Feels like it’s time to step up the conversation about #geoengineeing - and #climatetech, particularly efforts to reflect sunlight to mitigate #climate change, at the same time as CO2 reducing. Great programme about this on the BBC with @DKeithClimate

This is what marketers think about on their Sunday runs.

As an interesting exercise today I wondered how @Keir_Starmer could regain popularity. I tried various slogans that play to his down to earth, managerial, Ronseal persona (variations on ‘Getting the job done’). Then it hit me: football. Brits love football; Kier plays football⚽️

[Harry Kretchmer @harrykretchmer]

2/2 - suggested comms strategy - ‘viral’ moment of Kier playing spectacularly quality dad football, followed up by unexpectedly dropping into random football games across the country - a la Trump McDonalds cashier takeover. I think my work is done!

Sparkling audit of #Starmer’s first stormy year by ⁦@hzeffman⁩ - recommended listening for those who appreciate this kind of thing. ⁦@BBCRadio4⁩ https://t.co/JgXWeSLt6G

@mrrobosborne Congratulations Rob!

@AshleyMcGuire_ @BBCRadio4 @danielrigby Just seen this - was really good. any more radio coming?

[Harry Kretchmer @harrykretchmer]

Thanks for #ReincarNathan on the mighty @BBCRadio4- IMO one of the most creative and best-realised series since Hitchhiker. @AshleyMcGuire_ @danielrigby Tom Crane, Henry Packer, Talkback and many more. Esp shout out to Phil Lepherd for an awesome soundtrack.

A charity fundraiser from @Shelter just came to the door. I offered to make a one-off donation. He said no thank you - direct debits only. I wonder how many charities are losing money - and perhaps goodwill - this way?

[Harry Kretchmer @harrykretchmer]

Can someone give Oxford train station a lick of paint? A few hundred quid and a couple of paint brushes would transform the place while we wait for the OX-Cam Arc. Never understood why the station of an economic powerhouse is in such a state.

[Harry Kretchmer @harrykretchmer]

I’m very poor at cryptic crosswords but I was so happy when I found this - a great British tradition! ⁦Thanks @thetimes⁩ #Oink

The toilets of the famous old Roman town of #Silchester seem a little beneath the dignity of this grand settlement. If @EnglishHeritage is unable to fund the site properly on the current donation / free model I wonder if an entry fee and a more commercial setup may help?

[Harry Kretchmer @harrykretchmer]

Amazing exploring Roman #Silchester - but deserted. Not a tourist or half term family in sight. Also neglected. Should be Reading’s #Bath with tour guides, gift shop - the lot. Your views ⁦@rdgchronicle⁩ ⁦⁦@hantsconnect⁩ ⁦⁩ ⁦⁩ ⁦@EnglishHeritage⁩ ?

[Harry Kretchmer @harrykretchmer]

@llongboan @tinig_uk Thanks to everyone who has donated - pls keep going and help us reach our target!

[Harry Kretchmer @harrykretchmer]

A great cause - donate to help tell the stories of Filipinos in the UK on JustGiving https://t.co/SsewE7Z0ix
