“Gov’t knows where the public is. The polling is very clear. The single most influential group that needs to step up right now is business - every size, every industry, every location - to push the gov’t towards EU alignment during this critical period. Now is the time of maximum impact.”

We craft these episodes not to increase your exposure to Trump insanity, but to minimise it. With warmth, humour, and calm, we filter out the panto and focus on what matters. And there's nobody better than @brianklaas.bsky.social at this. Best analysis you'll hear this week, in my view.

Hello lovely followers! Given - ahem - global events and constantly worsening state of Twitter it seems wise to start preparing to end use of that platform, and make this my primary outlet. However so far, only got about 5% of the following carried over. If you can gies a wee boost, I'd be thankful!

I am so insanely excited and nervous about this. Our first livecast and what a day for it - and what a panel! Have to say, start a podcast in late May to 750k downloads and a former UN Deputy Secretary General as a guest by early November was NOT in the business plan, was it @pimlicat.bsky.social.

“Kemi Badenoch has been elected with only a third of MPs and just over a third of the membership behind her. In a party addicted to factional strife, chaos, and regicide, is that enough support - especially for someone who plans to pick a lot of fights?"
