My latest blog for @cipr.co.uk Influence Mag explains why communications should be a strategic public sector function. Too often treated as an HR add-on, it’s actually a leadership discipline shaping decisions at the highest level.

Brilliant day in Cambridge hosting the @cipreastanglia.bsky.social conference! Key takeaways: trust is local, act fast, prebunk, measure impact, and embrace new skills. Huge thanks to the speakers and my amazing team. As @shayonislynn.bsky.social said “Hope is a strategy – if we act deliberately”

No human being is illegal – these are people fleeing war, violence and persecution. If you have a public platform, remember that your words carry influence, so I would urge you to research carefully before sharing views that might unintentionally spread misinformation.

Using a flag to excuse or justify racism is never acceptable. The Union Flag should stand for unity, fairness, respect, democracy, and freedom — values that bring people together, not drive them apart. We should be proud of our flag for what it truly represents, never misuse it to spread hate.

100% agree with everything this caller says.
‘The ridiculousness of this blooming Rachel Reeves crying… I thought she had hay fever.’
Caller Helen doesn’t think criticism of Keir Starmer and his MPs is entirely fair: ‘they must work 18 to 24 hours a day’.

Describing a change in approach as a ‘U-turn’ is an oversimplification. In reality, listening, reflecting, and adapting course in response to new evidence or feedback is a hallmark of effective leadership.

Tonight’s episode of #Eastenders was flawless. Steve McFadden’s portrayal
of Phil’s psychosis and depression has been first class. It demonstrates how mental health can affect anyone at any time.
