But these cities face significant challenges and need to be empowered.

Turns out my colleague @MinorPlaces is not just a dab-hand at writing reports about London policy. He can do theatre reviewing too. Stand-out play btw.

Fine obit of philosopher Harry Frankfurt, author of Bullshit. According to @Jderbyshire meeting Wittgenstein had a big impression on him. Are there now any philosophers left of whom that is true? ft.com/content/842099d8-146c…
