A new UK-EU deal & all the memories of November 2018 come flooding back - and with it nostalgia for a long-extinct blue bird. No time like the present to peer into the bright blue sky and see what you lot have been up to.

It was a real privilege to be in Belfast on Monday to discuss our report on possible reforms at Stormont with @katyhayward.bsky.social, Ann Watt at @pivotalppf.bsky.social and a very thoughtful and perceptive audience. For all who couldn't be there, see the full recording here. 👇
