Anywhere else in the world, this site would have an apartment tower with a long corridor. Not in Japan. This is by Hiroyuki Ito Architects

Israel has killed over 11,500 Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7th, when 36 Israeli children were killed. It’s impossible to imagine that number. This is what it looks like. A line 5km long. (Location: Bournemouth Beach)

Two buildings very similar in scale. One shows a mature, steady hand, confidence, humility, and respect. The other is what almost every developer builds everywhere these days, and what most design codes are more likely to demand.

It's tempting to moan about how Twitter used to show my tweets to more people. But it was always broken. Now it's just broken in a way that affects me - and I AM me. So, please forgive me for self-retweeting as we sink deeper, ever deeper in the mire.

Not only are we off-track for keeping global temp rise below 1.5C. As it stands we're on track for *nearly 3C*. Memo to Sunak: the only "proportionate" climate action now is to stop all new fossil fuels, upscale renewables & insulate the nation @StopCambo reuters.com/sustainability/c…

Climate on track to warm by nearly 3C without aggressive actions, UN report finds

A vision of the dystopian future that woke leftists want to impose Spent the last week in a town where everything is accessible in 15 minutes, cars are deterred and whole roads blocked off for pedestrians only Horrible. Why would anyone want this for their grandchildren?

Sorry but that’s completely outrageous. Truss has been PM for only 6 weeks and has managed to utterly balls it up… so her party gets to carry on and pick someone else to foist on us in a week’s time? Definitely not. What a totally undemocratic disgrace. General Election. NOW.

How many of you know what Cruella Braverman's Public Order Bill contains? It's frankly unbelievable: legislation you might expect in Russia, Iran or Egypt. Here's a summary from my column today:
