More than 1000 views in 5 days for the chat and audience Q&A with Ros Atkins on news. Is it possible to be impartial? Has social media destroyed journalism? (Oh, and why are all Ros’s shirts blue?) youtube.com/live/wMX8uKc-_…
A refreshing performance by David Miliband in Cambridge tonight. Whatever your views on politics, it’s so much healthier to look to the long term and not be driven by daily headlines. Question is whether Westminster and the media have any interest in a space for deeper thinking.

Mightily impressed by the Sri Lankan fusion food at Coconut, the new restaurant from my former Selwyn College colleague Komala (centre). Well worth a visit - or a takeaway - if you’re in Cambridge. coconutcambridge.co.uk

A pleasure tonight to help launch the Cambridge University vice-chancellor’s dialogues: a major commitment to free speech and academic freedom.
This is such a lovely montage. And Steve Rosenberg’s live piano accompaniment did it justice.
