Hey @bowsy.co.uk - thanks for taking the time to explain. Fully appreciate the journalists point!! On the "wreckers" - that's really sad! But if its a worry then absolutely you have to do the work to look after people.

If there's anything in terms of follow up with digital folks, I'd be interested

That's fair, thanks Stefan. Some of that narrative in the comms would help. For what its worth I think a blurring of the lines is what's needed - we should have more in common than what divides us.

This doesn't feel very open: creating a closed space for just policy makers to reflect feels like it moves even further into silos.

The success of things like @oneteamgov.bsky.social to bring policy + digital closer together shows there's a need to keep doing this. Is this is a backwards step?

And to be very fair I haven't stayed away (or really travelled) for a year due to injury, so would have to look again...

There's the rub, and that's not good. Maybe try to is a better statement!!

The choice of hotels (and facilities) has definitely not kept up with the cost of living, that's for sure!!

Emilia Bassano is having a renaissance at the moment...there's a Jodi Picoult covering the story, which it feels had the same amount of research...

Have you reviewed Hamnet?

You will absolutely smash it. Just breathe, and give yourself time to acclimatise. Holler if you need anything, and looking forward to hearing about it!
