Excitement in Piccadilly tonight. I have spotted that a signed statue on a fibre glass plinth - signed Banksy”- has just appeared tonight in Mayfair’s clubland. Lots of chat about it among passers-by. It might be called “Blinded by the flag” I suppose. What do you think?

He did it politely and diplomatically but King Charles just reminded Congress: • NATO was there for USA after 9/11 • British Troops did fight in Afghanistan • Ukraine needs our help now • executive power must be subject to checks & balances • ice-caps are melting • America’s natural wonders need protecting

Make no bones about it, Orbán’s defeat in this election is also a defeat for both Trump and Putin. Magyar’s campaign focused on prosecuting the case that Orban’s administration was a corrupt grift, and overwhelmingly that appears to have won the day.

The 'public good' in economics has been framed as correcting for what the private sector doesn't do. But you cannot do good without a new theory of what good actually is. Presenting my next book, The Common Good Economy at @HowToAcademy—a practical 'common good compass' to navigate our economies in a radically different direction. How do we value each other? Set up innovative collaborations? Share knowledge, risks and rewards? The how matters as much as the what. 2 June | 19:00 | St Martin-in-the-Fields | Ticket link below

Impossible to overstate the importance of Jenni Murray to the movement of women that changed our politics, economy & our society; that changed our lives. She was the broadcasting wing of the women’s movement. We all owe her. RIP. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpwj…
