I will never stop being amazed by Heddy Lamar’s life and works. Born into a Jewish family in Austria, a film star in Hollywood and invented frequency-hopping technology, a precursor to the secure wi-fi, GPS and Bluetooth now used by billions of people around the world.

Really excited to see the commitment to new legislation for self-driving vehicles in the Queen’s Speech today. This is crucial to unlock the transformative potential of fully driverless AVs. We look forward to working with @transportgovuk to safely deploy this technology.

“It isn’t a case of the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable-Oscar Wilde once described fox-hunting,but @elonmusk campaign to buy Twitter could be seen as the unpredictable chasing down the unprofitable.

Retweeted by Brent Hoberman This is not just war between Russia and Ukraine. It's a war between democracy and tyranny. Between future and past. Between innovation and backwardness. Between humanity and cruelty. For the sake of everything that is good in this world, for the sake of hope, Ukraine should win.
Retweeted by Brent Hoberman Consider sizes of countries where Putin waged his wars in chronological order:
1. Chechnya, 1999 - 1 million
2. Georgia, 2009 - 4 million
3. Syria, 2015 - 17 million
4. Ukraine, 2022 - 44 million
He's scaling up and quickly. Each time he chooses a bigger prey. So far it worked
