Honoured to be part of this board. As Virginia Woolf said, "London perpetually attracts, stimulates, gives me a play and a story and a poem, without any trouble, save that of moving my legs through the streets." (Sad to have missed the class photo due to an emergency last week).
Exciting news!

I was honoured to observe the first meeting of the UK’s Soft Power Council this week. This council, which was recommended in a report I co-authored with
@unioftheartslondon.bsky.social last year, will further the role of British soft power assets in promoting peace, tolerance, and collaboration. 🧵
