The head of the Metropolitan Police said that Sadiq Khan's decision to block Palantir's deal with Scotland Yard will lead to cuts to frontline services

Sir Mark Rowley tells @TimesRadio: 'We've got to shrink by 1,150 people. That will be 4,400 people smaller than Met will be than when I started as Commissioner three and a half years ago. That's really tough.

'One of the ways we're trying to deal with it is by automating some of our bureaucracy so we can save that money without damaging the frontline. Now we don't have that technology, we're going to be making hundreds of cuts to frontline services, which is not what I wanted to do this year.

'We had a plan to avoid cutting frontline services by using clever technology. Now we won't have that technology at the speed that we were planning. We will be cutting some frontline services'

This enthralling memoir-cum-travelogue from @stone_lands is a rich history of prehistoric standing stones. It is a journey across the British isles, and it is an exploration of grief, and it is a very, very good read.

Stephen Sale was a good friend and colleague. Desperately sad that he is gone so young.

Remembering Stephen Sale this week, a marvellous Kittlerian, who got Friedrich Kittler over to speak in London in what was, hands down, the craziest lecture I’ve ever attended. It is just about the worst thing in academia for your student to die so young, so early. RIP, Stephen

Book spines arranged to look like a map of the UK. The book titles also have the names of nearby cities.

I asked my boyfriend to edit the introduction of my thesis and he actually had the audacity to edit it and not just tell me it was excellent.

Bored so thought I’d rename my WiFi to mess with my neighbours

A great piece here from @TomChivers on how the Prisoners' dilemma and the tragedy of the commons relate to our current situation: https://t.co/qmfzFmhcFc When push comes to shove, do we cooperate or do we defect? The lockdown is forcing us to cooperate, and that's the point.

I've heard that coronavirus is going to cause a massive shortage of books, which will be essential when we're all stuck at home, so it's very important for everyone to rush out and start panic-buying novels. Thank you.

[UK House of Commons @HouseofCommons]

100 years ago today, Constance Markievicz became the first woman to be elected to the House of Commons - although she did not take her seat.

We've mapped which constituencies have been represented by women since then.

@LorrieHartshorn Because after the misery of the first 5 minutes, you'll feel like a badass. Obviously 😉
