So funny watching people realise RR is an engineering beast.
The Rolls-Royce Micro-Reactor will provide reliable, autonomous energy solutions to multiple markets. Providing zero-emission power, our advanced nuclear technologies support many global Net Zero targets, solving energy dependence across many industries. ow.ly/1wYp50SneUX

China hacked the MOD a few months ago and has stolen the payroll data for our entire armed forces. Including identities and bank accounts . Coverage lasted maybe half a day or less.
Weβve spoken about donations for 5 days straight. Wall to wall.
"It was in a work context... This is fully transparent."
Education Sec @bphillipsonMP admits she accepted Β£14,000 in donations from Lord Alli to pay for an event "for lobby journalists" and an event ahead of her 40th birthday.

we didnβt build anything for 40 - 60 years.
weβre still dining out on Victorian infrastructure.
weβre hostages to our history and weβve stopped making history.
too many want the UK to become a museum rather than the workshop and laboratory of the world.

I remember a senior Architect and Lecturer proposing that cities should be covered in farms.
So I, a precocious 19 year old, asked.
Who exactly would be working on all these farms.
His response?
All of us.
Thatβs when I knew some people were not serious about solving real problems. π€‘

Britain not building anything is a very old problem. See this @CPSThinkTank report on Nimbyism from 1990 (two years after Nicholas Ridley invented the word)

We are absolutely hammering this generation. No retail jobs, no university without sky high debt, no freedom of movement and cultural exchange, no time with their friends due to social distancing, no affordable housing and giant recessions. All they can enjoy is Social Media. π€¦πΎββοΈ
It's bad enough the government spends far less on kids' education depending on where they live.
But to deliberately worsen a child's exams results because their school historically struggles because of that!?...
You're intentionally enforcing inequality!

I ask myself this question about being female, being disabled, being a refugee, being gay, being muslim. If the answer is no, I try and do more to support these groups. The point is EMPATHY and responsibility, not blame. We donβt choose who we are but we do choose how we relate.

"One of the criticisms I've faced over the years is that I'm not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I'm empathetic, I'm weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate and strong." - Jacinda Ardern nitter.app/the_female_lead/statusβ¦

Youβre right.
That being said, throwing a colleague out like trash without even the slight courtesy speaks volumes and smacks of feeling bad because it didnβt work out.
The board statement didnβt thank Sam, it didnβt suggest it was a difficult decision. Worse, it insinuated that he had done something unethical, and possibly criminal.

If millennials can permanently defeat NIMBYISM we will unlock a golden age for the UK.
Not just because weβll have higher growth but because weβll stop seeing growth as a bad thing and stop seeing stagnation as a good thing.

The new Morris EV Van is π.
100% electric. 100% British and the chassis is made from recycled carbon fibre from the Black Country. (Woop woop).
Why arenβt we using recycled carbon fibre for buildings? π€

Supposedly, the city of Santa Cruz planned to upgrade the Wharf in 2016 to be tsunami resistant but were blocked with a CEQA lawsuit by a group called "Donβt Morph the Wharf" who didn't want to change the Wharf, forcing a costly environmental study and stalling work.
And here's the result:
BREAKING CALIFORNIA: A LARGE SECTION OF THE SANTA CRUZ BEACH BOARDWALK HAS FALLEN OFF INTO THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

Making Britain great again is our Manhattan project.
Every layer from energy to healthcare must be upgraded with tech and creativity.
The political levers of high tax / low tax just arenβt good enough.
Had dinner last night with two recently exited founders in London: such an inspiring conversation about tech-led growth in the UK. I think people are really underestimating the amount of latent patriotism, energy and capacity to build the future here π¬π§π

Iβm writing a book! π₯³π₯³π₯³
Many thanks to @RIBA publishing for the opportunity to write this book.
Itβs a topic that Iβve been thinking (and talking) about for a LONG time.
Healthy Cities, and how we can afford them.

If in doubt. Just do this.
Critics of new development often cite concerns about height as the reason for their opposition.
Where these concerns are made in good faith, I believe it's because most new tall buildings appear bulky & burdensome.
But we know how to design new elegant, lovely tall buildings!

Note to self: Amsterdam is loved for many reasons. A big one is itβs town houses. Theyβre colourful, varied and interesting. Possibly the most curious thing about this image is that itβs not expensive to build. These are terraced houses! This is within reach π
