What’s up with organisations recruiting on short-term contracts to fill short-term capacity gaps 🤷🏻‍♀️

Awesome examples of co-produced strategic plans, especially those involving young people?! Bonus points if the product/strategy doc is publicly available!

From a strategic perspective it seems mad to me that to appease & appeal to centre-right members and voters, Sunak went to yesterday’s man David Cameron and not Ruth Davidson, who did so much to build modern conservatism as a credible force in Scotland after years of decline.

Word of the day is ‘blutterbunged’ (19th-century English dialect): confounded, bemused, or totally overcome by surprise.

Delighted to hear that Winston Kearse has been returned home safely, hoping he and his family get time and space to heal and recover.

I often meet people out and about who either think they are too senior or junior to join us at Women in Public Affairs Scotland (WiPA). We encourage all experience levels to join us on the committee!

We are establishing a senior advisory panel to help us with our strategy and evolution moving forward ✨

Cannot wrap my head around the weakness of having to ask your predecessor to take over an office of state, because none of your 350 colleagues are deemed sufficiently competent or supportive of your leadership to do it. Absolutely wild.

Good grief.

One of the great offices of state reduced to “he’ll stop the boats”.

Just grim. They really are an exhausted, depleted government whose time is up.

Waking up to Suella being sacked. I’d say it’s a beautiful start to a Monday, but she’s just going to be replaced by some other Tory zealot anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pals can anyone help me out with the law? One of the kids was in a shop in Edinburgh and knocked a figurine off a shelf by accident, and the shop wouldn’t let her leave until she paid £27 for it. Told her it was store policy. I am pretty livid. What are her rights?
