"Beneath the golden smile of tourism lurks something eternally sinister; something that, as I looked out onto those black slopes, seemed to leer back, whispering its demonic presence."
Some thoughts on my trip last year to Interlaken. #Travel

A wide shot of the courtyard in the university of Glasgow building- a large, gothic, castle-like structure against blue skies.
The setting for my meeting this afternoon was rather gorgeous. As a Strath alumni, even I have to admit Glasgow Uni is undoubtedly the most beautiful campus #GlasgowUniversity #Scotland
I’ve found the whole political fall out over farmer’s inheritance tax really interesting, so I’m grateful for @timleunig.bsky.social resharing his excellent quick read on the recent changes and why they’re actually good for farming (also Jeremy Clarkson is daft) 👇
Would you like to follow the voices of brilliant women working in policy, politics, research, media and more across Scotland? If so, I have a starter pack for you 🌟⤵️

a starter pack of people I have sent apologetic texts to, out of an irrational hangover-fuelled fear I said something awful in the pub the night before
As BlueSky takes off, I thought it a good idea to put together a starter pack of academics and think tankers interested and involved in Scottish affairs.
Bear in mind that I absolutely half-arsed this, so if you're missing (sorry) let me know and I'll add you! go.bsky.app/A88PM2W
On this very chilly morning, it feels like an apt time to repost my partner's most recent piece about our trip to Zermatt this Summer ⛰️ A personal highlight is being referred to as "the chocolate-munching rearguard."
Grab a coffee, get cosy and have a read 👇

I can’t remember the name of it but there’s a TikTok account dedicated to calling out the most painful connections answer of the past month - quite cathartic haha

Working in/around politics is funny because moments like the current purported “AlL tHe LeFtIeS aRe LeAvInG X” and “echo chamber” panic is treated as a central topic of concern yet 99% of the public don’t know about it or give a toss
Ginny!! An excellent first post 🙌🏻
My partner wrote this wonderful piece about our trip to Zermatt this summer ⛰️
Featuring a measured critique of fondue, a pointy mountain, and a lot of tourists (inc. us, obviously)

Finally deleted my X account, I swear to god if BlueSky fails I'll be so mad
Ideal, thanks Daryl!
