Photo of the Day. Allies.
World leaders at the London summit are seen smiling at each other and putting their arms around each other after the official group photo. Zelenskyy is smiling at Mark Rutte of NATO and Trudeau is seen putting his arm on the back of Donald Tusk. The photo carries a feeling of warmth and friendship.
The photo is credited to Javad Parsa of NTB and was published by Reuters

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

Still have cherished friendships from my first job in child protection in Ireland many years ago. A very valuable source of support & learning. Great article.

Life is short. Write that novel. Paint that painting. Try new recipes. Learn black magic. Go into the forest at night. Summon a demon. Earn that demon's trust. Become best friends with it. Brag to everyone else about your new cool demon best friend. Knit that sweater.
