My book on chance is out!
It's a broad look at how we think about chance and uncertainty in the world and in our lives.
Based on stories, knowledge (and of course, some numbers & theory) it also has puzzles, parables & thoughts on the language of chance.

Very chuffed to have won the Landscape Prize for my tiny shipping container painting @discerningeye @mallgalleries in London. It’s on display amongst an array of brilliant art works until November 24th, should you be interested.

£600 a year across 6 sites is a “peppercorn rent”: a small amount legally required to create a lease and therefore give rights to tenants. It is usually asked for by the tenant not the landlord, as tenants’ rights are worth far more than £100. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppercor…

The miraculous Great East Window of Gloucester Cathedral, installed in 1350 and surviving with almost all of its original stained glass intact after more than 650 years. The window is the size of a modern tennis court, and at the time of its creation was the largest in the world.

The medieval Chapter House with its soaring wooden vault, was built over 700 years ago as an assembly room for the Chapter to run day-to-day business. Those entrusted to care for the cathedral would meet within its 44 stalls to administer its affairs.

I really don't expect so much support. But, please if there's anyone outside the biased media, who thinks Keir Starmer is a kind of pretty good Prime Minister, please repost

Much of Peter Brook’s work concerns the scale of the Pennine landscape, particularly apparent in wintertime, in ‘Drawing a Good View in the Dales’ the small cluster of buildings huddled together by the stand of trees seeming overwhelmed by the vast expanse of snow-covered fells.

So the richest man in the world spent $130 million to elect Donald Trump.
Now he's being put in charge of a "government efficiency" agency while controlling corporations with billions in government contracts that are also under federal investigations.
See how this works?

Marco Rubio: “I will make this promise to you today. I will do whatever it takes...Trump, a con artist, will never get control of this party...We cannot allow a con artist to get access to the nuclear codes of the United States of America.”

From @theintercept 'Founding charter of Netanyahu’s Likud Party asserts the Jewish people have an “eternal and indisputable right” to all the land “between the Sea and the Jordan.”
So why is the Palestinian chant 'from the river to the sea' antisemitic?

russia has been bombing Ukraine every single night. Every single night the russians choose to take lives of people peacefully sleeping in their homes.
This is terrorism.

During #WW2, silk escape maps were lightweight enough to be tucked away by those in the forces in case they were shot down and needed navigation. They were often turned into garments when the war was over, this c 1945 robe a rare surviving example @rijksmuseum

Lord Ashcroft posting negative comments about anything Labour does is a verification if needed that our government is on the right track
