St Pancras station this evening. The Bayeux Tapestry is coming! Through the tunnel (but not on Eurostar). Making the journey on dry land, unlike when it went from Canterbury to Bayeux in the 1070s.

I think that if you’re going to write a piece in the Times urging the government to use and boost more AI, the fact that you are paid by a major AI company should be in the first sentence, or at least first paragraph. I also think that the best scenario for AI is that it destroys millions of jobs with the prosperity, dignity and community that goes with them. The worst scenario is the destruction of the human race - a fear openly expressed by an increasing number of senior and experienced AI engineers who are leaving the industry. And somewhere in between a myriad of horrors such as yet more screen learning and screen addiction for our children. But I do see that it will make rich men even richer. And that’s the most important thing of course.

For years people thought I was barmy saying that when I was a kid in Monkseaton, Frenchmen would come door to door on bicycles selling onions with strings of them round their necks. Here they are!

The protests in Iran cannot be separated from the long-standing, state-imposed restrictions on girls’ and women’s autonomy, in all aspects of public life including education. Iranian girls, like girls everywhere, demand a life with dignity. The people of Iran have long warned about this repression, at great personal risk, and their voices have been silenced for decades. These restrictions exist within a wider system of gendered control shaped by segregation, surveillance, and punishment — one that limits freedom, choice, and safety far beyond the classroom. They demand their voices be heard and the right to determine their political future. That future must be driven by the Iranian people, and include the leadership of Iranian women and girls — not external forces or oppressive regimes. I stand with the people and girls of Iran in their call for freedom and dignity. They deserve to determine their own future.

Juliet Stevenson: "There are 4 fully equipped mobile maternity clinics waiting to cross the border.. they're not allowed across... the Israeli govt has blocked [them].. we have to stop selling arms to Israel, we have to stop supporting that regime" Well said.

So effortless!
Start your day with some Shakespeare. This is Laurence Olivier reciting Sonnet 116 on The Dick Cavett show in 1973. Absolutely beautiful.
