Nigella joins GBBO.
Suella joins Reform.
One move - making something good even better.

This is a truly horrifying account of increasingly likely collapse of essential natural systems which would bring mass food shortages, price rises & global disorder. Commissioned from UK intelligence chiefs but scandalously suppressed by Govt, & sneaked out now while attention is elsewhere 👇

A lot of people think UX design is about features. It's not. The best UX comes from finding the gaps between the features, and then filling those gaps with delicious sticky marmalade so that your users can't escape

Being decisive and detail-oriented keeps teams safe.
Until it starts making people hesitate to share ideas with you.
It’s not that you’re “too much.”
It’s that your sharpness shows up before your curiosity does.
If you want more influence, lead with openness before accuracy.
