The recent #StockAitkenWaterman documentary on Five is excellent. It's scary to think how much time has passed but there is also something so comforting to see and hear those acts from my childhood and to know that they are all doing so well, and that SAW had the last laugh after all. (What is it they say about the thin line between love and hate? Any youngsters reading this: see what happens to your tastes down the line...) 😉

Quietly fascinated by the people who've respond to our article on the special pleading fallacy by trying to point out the many ways that cars are different

Two sides of the #Tories:

Chief Secretary to the Treasury Simon Clarke tells #nurses who are using #foodbanks, that they need to 'budget better and take responsibility'...

Meanwhile, have squirrelled away earnings from YouGov in an offshore account (briefly ex-chancellor) #NadhimZahawi has been forced to pay #HMRC #3m to settle a dispute over #taxes somehow he missed paying...

I think I know who want to take 'responsibility' for their actions & its not budget-strapped nurses!

The incredible shrinking man: Rishi Sunak’s gut reaction is always wrong

I’ve recently begun a new role as a consultant advisor to Reykjavik, Iceland! Stay tuned for some interesting and exciting announcements about what we’re working on. One of the best parts about what I get to do is the amazing diversity of client cities I get to work with. Very excited about upcoming trips in 2023 to get to know the city & do our work. #Reykjavik #Iceland

The plans include a new cycle path, improved bus stop & pedestrian crossing, widened footways, a new e-bike dock & the infilling of the subway.

I’ve repeatedly made the case for #EastDevon in Parliament & I’m looking forward to seeing spades in the ground as quickly as possible.
