Would your boss notice, or even care, if you didn’t turn up to work for seven days? The MI6 spy Gareth Williams was missing from work for a week before the security services alerted the police. Given his work as a spy, it does seem inconceivable that nobody bothered to raise the alarm. Inconceivable, insulting and not exactly confidence- inspiring.

Londoners interested in the visual arts are fortunate enough to live in a constant whirl of exhibitions. We have only to consider the first few months of this year — the great Leonardo show at the National Gallery, old Zoffanys and brave new Hockneys at the Royal Academy, a melancholy farewell to Freud at the National Portrait Gallery, Picasso at Tate Britain and the British Museum, Damien Hirst at Tate Modern, Mondrian at the Courtauld, Canaletto in Greenwich, Indian drawings in Dulwich, Turner and Claude replacing Leonardo in Trafalgar Square and Leonardo reappearing as an anatomist at Buckingham Palace — to realise how rich and fortunate we are to experience so much and such variety.

read moreA good night for Labour — and Boris
Last night’s election results will give cheer to Labour, with one exception: London. For while nationally the opposition has made impressive gains in council seats, all the signs are that in London, Ken Livingstone is set to lose to Boris Johnson. Nevertheless, Mr Johnson’s likely victory may prove problematic in the long term, fuelling some Tories’ search for a different kind of Conservatism. The results will also further call into question just what the Liberal Democrats gain from coalition government.
