I take full credit for raising Tom Clancy consciousness (also pyramid awareness) in America over the last few years. It hasn’t been easy, but it’s been gratifying to see the filtration mechanism by which I can insert an idea into the world & track its progress like a barium meal
For 30 years @KalisherTrust has helped the disadvantaged to careers at the Criminal Bar. On 26 July there is a celebratory staging with drinks of John Mortimer's 'Dock Brief' starring Martin Shaw and Jason Watkins in Middle Temple Hall. Tickets here: https://t.co/0fzCby8IS0
London learnings from Copenhagen go well beyond cycling.
I loved all these little swimming spots in the harbour - had a refreshing dip this morning!
As we clean up London’s water, we should be considering these sort of options. 💦🐟🏊♂️💙

My new book The Common Good Economy is out in the UK this week. I will be on @BBCRadio4 StartTheWeek today at 9am talking with Jeremy Hunt and Patrick Foulis. Listen in!
On @TimesRadio with @hugorifkind at 10:45 BST this morning. So long as the best economics can offer is corrections to market failures, it is not a theory of the public good but a theory of what the private sector is missing. My new book, The Common Good Economy, sets out what should replace it. Links below.
‘I’ve heard joining a choir is one of the best things you can do’ - YES! Totally agree with this @DoctorChrisVT - so good for our physical, mental and social health. Would love to chat to you and @xandvt about this sometime! Thanks for your work 🙏🏼

New UK screen time rules just dropped — and they’re stricter than most parents expected.
From 27 March 2026, England says: zero solo screens for under-2s (except quick video calls with family), and max one hour a day for 2–5 year olds — no screens at meals or the hour before bed. Co-view everything, stick to slow-paced content, and ditch fast social-media clips and AI toys completely.
The science is sobering: toddlers’ brains process info up to 10 times slower than adults. Fast-paced screens push them into fight-or-flight mode — racing heart, surging energy — while they’re sitting still. Researchers at the University of East London say this mismatch can wire kids for more tantrums and emotional struggles later. Using screens to calm meltdowns? It often backfires long-term.
As a parent, it’s brutal — we all know that explosion the second you take the tablet away.
But this feels like evidence finally catching up with what our gut has been telling us.
How are you handling screens with little ones — strict limits, co-viewing, or mostly winging it?
You may have noticed a similarity between baby snacks and junky cheesy puffs. It's not accidental - these are ‘bite and dissolve’ foods. This incredible piece by @KitchenBee revelaes the truth behind these and other toddler foods but the really astounding thing is that many NHS trusts around the U.K. are actively suggesting these ultra-processed products for young children.
If you have kids or feed kids I cannot recommend this piece strongly enough.
