    Wow - delighted with the reception for the report I co-authored, on using open data to drive innovation and competition in energy - and hopefully make a lot of regulation redundant too!

    btw my inspiration is from the time as an undergraduate when I exploited my knowledge of game theory to realise that I *shouldn't* attend the final class. However my classmates didn't understand game theory and I ended up failing.

    Yum - one food Belgium does VERY well is chips. Just had the "cheese and bacon" fries from McDonald's and they were absolutely fantastic, with a gooey sauce. Well done!

    My hotel in Brussels, btw, has a Chromecast so you can stream stuff to the big room TV. Huge step forward and something I've been calling for for years. Bravo to the Courtyard by Marriott EU!

    I like Brussels but transport here is a mess. Could learn a lot from cities like London and NYC where it's easy to get central from the airport (train station). Sort it out!

    We cover game theory in tomorrow’s class. I’ve said that if less than 8 students show up (class size =22) then it’ll be cancelled, with no reprisals, and the content won’t feature on the final exam.

    Great piece on the Conservatives' foolish national security mergers reforms, which would hugely empower Corbyn if he gets in.

    I made a mistake by saying People of Colour here. I have been educated to make sure it is clear I specifically say Black people, as to broaden it to POC dilutes their cause and struggle. I’m very sorry for that error! Will be more careful in future❤️
