I feel like our salon has just had a drawing room makeover. Let’s behave as if nothing has happened! Thanks to Matt, Abbie and Richard at Score. Ruth and I are off to see Cabinet Office Minister Pat McFadden on Thursday. We’ll be on the lookout as always for anything contructive for the critical friends […]
