Vigil for peace in Ukraine with our Ukrainian guests this weekend. We didn't anticipate we would be still living together after 3 years and would have become family to one another. Nor did we fully anticipate the seismic movement of tectonic plates and alliances in our world.

Scotland is on course to have the lowest child poverty rate in the UK within five years - and it’s set to keep falling, according to a report by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.

Wonderful Diwali event in Bradford at the weekend. Especially as Vinay, who I first met when he came to work shadow me at the age of 15 (and yes he was nearly 6ft then) was MC for the night. Our last big gig was hosting William and Kate just before lockdown in 2020!
