Developers on Newmarket Road setting up 21st century building while ruts in the road looks like something from 19th century. Future residents are prioritised, current residents neglected. It's a two-tier society in the rush to develop Cambridge. Why aren't developers asked to improve roads they use?

Just back from Trumpington Meadows. The estate's dispiriting tone is set by the architecture - no redeeming features, no joy, nothing remotely artistic, boring, these buildings are built to a price. I'd support developers more if they could raise their game not just their prices.

Cambridge's build-out - eg this site by Science Park - needs steel. This crisis was inevitable: Thatcher turned the UK into a huge offshore tax haven and freeloading shareholders took Russian money, then Chinese money, now we're facing the music. The UK is getting a brutal, belated, history lesson.

The staging is important. When Macron and Starmer called, the press conference had just the two of them. With Zelensky, the room is full, with Trump's goons lined up in support of their capo. Make no mistake, this was the digital-age equivalent of a show trial, a witch hunt - a lynch mob.

Bibi Netanyahu shows off his map of Israel with no West Bank. Also, centre, a map showing England's territory in blue, and right, a map of the United States' territory in yellow.
