1/ In 1990, my dad, Paul Kutchinsky, made the world's biggest jewelled egg. It flew Concorde as Mr Egg, starred on Wogan, and destroyed everything he built. This is that story. 🧵

There's consensus around the need to invest more in childcare, with a major increase announced last Parliament and confirmed in the recent Budget. Spending in England this year (2024-25) is 41 per cent higher in real terms than a decade ago (2014-15) – up from £5.1 billion to £7.2 billion a year.

"Bluesky’s growth has exploded, more than doubling to 15 million-plus users as people seek alternatives to X. It has rocketed to the top of Apple’s & Google’s app stores as the most downloaded free app. Its ascent has been so rapid that the company has been forced to grow up practically overnight."
The Bluesky app is designed to let users have more control over the kind of social media posts they see. Bluesky is “built by the people, for the people,” said Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer.
