Another honest article ahead of Spending Review next week. Once these organizations & networks are gone, you can’t get them back. @BritishCouncil risks losing up to 40 offices. Some present for 90 years. That’s where trust in the UK comes from.

This was a very special talk today @hayfestival. I’m so glad I got to hear it. What a woman. And expertly handled by @campbellclaret. Felt very privileged to be in that room. The bravery is truly inspiring 🌎 🕊️.
About to take the stage with @yulia_navalnaya at @hayfestival … not many speakers get standing ovation before and after their event but she did. Pleasure and privilege to interview someone of such courage and hope
