Great to hear cross party support for Scotland's status as a Fair Trade Nation in Parliament today. The work of brilliant local campaigners was highlighted, as was the need to do more across all sectors, and for Fair Trade principles to be applied more widely across Scottish business

What is 'grown up' about pulling development support from countries we've extracted, pillaged and benefited from historically? Is it only children who have a moral backbone??

Properly inspirational speech from Gordon Brown @scvo.scot #SCVOGathering. Passionate about the need to eradicate child poverty & how it can be done with political will & collaboration. Also tangible ideas on how the voluntary sector can get more funding. Brilliant anecdotes too :)

Great event @sccscot.bsky.social, uniting Scotland for climate action. V useful insights from Emma @climateoutreach.bsky.social - people want climate leadership & a fair transition. Good to hear Zarina Ahmad on engaging marginalised communities. And of course Minister @alasdairallanmsp.bsky.social

Is this finally peak Adrian Chiles?

I confess to not having yet found all the light switches in my new office and feels like little chance of figuring out the printer... But I found the right (slightly retro) mug!

Finally made it to Sear's pizza, and it was gooooooood! Also tempted by Kimchi Cult next door... 'hot numbing', anyone?

New job, new social media account... High hopes for Blue sky! Robert says hi too...
