. But the facts remain. It was a violent insurrection to upend a democratic vote. Looking at the wild outrage here, we’d be forgiven for thinking Jan 6th never happened. In terms of bias, this is off the scale worse. With Farage delighting in the damage.
