A long shot - but if you left a smart phone in Cleaver Square SE11 today, I’ve got it. Or maybe I’ll hand it in to princeofwaleskennington (unlikely but I guess someone might search for those places here)

Imagine a general election campaign where a political party can interview itself on TV every day. It’s coming soon courtesy of Ofcom. My blog at profpurvis.com

The best Tempest I’ve seen (yet) was in Lady Margaret Hall gardens, probably 1991. This weirdly niche but compelling thread reminds me of it.

The Tim Collins interview was unpolished. But to me its nowhere near as surprising as this response to it, from his own party leader.

There’s very mixed evidence on the extent to which Rwanda might deter illegals migrants. These ones, talking to ⁦Becky Johnson⁩ , seem very much in fear of deportation news.sky.com/story/asylum-s…

Quite an interesting interview by @robharris Starmer is a genuine football fan - as to be fair is the current PM - and position on sport brings in a lot of other policy areas which will increasingly be under scrutiny news.sky.com/story/sir-keir…

When students at a private, Ivy League, highly exclusive university (96% of applicants rejected) where a bachelors degree costs $350K, deem it 'The People's University', you understand why so any of them go to work at The People's Hedge Fund and The People's Consulting Firm.

If Mark Rowley were to resign, would that make things better for policing London and London's police? I can well understand & sympathise with the fury of the Jewish community as I've posted before. But would one man's head on a platter make the city safer for people?

*No*

Forced deportations to Rwanda may or may not be part of a solution; but it can’t be denied there is a real set of issues with what on earth to do with failed asylum applicants, as ⁦Becky Johnson⁩ explains to ⁦Niall Paterson⁩ podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/sky…

The health demands of womens sport are becoming more widely known. Now it’s thought women can be more at risk of concussion. This fascinating story by ⁦Rob Harris⁩ will no doubt add fuel to the argument that people born male shouldn’t play them. youtu.be/ZAIO2MeQTQg?si…

If Ann Widdecombe speaks at this event, it may be the first time a Catholic has addressed a meeting in an Orange Hall.

Do any history buffs out there know of another example of that?

Why real journalism matters part 93 - AI can generate endless news reports to give legitimacy to concealed partisan interests. Apparently it’s called “pink slime”, according to - ironically - Financial Times
