@whippletom I may have missed earlier musings on this but did you hear Iris Elba @BBCRadio4 on this last week related to knife crime?

Whatever your view on this does it also chime with some themes of incoming ambo Mandy op ed for @FoxNews last week which matched some @realDonaldTrump issues with those of UK voters? Joined up…

This is Pinduoduo, the #china group buying e-commerce behemoth which was a godsend for many there during lockdown.

What’s the pace and volume of military air traffic in and very close to Washington, DC? Much more than London where I am, which also has airports close to downtown. Last week I shot this from my borrowed DC apartment. Wondered if it was Marine One. Common sight in DC. https://t.co/aD8tt6AS1h

What’s in that stack of Exec Orders for starters? https://t.co/ZetnuMXPzA

Want context on #china economy and what Xi wants, and how it’s working out as you prepare for @RachelReevesMP @hmtreasury debrief on that visit? See here https://t.co/U9lEq63JBH

Fondly remembering a previous CX trip to #china when we reported on the revelation that @David_Cameron was launching an investment fund (which came to nothing) now he was out of office. @hmtreasury spinners with @PhilipHammondUK not pleased but you need to spot news in advance.
