The gulf between what London is actually like & how it is portrayed by terminally online, self-styled ‘patriots’ & their political heroes is absolutely incredible. I wonder how much it has to do with the city repeatedly electing a Muslim mayor… www.timeout.com/london/news/...

London is officially the second-best city in the world, according to a prestigious new ranking
We’ll take it.

Steel is not a relic of the past - it's the backbone of a modern industrial economy. But with jobs at risk, the industry is on its knees. In a guest blog, Advisory Board member @clarkaw.bsky.social sets out what a serious UK steel revival would take. www.goodgrowthfoundation.co.uk/news/steel-i...

This is quite a way to do HR - two million US federal employees have been offered redundancy simply by sending a one word email, “resign”

Wonder if we’ll get apologies from journalists who confidently called this wrong?

No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you. Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.

Are closer ties with the EU really an electoral minefield? Perhaps not, according to research by the @goodgrowthfdn.bsky.social. Good piece by Praful Nargund. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

So despite all the fuss and noise, new data shows that the ULEZ expansion hasn’t hurt high street spending - it’s just helped clean up London’s air 💚 www.centreforcities.org/blog/ulez-ex...

“Ridiculous, ill-informed and fuelling conspiracy theories.” Yep, that’s much of Westminster’s political “journalism” these days. www.scotsman.com/news/politic...

Questions put to Keir Starmer on Southport murders were ill-informed and fuelled conspiracy theories
The rule of law matters - and this is why certain questions put to Sir Keir Starmer at the Downing Street press conference were ill-informed

We seem to be nationalising the existing railway but privatising a new one…

Conclave is a pretty good film except for one or two moments of melodrama that had people in the cinema sniggering
