    Right on the nail.

    Depressingly predictable watching the left completely miss Blair's point on culture wars. He wasn't saying ignore injustice he was saying how you *frame* the injustice matters. And if you do it the wrong way you'll never get the power to change it.

    Good point. Unlocking new pools of capital for venture investment would help transform the U.K. economy

    David Swensen, the Yale pioneer who reshaped investing via >>his passing brings wider attention to the ‘powerful blueprint for long-term institutional portfolio management’ he pioneered. It amazes me that few UK institutions have followed his thesis.

    Bold & optimistic piece on the climate transition: “ending the carbon habit might affect our lives no more than giving up CFCs did in the 1980s”. Investment in innovation to deliver cheaper & better alternatives to the way we live has a huge role to play.

    Jabbed & relieved. I hate needles, so thanks to the ⁦NHS nurse who took it on herself to distract me as I got the Oxford Astra Zeneca vaccine. To be truly safe from covid, we all need to get vaccinated, so when you get the text from the NHS, don’t hesitate.

    Very sad to hear of the passing of Peter Ainsworth, my predecessor as MP for East Surrey. Peter was charming, witty, thoughtful and principled. A committed environmentalist, passionate about the Arts and was in politics for the right reasons. Thinking of his adorable family.
