I agree with this: Make Hope Normal Again is a brilliant slogan for our times. @zackpolanski.bsky.social is shifting the narrative, not just responding to it... And, let's face it, it's high time someone did that! 👏

It was great to become Chartered with the @cipr.co.uk last week. It was a rigorous, but enjoyable assessment day, with sessions around ethics, leadership and strategy.
For any PR leaders who have been too busy to get chartered (as I always was!) I would recommend putting some time aside for it.

Sudan in ‘world’s largest humanitarian crisis’ after two years of civil war
NGOs and UN say country is ‘worse off than ever before’ with wide-scale displacement, hunger and attacks on refugee camps
* Timeline: Sudan’s two years of war and its devastating toll
Sudan is suffering from the largest humanitarian crisis globally and its civilians are continuing to pay the price for inaction by the international community, NGOs and the UN have said, as the country’s civil war enters its third year.
Two years to the day since fighting erupted in Khartoum between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, hundreds of people were feared to have died in RSF attacks on refugee camps in the western Darfur region in the latest apparent atrocity of a war marked by its brutality and wide-scale humanitarian impact.

At just 0.5% of all registered lobbyists across 9 jurisdictions, Westminster's lobbying register is critically inadequate at tracking who is influencing our elected officials.

Interesting study from @cipr.co.uk - although the majority of pros are women, men are more likely to become leaders.
“We identified a culture within practice that exhausts women through constant pressure to prove their worth, manage impossible expectations, and navigate gendered double standards.”
