I wrote about my obsession with Marco Pierre White, in this week’s issue of The Spectator.

I went to the launch of Alastair Campbell’s new book... @spectator

@guyadams I’m not fussed! Can work, can not: didn’t love it at Quality Chop House last week, though food was good

[Angus Colwell @AngusColwell]

I went to Cloth Cornhill, formerly Simpson’s Tavern, and... wish I liked it more. Oh well!

@kidtsang True, which is partly why our tax regime shouldn’t be as repellent to high earners as it currently is

This year, the UK has put more capital investment into AI than the whole EU. GDP figs also show computer programming output is the main driver of growth at the moment, up 13% this year.

So, naturally, his PM wants us to Rejoin and have the EU’s AI Act jeopardise this entirely.

UK AI Minister @KanishkaNarayan tells us the the UK has attracted 50% of European venture capital in the last 12-months, a 16 year high for the nation:

"Why is it that in the last 12 months Britain has cleaned up 50% or so of European venture capital? A 16-year high...we're doing really well in terms of startups".

"At the same time, the UK has the best AI security institute, the ability to be able to test models, understand risks, and mitigate them from a cyber point".

"We've got some great guys from companies coming and working with us, and we've got some great people from government going and working with those companies."

Delighted to review Our Islands’ Story in the Telegraph, the new book by Robert Tombs and Nigel Biggar.

25 years today since Mulholland Drive was released in cinemas! I wrote about Lynch, Sontag and Stephen King at the weekend 👇

I wrote about 25 years of David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive here, and what it tells us about interpreting art, the human imagination and the creative work ethic.

[The Spectator 🇺🇸 @TheSpectator]

When David Lynch’s film Mulholland Drive was released in American cinemas 25 years ago this Monday, the critic Roger Ebert rejoiced that one of Lynch’s experiments at last ‘doesn’t shatter the test tubes’. Ebert seemed delighted that Lynch had focused on some of the more prosaic aspects of filmmaking – plot, character, dialogue – instead of privileging sound and vision: he argued that his 1997 film Lost Highway was ‘about design, not cinema’.

@BrokenBritain_7 Off to my favourite Sichuan place for lunch. Last few reviews have included a Turkish restaurant in Soho, a Cantonese restaurant in Birmingham’s Chinatown, and an Indian in Surbiton. Not that that matters: I just go where I think good food is. Do read properly.

[Angus Colwell @AngusColwell]

@TychyWordpress Yep I’m still not sure about it. Tried to caveat that in the piece by saying ‘hyperbolic’… and the reason for not doing so is I don’t want to throw up! But perhaps I’ll just brave it…

This week, I reviewed ‘cloudstreet’, which stretches the definition of ‘restaurant’, but was excellent.

@Funwithflares I lived in Finsbury Park for two years and would happily review Eden’s

Arsenal don’t represent Britain. Man City do.

I wrote about the fantasy of Arsenal’s Britain here 👇

@RohanR15 @davskicross Right

[Angus Colwell @AngusColwell]

@sakasauceAPL @EastonBall I think Arsenal’s cultural reach is quite remarkable and impressive, though: the ‘famous fans’ category is incomparable to any other club. So too their hold on the elite: others like Janan Ganesh (Arsenal fan!) have pointed this out

[Angus Colwell @AngusColwell]

@EastonBall Hey Ed, good to hear from you. Hope you’re keeping well! I’ve seen it quite a lot: today, no less. Perhaps could have had some more examples in there. And re Saka / Wright, I’m saying that they are not exactly typical, though perhaps that in itself is a representation of Britain.

[Angus Colwell @AngusColwell]

@davskicross I’m just representing modern Britain
