The dismay at supermarket cafe closures was in the top 5 stories on BBC last night. Politics shld take note. People really care about these eroding community links. My bit from the weekend on it 👇
Ask Green: Where do you go when you’re lonely? - Miranda Green on.ft.com/4c4VjOW
This is such a fun read from @love_persis on the lives and loves of Britain's pigeon fanciers

I love a “power behind the throne” profile, and this is a very good one
Unelected. Unapologetic. Uncompromising. Andriy Yermak is not Ukraine’s president. But he often acts like one. He handpicks govt officials—and dismisses them. The PM and military brass frequently defer to him. My @FTMag profile of Ukraine's Green Cardinal ft.com/content/4d6114…
Brilliant piece on the mag cover this week by the FT's @ChristopherJM on the growing influence of Zelenskyy's right-hand man, Andriy Yermak... on.ft.com/45qAPO3
Very delighted to have this profile of the dauntless Wasfi Kani, the woman who sold country house opera to the English establishment by @John__Phipps in this week's magazine. Have a read! on.ft.com/4eMUOdH
We are delighted to announce that @jennykleeman has won the 2025 Orwell Prize for Journalism - congratulations, Jenny! 🎉 "Orwell wanted good prose to have purpose and reject humbug, and Kleeman’s writing fits that mould." - Matt Walsh, Chair of Judges
The brilliant @MsHannahMurphy has the truth about Zuckerberg's macho makover. I love this piece. on.ft.com/3TB0kq0

For our @ftweekend pasta special I’ve also investigated how fancy pasta can and should get. I made @Mpwgroup’s tagliatelle of oysters and caviar, ate spendy macaroni at @pavyllon_london and lovely orecchiette made by @JacobKenedy . on.ft.com/43p0eqc
I wrote for the Guardian’s Saturday magazine about my son Max, who changed how I see the world. Took ages. More jokes after the first bit. Thanks @meropemills for being the most patient and generous editor. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
💥 Murder in Mumbai 💥 My first @FTMag story on a shocking assassination, a jailed gang boss and the Bollywood icon entangled in a decades-long grudge rooted in wildlife crime. 👉 on.ft.com/4mj7j43 Huge thanks to @CordeliaJ for the stellar edit.
“'When the history of the 20th century is written, circa 2100,' Thiel claims, Girard 'will be seen as truly one of the great intellectuals.'” Delighted to have this great essay in the magazine this weekend by Orlando Reade on.ft.com/3Fd67yu

I love this package more than I can say.

To kick off my new restaurant column for the FT I decided to go back to where my love for eating out began: Rules, a place I have written about before but never reviewed. This one is free to read. A reminder of how to keep reading me coming up. ft.com/content/21b05f…
