Cracking piece from the @midweekherald. A pleasure to have played a small part in helping this solar farm happen a stone's throw from where I grew up.

[Midweek Herald @midweekherald]

A new solar farm capable of powering almost 15,000 homes is set to be built in East Devon. https://t.co/p18DBR4wtr

Being endorsed by Rees-Mogg, Dorries and the Mail simultaneously is the political equivalent of the sorting hat putting you in Slytherin.

What fun! Negroni Talks on tour. Discussing the politics of architecture with @DesignWest1 and many others.

[Freddie Palmer @FWPalmer]

This was fun. Thanks @votedannorris.

This really is a must see. Great work @revelpucks. Well done Places for People for making the space.

[Martin Booth @beardedjourno]

Get down to @revelpucks circus shows in St Paul’s if you can. So much fun, skill and exuberance in the big top off Dove Lane. A great use of otherwise empty land.

[Freddie Palmer @FWPalmer]

@beardedjourno @revelpucks I spotted you from across the other side of the tent. @revelpucks was so much fun - I’ve not stopped smiling since.

The latest housing affordability statistics are out and it is impossible to overstate what a horrifying, generationally traumatising shitshow they are. Here is the situation in 1997 vs 2021 https://t.co/QgYWaBlmUw

Why are UK cities less productive than their EU counterparts? Weak transport links + low-density housing mean fewer people can reach the city centre via public transport. @pmdfoster looks at the example of Leeds and Marseille, maps and graphics by me:

Thread on the EU nuclear debate:
1.Germany finds itself unusually isolated in the EU after the bloc aligned with scientific consensus & wants to declare nuclear helpful to combating climate change - just as Germany shutters its last nuclear powerplants & energy prices explode

The government’s war against Britain’s only termite colony will enter its 25th (and possibly final) year in 2022, after last week’s renewal of a contract to monitor and eradicate the infestation located in two bungalows near Barnstaple. A thread on the Devon termite saga (1/11).

A joy to work with you Jack. And yes without Jack’s beady eye there would have been no donkeys in our film

[Nick Bowes @nickbowes1975]

Amazing bit of Whitehall kite flying badly disguised as a leak. You only need to read the Treasury quote to know which department did and didn’t leak this https://t.co/p3oYNv7Mhx

I’ve eaten many a farmer’s market sausage sandwich. Never before have I been in charge of conjuring such treats. Today in Donyatt I am that guy with sausages and bacon reared by Dad just up the road.

This is my horse box. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My horse box is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

My horse box, without me, is useless. Without my horse box, I am useless.

I read Ayes and Ears by Sir David Amess a couple of months ago.

This passage made me laugh at the time for his description of kissing Theresa May, but it feels quite poignant now:
