Shepherd Market: Mayfair’s Beautiful Secret
Tucked behind the polished theatre of Piccadilly and a short, knowing stroll from Green Park, Shepherd Market sits like a secret that never quite decided whether to stay hidden. It is not grand in the way Mayfair prefers. It does not gleam. It murmurs.…
I was on this too, talking about coastal forecasting, also @hancloke.bsky.social on river engineering & Nicoletta Leonardi on coastal inundation modelling 👇
Nice interview, just a bit of a shame the format didn't allow us to interact with each other, just separate interviews.

If you want to know how bent racist cops thwarted the murder investigation on the demands of London gangsters, read Stench by G.M. Barden
This day in 1993 Stephen Lawrence was murdered in a racially-motivated attack while waiting for a bus in South London.
Hegseth's repeal of universal flu vaccines is nonsense on so many levels, but his claim vaccine mandates were an "era of betrayal" irked me as a historian. Here's my response, in @thebulwark.com this morning;

That's one lovely, wildlife-depleted pond!
#teammoth Blastobasis lacticolella in the house last night, from logs or wallet - who knows!

Ethnic cleansing used to be Israel's surreptitious policy. Today, it is Israel's in-our-face pride and joy. Time to ban Israel from every international organisation, like we banned Apartheid South Africa. Enough is enough! www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
With Orban gone the EU has now approved the 90 billion Euro loan to Ukraine and another package of sanctions on Russia. V good news.

Mad fact... 42% of Labour Prime Ministers have had to fire Peter Mandelson.
Excellent work from @lgbtiscotland.bsky.social here who have extracted every LGBT+ related comment and commitment from all of the major Scottish party manifestos. They pass no comment on any of it here, leaving readers to reach their own conclusions. Much of it truly is damnable.

Nothing makes the eyes water more than a self-inflicted Wogan!

Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman
