Interested in AI governance, renaissance music and pallas cats. Can probably still play a selection of Andy Mackay solos on request.

2026’s most essential cult item is without a doubt the IKEA pallas cat www.ikea.com/gb/en/images...

THRILLED to see Take It Or Leave it on the big screen. Madness are the platonic ideal of the Pop Group imo and more entertaining on camera than pretty much anyone else.

Back at the Proms (my third of the season!) for Thomas Dunford and his Jupiter Ensemble playing Dowland and Purcell. Not sure why they’re calling it late night baroque but - anyway! Down in the pit for this one

Unnamed source demonstrated unfortunate US-isation of our body politic but other than that, lol.

I'll leave the rest of the Mandelson stuff for others to comment on, but this (from Darren Jones) is the Wrong Thing. Why would you give the security services a veto on appointments? There shd be a place for political discretion - and being held to account if that judgement turns out to be wrong.

Just nabbed tickets for The Mad King (Game of Thrones) at RSC. Happy Friday to me!

Finally saw The Secret Agent this week and it’s as fine a study into anticorruption activism and its consequences as you’re ever likely to see.
