PREACH, Ed 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
We can't let British democracy turn into a plaything for overseas billionaires with short attention spans.
At PMQs, I urged the Prime Minister to work with us to make sure power always sits with the voters, not wealthy foreign oligarchs.

Evolving DevOps to Platform as a Product is an excellent journey. It’s time to look back and celebrate and look forward and salivate!

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.
To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.
