"Andy Burnham brands Thames Water finance boss's £1m 'golden hello' signing-on bonus as 'unacceptable'."

It's not only unacceptable it's corrupt.

The memorial will remember the 72 victims and those whose lives were changed by the devastating Grenfell Tower fire: https://t.co/8ySF0B0N56

@ArchHistDarling Congratulations! The perfect appointment!

[Dr David Lund @davidjohnlund]

For all my North American contacts, can you help scope a potential research project looking at the postwar history of architectural modelmaking in the US and Canada? Do you know of any retired modelmakers from this period, or the names of any workshops? If so do get in touch.

[Dr David Lund @davidjohnlund]

In preparation for the D-Day landings, the RAF's top secret V-Section modelmaking unit made 500 landscape models to help plan the operation. Their 'model war' helped save countless lives. A remarkable, largely overlooked contribution remembered today.

[Federica Goffi @federicagoffi19]
