Me in the New Zealand Parliament, where they are slightly more chill about photos than they are in Britain.

Hello! It’s time for Odds and Ends, your weekly round-up of interesting links and micro-takes.

This week I’m featuring:

  • The Bizarro World that is the New Zealand Parliament

  • Why we might have just experienced the most important week of Labour government since Attlee

  • Some good news about NASA’s human spaceflight plans (maybe)

  • Why Ed Miliband needs to get a move on with nuclear

  • Britain’s new tech unicorn is a cool company

  • Weirdly, nothing about Christmas

But before we get to the links… a little something about where I’ve been this week.

New Zealand’s Bizarro World Parliament
