Without thinking, I just ending a telephone conversation with, "Alright Duck". #Staffordshire #EastMidlands PS: "Duck": Despite sounding like the bird, it is derived from the Anglo-Saxon term ducas, which was used as a form of respect, similar to "duke".

Woo hoo! I got tickets to @emfcamp.bsky.social 2026 :-) www.emfcamp.org/tickets #emfcamp #emf2026

On the way home from facilitating an away day. Started writing 2 lists: 1) things to improve, 2) things to celebrate. My improve list is 4 times longer than my celebrate list. Not because I have a negative mindset. But because I'm good at spotting things to fix. Right? 🙂

Before my time with The Pensions Regulator is done, I'd love to figure out how I could get paid to organise all the cross-gov things. Not fussed what combination of people or organisations fund me (public, private, voluntary sector, etc) within reason. #PublicSector #community #events

Q: Anyone fancy doing a @ukgovcamp.com XL next year, please? Would be interesting to open the registration this month, then have all year to promote it and see how many people we get. Would also be awesome to get a sponsored hotel deal so people can arrive the day before. Thoughts? #ukgc26

Enormous thanks to the organisers of #ukgc26 and to the sponsors. The event is a highlight of my year, every year - I’m leaving with fresh insights, reflections and book recommendations! Such brilliant and lovely people.

Thank you #ukgc26. Great day, community and discussions.. and hope!

I'm walking to the @ukgovcamp.com 2026 ( #ukgc26 ) venue in #Birmingham and just got shat on by a seagull. Fuck you bad omens, nothing will keep me away 🙂

Making stickers for @ukgovcamp.com 2026 in #Birmingham this Saturday. Thanks to @janethughes.bsky.social for the #HopeCamp idea 🙂 Makes a nice change from #FailCamp... #ukgc26

We’ve published our response to the ADHD Taskforce report. One big win: it calls for a “single front door” for ADHD care, helping replace today’s fragmented pathways. With a new review now underway, it’s vital this progress isn’t paused. Test-and-learn pilots can move this forward safely.

@jukes.ie do you have a working in the open playbook, please?
