Love our American cousins dearly, but their obsession with cars is something else. We tried to walk between two adjacent neighbourhoods yesterday and it was basically impossible. For all the UK’s faults, the fact that we can walk and cycle most places is something to cherish.

So my future mother-in-law is looking after our cat while we’re away… They seem to be getting along really really well, which is great. But it’s also painful. A dog will pine while you’re away, cats will literally move on instantly 😂

After a positive but challenging start to the year, we’re on holiday! We are both shouldering a lot at the moment, but for the next week… My job is just… beach? 🏝️💖

A proud moment today… Back in the late 2010s, I was in a tough place and had piled up £10ks of debt. Today, I now have as much saved as I ever owed. Money problems are a massive factor behind poor mental health and male suicide. Guys PLEASE talk about it, there’s a way out.

Had a few comments on how I dress (smart casual) and my accent (South London) of late… It’s 2024. How are people still thinking about work identity in such an old school way? How you dress and speak shouldn’t matter anymore. It’s the contents of your brain and heart that do ❤️

So so proud of @GrahamcoleAct celebrating 50 years in showbiz next month… Very few performers get to do what they love for five decades AND be a great dad, husband and human being at the same time. Love you dad ❤️

WHO WANTS TO MEET THIS YEAR’S BABY SWANS? The Brockwell Park swans are prodigious parents. Eight again this year following years of seven, and six. I make it 29 in four years. Well done mum and dad ❤️🦢

Spoke to someone today who’s going for a new job that’s so far involved six stages and meeting 15 different people… How can a prospective employer expect that much from a candidate? That’s a full time job just trying to get the actual job. Rules so many people out.

There’s a lot going on in my brain right now, and when I feel like this I take a walk to my old neighbourhood to see an old friend… It always works. The bond this cat and I have defies explanation.

Getting increasingly worried about the use of AI in recruitment now… You can already see it in some candidate’s CVs and interview answers. It’s really obvious guys! But using it on the hiring side is worse. Taking the humans out of an already tough process is not a good idea.

Rishi Sunak today announced plans to review the fit note system for people who aren’t well enough to work, with a focus on mental health. His speech continues a trend in recent rhetoric that is stigmatising, harmful, and inaccurate.

Governments have repeatedly focused on changing who the health & disability 'gatekeepers' are in the benefits system & emphasising the need for them to focus on 'what people can do, not what they can't' But without addressing more fundamental issues it is doomed to failure...🧵

This is what’s important to realise about the trap many people now find themselves in… Rent is now increasing at THREE TIMES the rate of overall inflation. Limiting the prospects for millions of people, trapped in a system that only works for the few. Something has to change.

Success isn’t your job title Success isn’t your salary Success isn’t fancy awards Success isn’t profit Success is hiring amazing people, giving them the support and tools to grow. Setting them up and watching them exceed all your expectations 🤩

Yet again we find ourselves trying to make sense of unprecedented times. The human mind and soul are not built to deal with constant existential dread… Dive into what’s important. Family, friends, your work. Take care and give people the extra benefit of the doubt this week ❤️

Massively proud work moment today… We signed off the new recruitment part of our business in January, hired an amazing person to run it last month and have gone live with our first role today. Dream it. Believe it. Make it happen 💜
