This was truly fascinating, and @phillipspobrien.bsky.social made me rethink many things. If the US and China went to war, who’d win? (spoiler alert: if the war went long it wouldn’t be the US). And what role do the UK’s aircraft carriers play in our strategic defence?

Starmer went hard against Farage in his conference speech. But has he done enough to show he’s in control, or is the Labour messaging still all over the place?

A joy to chat about the scourge of regeneration with @annaminton.bsky.social for an @ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social deep dive.

From Baltimore to Liverpool docks, “market renewal pathfinders” (who remembers them?) to city sterilisation - we’ve got it all.
