I once drew up a list of 13 of my favourite (men’s elite) classics and called them the Holy Thirteen. There are now, erm, 17, but I still think of them as the 17 races of the Holy Thirteen. (Still thinking about the women’s list).
Here they are, with handy emojis (h/t @statsoncycling.bsky.social)

Despite detesting the finance bros who rock up to a London whisky bar and immediately drain its stock of Pappy, I did find a job in a team of people who are humble, kind, funny, respectful, clever and supportive. Also some of the smartest and most careful investors I’ve met. Good culture does exist.
two tech men having an incredibly annoying meeting next to me in the café and one of them just said "the thing I love about SEO is.....the culture", gobsmacking, beautiful piece of dialogue, would have struggled with it in a sitcom yet he just said it, in real life

Amazing that being an Oxford graduate, a banker and an LBS academic insures you against being wrong.
Truly shocking that Rachel Reeves had the audacity to call herself the U14 girls chess champions when she won the U14 girls chess championship but some bloke thought she was talking about something else.

Chicken rice 🇨🇳 🇸🇬 🇲🇾 from Hainan House, Upper Street N1. This is more a Chinese version rather than the South East Asian ones I’m used to - spiced slightly differently and less peppery, and cooked rare. Quite decent with the sauce though. #redharesrestaurants

Two Irish oysters 🇮🇪 and octopus salad 🇬🇧 served in a scallop shell, from Shellseekers, Borough Market SE1. Lots of oyster bars in Borough Market, but I like this one because the prices are reasonable and the helpings quite filling. #redharesrestaurants

The FT is one of the few sane media left.
Feel like I'm going mad. The Budget's 'headroom' is based on frankly irresponsible and wildly optimistic claims about what Labour will do in the final year of the forecast, and on ignoring a bunch of upward pressures on spending, and the claim is that she was being exaggeratedly *pessimistic*?
Suggestion Rachel Reeves exaggerated fiscal pressures is absurd
Chancellor was instead far too optimistic about public finances and government’s ability to secure cuts

Breakfast hash (veggie) 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 at KIN Cafe, Foley St W1. Asparagus, sweet potato, broccoli, halloumi and poachies. As decent a veggie breakfast as I’ve ever had, and surprisingly hearty too. Had to redo this post due to a busted hashtag. #redharesrestaurants

If this Labour government deprioritised everything else and focused on one thing, housebuilding, it would still be better for inequality and growth than the heap of half ready, half baked things they’re trying now.

Labour knows it needs to win over the ‘sea wall’ cohort of coastal voters in the next election. But as anger over inequality grows, time is running out

I’ve got a dozen things I’d want to do if I wasn’t working. And I’m not sure I want to stop working.
On top of that, I’m also capable of doing sweet FA for weeks on end, even if I almost never ever got to do so. I’m the laziest person I know.
People just don’t try hard enough.

Mid-50s. Recently inherited enough money to be mortgage-free and not work again, but not enough for Ferraris etc. I've had to make a diary with a "to-do" each day, else I just sit all day and doomscroll. Not sure if I'm happy or not overall.

There’s nothing wrong with doing posh things. If there were, there would be far fewer opportunities to do so.
If you ask me though, the most exciting thing breakfast wise in London is Ye Ye Dumpling’s new Shanghai breakfast menu. Got to check that out in the next few weeks.

Nigel Farage asked about Reform MS Laura Anne Jones (who the Senedd Commissioner found had used a racist term in a staff WhatsApp chat in August 2023 while discussing TikTok writing: “No chinky spies for me.”)
"Well, she used a word that colloquially, probably was meant in a nice way 20 years ago."

Want to calm markets further? Announce a plan to seek to rejoin the European Union.
Brexit is the reason today’s Budget squeezes families, yet the government is still shuffling towards solutions that demand real urgency. We need far bolder steps back towards the single market if we want future budgets that lift people up rather than drain them.
Baby steps won’t fix Brexit or the Budget
There is a way to get back a much bigger slice of the money Brexit has cost us. By getting the UK back into the EU single market.
