An interesting attempt to distinguish between @realDonaldTrump's words and intended outcomes, by our former prime minister
When are we Europeans going to stop being scandalised about Donald Trump and start helping him to end this war? Of course Ukraine didn’t start the war. You might as well say that America attacked Japan at Pearl Harbor. Of course a country undergoing a violent invasion should…

Sad news about Chiltern Firehouse… and those hoping to party within it during a couple of busy weeks in London. Hoping everyone inside is ok 🙏
Around 100 people had to be evacuated after a fire broke out at the luxury Chiltern Firehouse in London, with 20 fire engines called to the blaze. The hotel was due to host Netflix's BAFTA Awards after-party but will likely require extensive repairs. trib.al/CQyPZjF
Which region of the country was the farmer from @iainoverton if u don’t mind me asking? Having interviewed lots of them at Monday’s rally, they told me they’re not just getting better organised at protesting, but also at scoping out ways of getting round #IHT. Giving your farm…
Doing some work in a pub and there's a farmer couple next to me, up in London having attended the inheritance protest. He's been on the phone persuading someone not to include VAT if he pays in cash. He also just took out about £2000 in cash to pay for his beer.
Forcibly adopted children 'desperately need apology' bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… Fascinating to meet this brave group of adoptees, and those mothers forced into giving up their children in England from 1949-1976. My latest for @BBCNews #forcedadoption
I've tested hundreds of supplements over 30 years to heal myself. Most are worthless, but these 15 transformed my health. At 50, my bloodwork is better than when I was 20. The evidence-based supplement list that actually works: 🧵
Fabulous to be part of the opening panel of the House of Block Ltd's annual event at @HamPoloClub in #London, marvellously organised by Korby Hayre, with Lex Sokolin from Generative Ventures and splendidly moderated by @ThomasMason from the @BBC. Details: linkedin.com/posts/prof-bru…
Excited to speak at opening panel on "The @realDonaldTrump Effect: a Macro Perspective on #Trade #Tariffs, #Bitcoin Reserve & #Geopolitics" of the upcoming event by The House of Block, with Lex Sokolin from Generative, moderated by @ThomasMason from @BBC: lu.ma/524vtb5i
Excited to release my 1st @bbcworldservice doc into the wild! I look into #longevity, the @bryan_johnson effect, and why Silicon Valley billionaires are betting big on living well beyond 💯 My fascinating interviewees: crypto entrepreneur @AndrewMasanto, founder of personalised…

I bet my mortgage Bryan Johnson will live to at least 200. Not because he spends $2,000,000/year biohacking his body. But because he developed the most evidence-based longevity blueprint anyone can follow for free:🧵
So just to be clear, and as I just said on ITV News at Ten, this Tweet by Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a summary of the formal ceasefire proposal drafted by him in partnership with Starmer and Macron and Rutte. It has been submitted to President Trump. The question on which so much…
I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace. None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under…
Who’s right? @Apple, @DavidDavisMP and/or the British government. And while it’s always hard to legislate for any new tech innovation that might come along, are governments really being unreasonable to insist there should be certain back doors into some of the most illegal comms?
In an attempt to meet the demands of the Home Office - demands made on false illusions of providing security - Apple has been forced to entirely undermine the online security of pretty much every UK citizen who uses an Apple product. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Council spends £1.5m on single person's 'complex needs' amid social care crisis. Interesting read from @YahooNewsUK on the financial pressures pushing some local councils to the brink #send uk.news.yahoo.com/local-council-…
I keep getting people ask me "why has no one publicised that they've sneakily reduced the higher 40% income tax rate to £37701!?" They haven't. In general you don't pay tax at 40% until your earnings are over £50,271 (and then only on the amount above that). People are getting…
Yes, really! John Prescott’s coffin & his family arrive at his funeral at Hull Minster in … two Jags!
