Come for omelettes at midnight she said. What? No. Yes I went, yes I stayed till 3.30am. Of course it was eggcellent. Thanks @jemima.bsky.social and all the other fun people like @heawood.bsky.social who bought fags on a tray.

So @madisonmarriage.bsky.social left the FT today, and let me tell you, she has nerves of steel. youtu.be/TODYX6fNRYk

few essays lay out the challenges for truth and society and what role journalism needs to play under techno authoritarianism as well as Carlos Dada’s Reuters Memorial lecture - from this week reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/carlos-...

We shared this last IWD - the road as long, the strong man politics defeating us. However! I had to change the music (boring license reasons) but it meant that 11 year old Rita and her dad Tristan created this original track for us and it's so beautiful- hope in the voice in the next generation.

Very unusually I have written something, a piece about becoming German and celebrating a school being named after my great-grandmother- it was less triumphant than I had envisioned.

Teenagers - I like their chat

If you want to give feedback to the government on their proposed changes to the immigration system - like a decade wait for settled status - do it here.

I'm not prone to exaggeration but this is probably the biggest scoop I've ever been involved in Mandelson's partner took £10,000 from Epstein to pay for his osteopath course while Mandelson was de facto UK deputy prime minister, according to new files more to follow www.ft.com/content/c950...

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments: One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

Yes, Stephen Fry walking backwards with 3 bowls of tinned spaghetti @tomhannen.ft.com knows all about it.

Also I can confirm that AI video generation is very much not at the 'just type it in and get what you want' stage. Getting this sort of thing back was the norm, not the exception #recallmemaybe

As US investment in AI is in the spotlight- what does this mean for truth? We have been working on a drama for many months about AI, memory, what we believe to be true and how to protect it. It's here to watch now.

A sneak peak of our powerful new FT drama starring Stephen Fry and directed by @realbaddiel.bsky.social. Out tomorrow in FT Edit!

What will become of the truth? The latest FT drama is publishing 18th September. I really can't wait to share it, it's been about 2 years in the making.

The FT View: The longer it has continued, the more it has borne the hallmarks of a vengeful assault by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right government to destroy the very fabric of Palestinian society. https://on.ft.com/3UBv3Us

‘We can’t invent hope. But we can find a way to live without faking it, to forge something good out of this anger, and this love. In that determination, we can create the fertile soil for hope to take root when it decides to arrive.’

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

My contribution to our charticle on Trump's tumultuous first 100 days. It's not uncommon for presidents to use exec orders to roll back previous admin's ones, but Trump has taken it to extremes enterprise-sharing.ft.com/redeem/64949...

You would need an AI-scale polygraph to capture all of Musk’s disinformation. Nowhere has Musk expressed concern for the estimated 20,000 Ukrainian children abducted from their homes and forcibly adopted into Russian families. @edwardluce.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/ff7b...
