“We should be able to disagree, for crying out loud!” - and not have to sign up to “a monolithic culture”. Here’s a flavour of Mary Beard speaking to me at Selwyn College Cambridge last night. Watch the full video here:

We’re thrilled to see 7 heifers now grazing in Petersham Meadows. After no grazing in 2023, and a very small amount last year, this is a welcome move back to tradition.

I really enjoyed accompanying @selwyn1882.bsky.social students Oketa and Cian to London today and lunch at the Tallow Chandlers’ Hall. They’re winners of this year’s Tallow Chandlers awards, and joined other amazing young people from schools and colleges at the celebration.

Very proud of the @selwyn1882.bsky.social students who received their MAs today. This was the generation whose studies were disrupted by the pandemic, and they’re fine young people who deserve this moment of celebration.

I really enjoyed Channel 4’s Brian and Maggie. Some of the political history is a bit wobbly. But it’s fair, and its heart is in the right place about interviewing and journalism in the public interest. Coogan and Walter are terrific, too.

Offers from @selwyn1882.bsky.social have gone out today for undergraduate admissions this autumn. 85.5% of our home offers are to state school students, with the biggest group at comprehensives. In 2024 this kind of mix helped us be the highest-rated Cambridge college for good honours.

Well, that’s going to be an enormous audience for BBC1 on Friday night. Traitors is a fabulous format, and so skilfully produced. Yet another argument for appointment-to-view television. #TheTraitorsUK
