We shared this last IWD - the road as long, the strong man politics defeating us. However! I had to change the music (boring license reasons) but it meant that 11 year old Rita and her dad Tristan created this original track for us and it's so beautiful- hope in the voice in the next generation.

Very unusually I have written something, a piece about becoming German and celebrating a school being named after my great-grandmother- it was less triumphant than I had envisioned.

If you want to give feedback to the government on their proposed changes to the immigration system - like a decade wait for settled status - do it here.

As US investment in AI is in the spotlight- what does this mean for truth? We have been working on a drama for many months about AI, memory, what we believe to be true and how to protect it. It's here to watch now.

I wrote for the Guardian’s Saturday magazine about my son Max, who changed how I see the world. Took ages. More jokes after the first bit. Thanks Merope Mills for being the most patient and generous editor. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...
