Love this street name in Montréal…made even nicer by the fact it crosses a street named after JFK.

Same weekend every year….the frogs are back in town!

Really enjoyed this exhibition at the Wolverhampton Art Gallery yesterday. Well worth a visit. One of De Morgan’s first exhibitions was in the city.

Overwhelmed by a bout of crackberry nostalgia!

Playing some great nostalgic music while cooking. Amazingly Tom Paxton agreed to be interviewed by me for my school mag in 1972!

First mince pies of 2024!

Interesting that, according to the Telegraph, Angela Rayner has not ruled out lifting universal council tax capping. There was a pledge to do so in the 1997 manifesto but it never happened.

I wish the New Statesman had interviewed Rachel Reeves after the budget (when she could be quizzed about it) rather than before it (when she can legitimately dodge questions about it).

Hidden gem at the University of Birmingham #UKAPA24

Looking forward to #ukapa24 this week. Presenting early findings from my PhD research on politicians and central-local relations at the doctoral conference tomorrow and the main conference on Thursday. Focussing on the reasons for slow/fragmented progress on financial and structural reform

Ted blissfully unaware that today is apparently #internationaldogday
