Hard to believe.

Gratitude 💗

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Have read a few pieces saying Starmer may not survive as PM & don't think people are appreciating the consequences. I can't stress enough I just don't think the public will tolerate 'one more switch of PM' instead will conclude the system is not just broken but unfixable

The PM's speech was sensible and well delivered, but I felt a mounting sense of frustration that the government was still talking about what it would do rather than what it had done.

Joseph Rykwert obituary: Acclaimed architectural historian Provocative thinker who was censured then celebrated by the profession for his erudite books that reframed the origins of the city

Joseph Rykwert influenced our work on cities, Bristol Legible City and our Festival of the Future City. His books deserve to be read widely, especially by city planners.

Saddened to hear of the passing of John Tinniswood, the world’s oldest man, at 112 years old.

A proud Scouser who witnessed over a century of change, his remarkable life leaves a legacy of inspiration for generations to come.

Rest in peace, John. ❤️

Interesting. I thought it would be closer. Presumably FG and FF will come together against SF.

I loved it too

Such a shame. She had the potential of being a transformational transport secretary which would have helped labour win a second term.

So agree

So agree. Gutted. Louise was so good. Such a shame they didn’t support her. Is there more to it? Who knows. Who will they appoint? No one as good that’s for sure. I also did love her style particularly her pink stilettos!

How do we create economic growth? A brilliant read to some of the levers government can pull.

Looking at the cultural economy and seeing the power of arts in an economic way - driving trading, tourists and travel to Britains cities
