I’ve been thinking this too. Jet lag mixed with the highest order of emotional turmoil. I’d need at least a week to recover 🤯

Brexit has obliterated a large chunk of trade between Ireland and Great Britain. And - no real surprise, surely - it has hurt the UK significantly more than it has hurt Ireland. The greatest act of self-harm in our history just keeps on giving. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Interesting to listen to former Sun editor @davidyelland.bsky.social discuss Prince Harry’s @hackedoff.bsky.social case and apology. It’s quite an insight into the tabloid press. It does feel like there’s some information missing, but it’s good that they covered it… www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Significant intervention by former BoE chief economist & RSA boss Andy Haldane He warns if the OBR March forecasts lead to cuts to spending/investment “it would be deeply counterproductive to both growth & to the fiscal position” & cause “a doomed loop between debt and growth” t.co/ZMW5JyoNXa

I am reliably informed that Blue Monday is just a marketing ploy. Nevertheless, I had the urge to search for positive news this morning and came across this site www.goodnewspost.co.uk It looks quite new and aims to train young journalists. So it’s worth checking out and supporting #GoodNews

An interesting article in @prmoment.bsky.social For as long as I’ve worked in PR there has been a debate about data, measurement and evaluation. I have always favoured measuring outcomes, not outputs, but all insight has its place. www.prmoment.com/pr-insight/i...

Is anyone else feeling uncomfortable with the amount of coverage around Musk’s X comments? A billionaire’s comments on UK politics matters, but got over 20 minutes on #R4today this morning 🤯 The UK media spent 2016-20 obsessed with every deranged tweet from Trump. Let’s not repeat that pattern.

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

Happy New Year people on Bluesky! I’ve been thinking on some of the most impactful campaigns of 2024. In my view ‘Martha’s rule’ - the campaign for the opportunity to request a review of a hospital care plan was extraordinary. Hoping it’s rolled out everywhere in 2025. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I know everyone likes to think that they were young during the best time to be young, but we clearly were. I used to love dancing all night - people now in their 20s don’t know what they’re missing! www.ft.com/content/2138...

UK media: please could you start profiling more European politics? We understand the importance of America, but we need to know more about our allies across the EU. Let’s not spend the next four years obsessing over every crackpot tweet from the President…

Did anyone catch the name of the person being interviewed on #R4Today about Britain’s response to the #commonwealth re slavery? I thought his strategy of saying ‘look, one day the UK will need to accept this’ was very effective.

Why on earth would we not apologise for our role in slavery? Is Starmer worried about the response of the right?

I very much recommend listening to this interview. It covers international policy, peace (including in Palestine) recovery, alcoholism and mental health. So informative.
