Unfashionably, I think it’s sensible for government to remind us to be prepared for eventualities. But I enjoyed the following juxtaposition. Andy Burnham, September 2026: hope in every heart. Andy Burnham, October 2026: canned goods & water for three days in every house.

Shell, with Headquarters in Lambeth, made £7.4 billion in 3 months 🤯 This is a climate emergency 🌍 We are asking Shell to contribute to Lambeth’s climate resilience plan, in proportion to its share of global emissions 💰 It's time they helped pay to protect Lambeth 🫵

Andy Burnham is right about people playing music or taking speaker calls on their phones on public transport. There. I said it.

In Back to the Future Part II, made in 1989, the future element was set in 2015. On 21 October 2015, Marty arrived to find that they had hoverboards and flying cars as standard. It is now eleven years later, 21 October 2026. Still waiting.

#Deanehistory 164. The Last Castle, the Strangest Battle. Hat tip @EmpireAttendant. Itter Castle stands on a hill near the village from which it takes its name in western Austria. During the war – after the Anschluss, of course – the Germans turned it into a prison.
