You never see Tom Watson and Jolyon Maugham in a room together. Maybe this is a cunning undercover operation to bring them down from within.

This spectacular fresco depicts Bacchus, covered in glistening grapes and accompanied by a panther, a snake and birds in front off a conical mountain (maybe Vesuvius?). I have slightly enhanced the colours for clarity. 📍 House of the Centenarian, Pompeii 🏛️📷 MANN

There's never enough Classics content here so let's talk about a couple of (as I tell my students) 'load-bearing culture words' in Latin and some of their cultural significance: beneficium: a favor, kindness, service officium: a duty, kindness, service & munus: a service, favor, obligation, gift.

It’s Ofgem’s fault. Their mandate is too narrow and they interpret it even more narrowly than they need to.

Don’t like black shirts? Fucking tell them to their faces and then walk away. I promise you they are absolutely desperate for acceptance and if they are told often enough that it’s deeply unattractive to be a nazi, they will find another club to belong to.

My perhaps contrary opinion is that it is the responsibility of society as a whole and all of us as individuals - not central government - to make the public display of fascism tendencies impossible. Everyone whingeing about Reynolds: when did you last directly challenge shitty behaviour yourself?

Fine. This is the logical conclusion of all this herding into incredibly inflexible identity groups. At least they’ll belong to something substantial.

Italian researchers found that semi-transparent solar panels over olive groves increased olive yields by 12%, reduced water evaporation by 19%, generated clean electricity, and even improved olive oil quality. 🌿⚡🫒 #Agrivoltaics #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #ClimateSolutions

Indeed. My MCR colleagues were all working with their windows closed today as we did our meetings on decarbonisation of England’s homes. If Burnham guts the decent (if not adequate) policy programme Milliband has managed to bring together I’ll never vote for the Labour Party again.

Lovely. The underwriters have made a fucking killing out of the index funds holding all our pensions being forced to buy this shit at offensively inflated valuations and now they get to make another (admittedly much smaller) killing writing a fucking note about it. What a very efficient market.
