“Even if 10,000 millionaires had left, thats 0.3% of millionaires in the UK - a tiny fraction. What we at Patriotic Millionaires are more concerned about is the 30% of doctors who say they’re thinking about relocating out of the UK in the next year.”

I was asked to create a bespoke mobile using the offcuts of Westminster's new cycle infrastructure. Here's what I came up with.

Some positive news for once — the world's population is bigger than previously thought. Good debunking of Asimov's consumerist-centric bathroom metaphor here too. Sharing is the essence of the good life, not its antithesis. By Jonathan Kennedy. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

One of the things I'll be sad about when twitter finally dies is no longer seeing Celia's excellent posting. As head of comms for the National Trust she never misses a chance to lampoon negative press. Other charities could learn something from her badass approach. x.com/CeliaRichards0…

I am appalled by the reports of Palestinians killed and injured while seeking aid in Gaza yesterday. It is unacceptable that Palestinians are risking their lives for food. I call for an immediate and independent investigation into these events and for perpetrators to be held

So, the “appropriate value” that government must pay to make Thames Water public is zero. On top of record pollution, billions have already been paid, and banks and shareholders in control have left £23bn in costs.

Madness. What will stop this genocidal rogue state? Israeli claims this is a pre-emptive strike are flimsy nonsense: it is inescapably a crime of aggression, a core crime of international law, once called "the supreme international crime".

Even this deranged attempt to to justify a blatant crime of aggression admits it is rooted in lies. Breathtaking to see the media disregard and dismantle the fundamental basis of international law with such unthinking abandon.

Even assuming they'll ever functionally exist - they won't - driverless cars are intended to push us further towards car dependence, not away from it. Adam Tranter has written up a clear case against this: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Extremely refreshing to read a piece arguing the solution to the crisis of masculinity among young men is for fathers and teachers (in particular) to be more present. Realise I very rarely see parents challenged to put down their phones.
