Quote - Talat Yaqoob - “Even if it’s not on the plan, it’s not in the five-year plan or the ten-year plan – and if you’re like me, you probably have one – if it feels good and it feels exciting, give it a try. Especially if it maybe is a little bit uncomfortable. ... It’s something worth learning”

Quote - Lily Greenan - “Find some way to document what you’re doing and to be able to go back now and again and remind yourself that you’ve learned a few things since then … share [with others/future generations] what you’ve done that worked that was successful, and what you did that just landed flat.”

Quote - Pheona Matovu - “I would say be you. If you don’t know who you are, take time to know who you were. Allow yourself to just know yourself and be you. And at this age, it’s something that I am learning still, but it’s a very powerful tool because you don’t have to try and be somebody else.”

Quote - Alison Pickup - “Don’t hurry. Like, I think when you’re young and enthusiastic, you can be very impatient to get on with your career and with achieving big things. But there’s plenty of time and what’s important is to really take time to know what you enjoy, what motivates you, where your skills are and focus on that area.”

Ending destitution for excluded people is possible – if Scotland acts at scale Ending destitution for excluded people is possible – if Scotland acts at scale. New report warns that progress risks stalling unless proven models are rapidly expanded.

Why? A recent multi-year evaluation by @bethwcobbe.bsky.social @i-sphere.bsky.social demonstrates how the innovative Fair Way Partnership benefits society as a whole

Today, Andrew got me a card, a present and took me to dinner. I didn’t get him anything.

But, Andrew’s love language is social media posts. And although I’ve never done one for him before, I guess he’s earned this one.

This is Andrew. Today is the 8th anniversary of our first date, and this is where we first met.

That day, Andrew’s honesty, sincerity and brilliant wit shone through. It took me another 7 years to fully appreciate his selflessness, unerring sense of justice and fierce loyalty to those he loves.

Mahmoud has listened to same clique of senior Home Office officials who have advised for 30+ years that loud announcements of punitive policies will deter refugees from coming to UK to seek asylum.

Labour did this extensively last time. It didn’t work.

The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world"

That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

I cannot think of a more timely message this afternoon, as we await the UK Labour Home Scty's announcement of a raft of cruel, unnecessary and selfish policies that will prove devastating to all people who are migrant in the UK today 🧡
