Everyone else plotted a detour. One said: let’s see.

I wasn’t a fan when I went some years ago.

2/2 but never emotions and good news.

Life is richer when you don’t expect one person, or one place, to be everything. For me, perhaps shaped by Heine and German poetry, it’s less a single shop and more a dense, vibrant wood, full of flora and fauna. Though shops are good too.

That‘s a really lovely article. My mother had a similar backstory. I remember when I told her I got a First - she burst into tears and said - oh my god - how did I get you so wrong.

She was an experimental psychologist and I had psychoanalysis - she was great to talk about poetry and trees 1/2

The UK did not take part in strikes on Iran. A government statement doesn’t endorse the attack.

“Iran must never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon and that is why we have continually supported efforts to reach a negotiated solution.”

That’s a beautiful piece - AI doesn’t have the lived experience of being human with all its imprecisions. It has never held a rose or watched it slowly unfold and finally fade.

Beautifully judged. The jus sounds as delicate as the leaf. I’ll have to revisit this.

That’s an interesting development.

Very tricky as Thames water underpins so many pensions

Delighted to be wrong 😁

That’s lovely 🥰

Reform don't want to regulate your landlord.

They don't want to regulate your employer.

But they do want to regulate your sex life.

I was listening to a podcast this morning - Sam Coates for my sins - seems to be a vibe that Labour have it.

No idea who their candidate is - but if it is a wellknown local - probably correct.

I can only think of Natalia Ginzberg - unusual for me more to read more than one or two books from an author.

Venice never seems to change, even when everything else does. Have a brilliant time.

An important reminder

Jonathan Marshal, Principal Economist at the Resolution Foundation, said: “Next week’s energy price cap announcement will show a significant drop in households bills, largely because of the Government’s £6.9 billion energy bill discount. “The policy is well designed. By reducing electricity unit rates it supports the shift towards electrification at the same time as delivering savings worth twice as much to the poorest families as to the richest, as a share of spending. “However, this support is due to end in April 2029. The Government should set out a clear and durable framework for deciding which energy policy costs are funded by bills and which through taxation soon, to avoid scrambling for a solution in an election year.”

On Wednesday, Ofgem is expected to announce that the energy price cap for Q2 2026 will be nearly £120 lower than current levels.

This policy will deliver a clear boost to living standards from April, and should help to keep bills below current levels until at least 2029.

Such a thoughtful piece.

The value of tenderness

I like that.

Almost as if you have captured the aura of the painting.

First vandalism then harassment at Gail's bakery in Archway, London. Two of Gail's founders were Israeli, but they have had nothing to do with the business for a long time. Gail's is largely owned by private equity. This type of stunt is naked antisemitism and does nothing to help the Palestinians.

Reform UK suspends by-election campaign activist over ‘antisemitic and misogynistic’ posts EXCLUSIVE: Adam Mitula, Reform UK’s interim campaign manager in Tameside, has been assisting Matt Goodwin's Gorton and Denton by-election campaign

So it turns out Matt Goodwin's Reform campaign manager was a holocaust-denying Nazi who said he would "never touch a Jewish woman.”

When do we start seeing all the coverage of the antisemitism crisis in Reform UK?

UK Holds Off Approval for US to Use Its Bases in Any Iran Strike US President Donald Trump’s latest retraction of support for Britain’s deal to hand the Chagos Islands to Mauritius comes as the UK government holds off giving permission for him to use the Diego Garc...

No wonder Trump is once again taking potshots at the UK government over the Chagos Islands deal.

So the new cabinet secretary will indeed be Antonia Romeo

Here’s what we think she needs to prioritise

Matt Goodwin’s Reform UK campaign manager said he ‘would never touch a Jewish woman’ - The Jewish Chronicle Adam Mitula, who is canvassing for the party in Gorton and Denton, also tweeted that the six million who died in the Holocaust only included ‘some Jews’

This is extremely ugly
