Check out this great JCMS article by Guderjan & Kรถlling on the EUโs Recovery & Resilience Facility. It shows how the RRF drove COVID-19 recovery and green/digital reforms while limiting parliamentary and local input.

It might help if the โsocial careโ added into the Departmental and Ministerial titles were backed up by a clearer mandate in statute - as happens in Northern Ireland. It wouldnโt solve everything by any means, but could signal more serious intent.

May the turning of the year offer time for reflection, and the opportunity for better things for all in 2026.

A day when one has not pushed oneself to the limit seems a damaged, damaging day, a sinful day. Not so! The most valuable thing one can do for the psyche, occasionally, is to let it rest, wander, live in the changing light of a room.โ May Sarton

Excellent piece on Broadcasting House yesterday about the need to include "and Social Care" when introducing / discussing the (UK) Secretary of State for Health...
Some thoughts on this disconnect in law, and how the UK approach can learn from Northern Ireland...

In the dark of December.
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.

Sad news to hear that Dorothy Vogel has passed away - such an inspirational woman who, together with her husband Herb amassed an incredible art collection (for the right reasons).
โHerb and Dorothyโ is well worth watching (also the follow-up, โHerb and Dorothy 50x50โ)
