Populists attack London because it is ‘progressive and successful’, says Sadiq Khan
Rightwing attacks on one of the world’s most visited cities at odds with reality, says mayor

The youngest texts to say Chris Rhea is dead 😞. “Wait how do you know Chris Rhea?” I ask. “There’s a bit in Gavin and Stacey where Rob Bryden says ‘I love Chris Rea’ which is when I learned who sings Driving Home for Christmas”.

Was very lucky to be asked by Netflix to host a screening of Laura Poitras’s documentary Cover Up about the storied US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh. We had editors, reporters, lawyers, some old lags (hi) some next gen. Film is on Netflix on 26th. It’s unflinching and inspiring. Recommend.
