Haven't posted any new stuff on my site in ages - but Friday's fun with Crowdstrike and Microsoft made me think. It's not an article of finger-pointing or sage-like wisdom, but a reflection on a couple of things I took away from Friday's events buff.ly/3A3J1Ya

A new government - with a lot of work to do... Pleased with the change and the scale of that change. But Starmer has a lot to do, a lot to fix and still a way to go to convince some people he's the right choice.
