I wrote for the Guardian’s Saturday magazine about my son Max, who changed how I see the world. Took ages. More jokes after the first bit.
Thanks @meropemills for being the most patient and generous editor.

They greeted each other in Irish …
Today, I met with King Charles for a one to one political engagement.
We greeted each other in Irish and spoke of our shared respect for language, culture and identity.
We discussed the importance of positive Irish and British relations as change happens across our society.
As First Minister, I will work tirelessly every day to represent all our people and communities.
