Just a party of sharks at the Silverstone #MotoGP yesterday. Random as hell but very amusing. Did you spot them @suziperry.bsky.social ?

Just finished reading ‘Killing Thatcher’ about the IRA’s Brighton bombing and the ensuing manhunt to find the bomber. Excellently written and a gripping account of a pivotal moment in modern British history. Recommended.

Petition: Commission a public inquiry into the impact of the UK exiting the European Union
Given that it has stated its aim of growing the UK economy, we think the Government needs to quantify the effects of exiting the European Union as soon as possible by setting up an inquiry.

I massively applaud #BritishAirways for the quality of their safety briefing videos. 10/10 for using comedy to get people’s attention. Genuinely amusing and far more engaging than the usual bored cabin steward standing in the aisle. Other airlines should learn from them.

Super open morning at #Frontline #FrontlineCars this morning. The quality of their MGB-based restomods in peerless.

This is important.
'We don’t know what that company is for but if Musk did want to pour £100m into the next UK election, as it’s been reported, this is how he could do it.'

My ‘Discover’ timeline seems to be almost entirely people posting about films they’ve watched. How can I purge this tedious nonsense?

Worth a read.
You've probaly seen various headlines this year about bird flu and the potential for a new pandemic.
So I've written a new substack as a simple explainer on what a flu pandemic actually is, why bird flu and what's been going on over the last 3 years.

How close is a new bird flu (H5N1) pandemic?
Probably not around the corner but getting uncomfortably closer.

That might just be the sound of the penny dropping for the Labour government, after Angela Rayner took a swipe at Brexit.
