4 days in to 2023 and I have a strong contender for Most Tedious Task of the Year. But I'm betting "getting out of bed" will be the ultimate winner in that category.

On Tuesday, our Managing Director and House of Commons Librarian Grant Hill-Cawthorne gave evidence to the @CommonsDCMS Committee on misinformation and trusted voices. Hear more about how we ensure our Library briefings remain impartial:

In a work situation it's always tempting to think "This is it, this is the one where I get found out for not having a clue". But learning never stops and "being found out" is only an opportunity to learn more.

New job on Monday. Well, same as the old job, really - same building, same department - but different floor and different research section. Excited for a change but apprehensive at all I have to learn!

Aged 7, primary school, inter-house football tournament in winter, t-shirt and short shorts, so cold I couldn't move. Someone gave me their tracksuit top and the warmth was SO good I can still feel the relief 40 years later. Can't remember the score tho.

Top quality research

Well today had its ups and downs

Ohh I effed up and trod on my cat when I got home. He still jumped up and sat with me but the lack of purr was damning.
