@London_W4 The Fox!

Outside the pub right now, waiting for my grocery delivery to be delivered and the camera car is here. He drives up and down the road, instantly and automatically fining anyone without a permit. I think it’s wrong. So I’m stood in the road being pathetic and childish and delaying him from ruining peoples evening. This country is just plummeting to the bottom and I think we’ve all had enough. Never thought I’d reach this level.

One of Reeves’s big new growth adventures (announced Weds) will be to connect Oxford and Cambridge with better transport and more housing and commercial development, to create a mega knowledge and tech cluster. This has been low hanging fruit to improve productivity and expand GDP for years, though prevented largely by nimbyism. @kishan_koria and I proposed it in our recent book “How to run Britain” (called “Bust” in hardback) and I have discussed it at length with @StephLunch on @therestismoney (including today’s episode). One of its great proponents is John Kingman, chair of L&G and former second permanent secretary at the Treasury. However it is not exactly levelling up, given how relatively wealthy this part of the UK is already. This is what Kish and I wrote about it: “The success of the City of London is in part because so many top-quality businesses are packed closely together – and have been for hundreds of. years – so that those who work in them can and do learn from each other, almost without noticing. These are the rewards of being part of an industrial ‘cluster’. There are similar networking benefits in London-based advertising and media, technology around Cambridge, life sciences in London, Cambridge and Oxford, and so on. This causes a dilemma for any government. On the one hand, there would obviously be a massive productivity gain for the UK as a whole if the removal of planning restraints, for commercial and residential property, were to allow the creation of a substantial tech and life sciences corridor linking Oxford and Cambridge. But quite apart from ‘nimby’ objections from residents, a concern is that this would simply reinforce inequalities with the Midlands and North.”

He was a virtuoso and possessor of the most beautiful shapes and form I've seen in sport. And the show, the sorcery! How do you show gratitude to someone who delivered so much wonder and happiness? We were just so lucky. Love to his family & friends. RIP King, you were my hero 💔

@shannboogie fair!

TL need your help - if you are going to a carnival (not CARNIVAL, think ferris wheel, mirror house, rides, etc) do you call it a carnival or a fair?
