@ignactro I spoke too soon about #london #weather ☔️ Thank goodness I'm flying south later!

Another 🌞😎 day in London, but tomorrow I’m going to the real Puerta del Sol in Madrid (for the #ietf meeting next week). And even have some flamenco booked with @ignactro.bsky.social 💃 ¡Vamanos!

Always slightly eery talking to a quiet room when most of your audience is online, simultaneously or later! (Screenshot via @chrismarsden.bsky.social 🙏)

Tremendous view from the #CMA 9th floor towards the City of London, which unlike #ofcom's Thames-side panorama they do not obscure with blinds :)

I could get used to this louche barrister lifestyle 😉

I knew I wouldn't be the only one not wearing a suit for a business lunch at Inner Temple and #4kbw re: #dma

If the muppets running the two main political parties aren’t ejected soon, the 🇬🇧 really will see #reform and the #greens fighting it out over the next general election. And forever, as both support proportional voting reform!

Despite the presence of Joseph Gordon-Levitt 😉 the security theatre at #igf2025 was beyond disproportionate. It would put me off going again. (And did the final morning.)

@1br0wn @1br0wn Thank you Adidas Outlet store, very obviously catering to people just like me here for conferences without Norwegian “summer” clothes 🤣

@1br0wn TBF I just came (by train and plane) from sailing in #sicily. I managed to stay in my vest and linen shorts until I got on the plane in Milan 😂

Good morning Lillestrøm! #igf

After literally shaking in the cold as I walked from the train station last night, I need to buy either a thick hoody, or a full-blown Arctic jacket on the way to the conference centre this morning 😂

Will next week's Internet Governance Forum in Oslo be the final #igf? Some at the #un hope so…

It would be quite a mistake to hand more power to the Member States at the expense of all the multistakeholders who have contributed so much over the years to the […]

The LSE’s new Marshall Building is the star at this evening’s great #lsefestival event on startup tech funding. Three really interesting speakers. Video and podcast to come!

Also fascinating to hear what the Brazilian government is doing on regulation of systemically-important digital #ecosystems

Tremendous presentation by Dr Cecilia Rikap on innovation and competition in the digital economy, with a whole lot more nuance than the standard economic or business school account! 👏
