some blue skies for a return to Bluesky & the world of comms!

excited to start @ifow.org this week - give them a follow for all things related to the future of work 💻

also excited to be based at the creative exchange community at Somerset House 🏡

very much enjoyed this!! big fan of presenting IfG recommendations in the form of rewritten and sung Christmas carols, who knew the porosity of the civil service could be so festive 🎄📚

currently on a bit of a break (no thanks to a summer US trip which managed to wreak some havoc on me, who would have thought) but on the lookout for new adventures in the world of Westminster & comms & media 💻

v surreal highlights included: holding the lift for Sir John Major & Gordon Brown, general election frenzy, so much pod (can’t get enough of experts!!) and somehow convincing my colleagues that I could be trusted with their tip-offs for a monthly newsletter ✍🏼

after a wonderful year with the finest of comms teams, I am very sadly no longer hiding behind the @instituteforgov.bsky.social handle (and have also scampered away from Twitter) 🐿️

find out more about IfG internships here! 10/10 would recommend.
