This April, I'm running the London Marathon to support Hong Kong Well — a vital charity helping 150k+ Hong Kong families build new lives in the UK. Hong Kong Well provides crucial counselling & support for HK kids in the UK — your support will help them thrive in their new home 🇬🇧🇭🇰 Every £ helps 🙏🏾

Incredibly sad. David Webb has been a indispensable source for HK journalists & anyone remotely concerned with governance. Thank you for everything.

Braverman should be driven out of public life for saying something as bigoted, conspiratorial, ridiculous, and dumb as this but she won’t be, of course, because anti-Muslim bigotry and Islamophobic fearmongering has been normalized in British public life.

Zuckerberg isn’t kissing Trump or Musk’s ring. He’s not preemptively capitulating He never wanted to moderate his platforms. They were all programmed to accelerate conspiracy theories and radicalization for profit Understand there are those who will cooperate out of fear and those who are relieved

3-1 is a fair reflection of how Australia outplayed India, particularly at key moments. An unhappy tour for India, who pay the price for a confused selection policy - undermined by threadbare bowling & wholly reliant on the genius of Bumrah. #AUSvIND #BGT

Typically lovely and astute Gideon Haigh piece on the epic Boxing Day test at the MCG (attendance: 370,000!) in which he makes the important point that a test which lasts five days is almost always better than one which ends in 3. www.cricketetal.com/p/you-had-to...

96% of children in Gaza feel that their death is imminent and almost half want to die as a result of trauma. 92% of the children in the survey were “not accepting of reality”, 79% suffer from nightmares and 73% exhibit symptoms of aggression.

I'm pretty sure Mark Nicholas just described Rishabh Pant as "riddled with talent" #AUSvIND

On the Caixin Substack, they're just published their 2017 interview with Carrie Lam in full for free. It makes for an interesting historical document attesting to her characteristic blend of hubris, complacency, and false modesty. She genuinely has no clue she's about to shove the city off a cliff.

The Cathay apology tour is neverending...

Thankfully, I've found 2024 to be a fascinating year for new music. So, why not share my favourite albums of the year? First up is Chilean rapper Isleña Antumalen, who brings together hip-hop, dembow & jazz on the gloriously bouyant ÑAÑ​A islenaantumalen.bandcamp.com/album/a-a
