Prime Minister Sunak declares that hypothetical scenarios about future war are ‘not helpful’. Yet, this government’s own Defence Review identified Russia as the most urgent defence threat (ie the one we had to deter by preparing for war). He’s not a serious person

Peter Crouch is holding his festival #CrouchFest and has brought out Wayne Lineker as a special guest.
It hasn’t gone well. There’s 12,000 people chanting “peado” at him.

85% of this coal is for export. The U.K. steel industry doesn’t need it and is better off importing from responsible countries. The carbon cost is huge. This mine is not compatible with U.K. climate goals. Gove knows all this. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…
Ponting and Hurley prints of Scott and Shackleton Antarctic expeditions are uniquely available in superb platinum-palladium format from Salto Ulbeek in Belgium. Under licence from RGS and SPRI. Email is [email protected]
An excellent piece by a fine journalist about a truly fantastic achievement - but why assume that Tenzing Norgay was in anyway subservient to Edmund Hillary on Everest?

This is very exciting Futurecity’s first action as advisors on placemaking for @WembleyParkLDN was to promote the iconic #OlympicWay as a cultural experience, a stand alone space in its own right. The steps are also seats to look back down a reimagined ‘Boulevard’ #placemaking
Today #WembleyPark and @QuintainLtd proudly unveil the new Olympic Steps, nearing completion in June. 10+years in the making, the Steps will offer a stylish new entrance to @wembleystadium and wide open space for residents and visitors to enjoy.

@AliceatBrent I think all (resi) buildings and flats need to be able to answer the same questions - could I endure/enjoy a lockdown here, could I self-isolate here, could I work from home here? Can I do the above with kids, working/non-working partners or flatmates?
“Seeing any new space, in the midst of the pandemic, we quickly imagine what it would be like to be trapped there for months.” Obvious now, of course. But designers, developers & architects will need to be nimble and quick on this. newyorker.com/culture/dept-o…
