Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world
"German experiment gave people a basic monthly income. The effect on their work ethic was surprising"
"people are likely to continue working full-time even if they receive no-strings-attached universal basic income payments"

Great event in wilmslow today for half marathon. So well organised with amazing volunteers. Not the time I wanted but still so appreciative I can take on these challenges & enjoy them. A bit more patience & careful injury management is needed on my part.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…
“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social
Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

On this day 15 years ago these two younger looking fellas formed Know and Do Limited. We struck out on our own to try our hand at management consulting. I've loved the people we've met on the way, the variety of businesses and enterprises. My big thanks to Andrew Ramwell for the partnership!
Meanwhile, the appalling realities of Russian aggression in Ukraine continue. Local officials in Ukraine say at least one person was killed in the Black Sea port of Odesa and five others wounded in the eastern city of Kharkiv after Russia launched a wave of drones overnight.
Yes the Peak District is so unpredictable. I've only been on this Tor once before, in freezing temp, thick fog & heavy rain in August! Always worth the effort. Hope your next visit is better.
Enjoyed a winter sun run around Goyt Valley & Shining Tor this am. Such a treat to have the Peak District so close. It was perfect weather for muddy trail run. A surprise to meet running mates out too. My knee held up on the hills & miles today so hopeful of longer runs in the spring

When you put it like that, you see how nonsensical it is.
Birth to 5 matters is such a great document and it’s wonderful to see the DFE actively sharing it and promoting its use.
This is an excellent reflection on how those in the sector can work together in the best interests of children. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Much of what we think & believe isn't fact-based. We have 1st impressions, gut or funny feelings, fears, & sympathies. We've become a bit lazy about finding out facts, & it's getting increasingly harder. But it still remains our main, most important job.
#GoodMorning, everyone.

Supporting my colleague Andrew Ramwell from Know and Do Ltd leading another Managing Change workshop for SMEs today. Fab to be back in Anthony Burgess Foundation, a relaxing space to learn.

On a very cold around Gun Moor, Peak District last wkend I took a selfie during a fab 10 mile trail run with a mate. I've just asked AI to produce me a professional looking version of the same picture as a test. Not sure I can spot the difference!! 😉
Can you tell which one is real? 😂😂😂
This letter in the New Statesman a couple of years ago seems even truer now.
...& these are just the things that can be measured in Sterling & numbers. Add to this the loss of study/work/life opportunities, cross-border understanding, family reunions & returns, language learning, international friendships & contacts, the belief in the value of cooperation & compromise.
Fab to have the Peak District so close to me. The new year has allowed me some running around Hen Cloud, Roaches, Luds church, Gun Moor and Tittesworth Reservoir. Thursday was so sunny and clear. Today misty and more ice. To be able to explore the trails and hills is a real treat.
