Very much not the point but challenge to UK politicians and commentators: stop saying "nucular"

Catching up on Kuenssberg interview with Home Secretary. Not a political comment but just struck by phrasing in intro to a question: "There's a big immigration summit in London this week. People from all sorts of countries are coming"

My designs get lots of publicity in magazines and online and it looks like I’m doing really well. The reality is that it’s bloody hard work being self employed and it’s not getting any easier. Have a look at what I do and repost. Thanks. gailmyerscough.co.uk

NEW: Proud to share my first report as lead author with @centreforlondon.bsky.social and make the case for a more equitable economy in West London and across the capital. 👇 To do this, London needs more devolution to boost economic growth and provide better outcomes for all Londoners.

Meet the destroyer HMS Glowworm. In April 1940 she was forced to fight the German Heavy Cruiser Admiral Hipper, ten times her size, and Hipper's destroyer escorts. Her extraordinary last stand earned her captain the first Victoria Cross of WW2. In part because THE GERMANS nominated him for one /1 🧵

This festive season, it's important to remember that Outer London's Christmas landmarks and attractions are just as good as Inner London's! (Yes, I may be a bit biased, but nonetheless!). Great to see TfL's new Xmas map pay homage to Outer London's great attractions this winter.

I'm once again asking for a show where a librarian, a bookseller, and a carpenter travel around helping people manage their out-of-control book collections. Discuss their sentimental value, their rarity, their histories, then build amazing book nooks and shelves and little libraries to organize them

Joe Root has today surpassed Alistair Cook’s record of test centuries by an English batsman. He is also 7th on the all time test runs list, I do believe that the brilliant Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 15,921 ‘may’ be under threat. Root is in the form of his life, and at 33, he has plenty of time.

V good thread on legal & constitutional obstacles to governmental reform. One option might be to create legal structures/duties for specific topics (housing, community cohesion, climate) - a legally constituted ministerial board, statutory duties for ministers to cooperate with one another

Good thread. I think (as you'd expect) that a place-based accountability system could help to resolve a lot of the challenges. But designing how it would work and moving from here to there is much easier said than done.
