Christ, the awful theatricality of people condemning @TorstenBell for not liking the triple lock. Of course he doesn't like it. It's a shit policy. But it's no more at risk than it ever was, because voters love pensioners and free money and pensioners getting free money.

@rcolvile In the spirit of fixing the foundations, if the UK adopted a graduated driver licensing system to create a better class of young and then future drivers, we would begin to address the cause of safety concerns and reduce the need for regulatory driven costs to tackle the symptoms.

Really interesting piece on what's happened to car prices thanks to well-meaning safety regulation - fits with the point I've/we've relentlessly made (not least re housing), which is that we need to think of the cumulative effect of rules that sound lovely/virtuous in isolation

@BBCSteveR @BBCSingers @BBCRadio3 Profoundly moving. Always grateful for your work whether as one of the best and bravest journalists on the planet or as a talented and instinctive musician. (And it goes without saying but sadly does need restating how uniquely talented the BBC Singers are too). 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I miss Valentina & her kiosk. I miss her positivity & warm-heartedness. Valentina has been undergoing cancer treatment. To cheer her up I turned the Valentina’s Kiosk theme into a song & the legendary @BBCSingers have recorded it for her. Here is Valentina’s Song. @BBCRadio3

@rcolvile Quite. In this instance, the politics and economics of international high speed rail are also interesting and pertinent.

Anyone working on new towns should do a deep dive into why Ebbsfleet failed. My view: it was an example of ‘Kumbaya governance’ in which various bodies with conflicting interests were told to all work together nicely, vs having a body that could just deliver, deliver, deliver.

The Ebbsfleet Garden City announced by George Osborne in 2014 looks like this 10 years later. They've built over 3,000 homes in the past 9 years. Milton Keynes built over 10,000 homes in its first 10.

5 things government could do for music ed (England): 1) Make music mandatory in all schools, all pupils 2) Overhaul music teacher training & recruit more 3) Make music a key issue in Ofsted inspections 4) Double the music hub grant 5) Manage music hubs directly from DFE

Dining table reflections: we’ve got a lively one here… Asked by my principal stakeholder ‘do you know why judges wear wigs?’….daughter no.2: ‘to intimidate the proletariat?’….

Standard family road trip listening to playlist consisting of @HH_World songs. The question on everyone’s lips about the genius performers from HH and #Ghosts is ‘what’s next?’…

To be honest it would be more newsworthy if #Cabinet #Ministers hadn’t written to the #Chancellor protesting potential cuts to their departmental budgets. You’d be a pretty rubbish advocate for your policy portfolio if you thought it needed less not more #investment. #notnews
