When I started Atticus six years ago, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that we would come this far. It is a source of immense pride. Well done to the team for all their hard work. We go again.
Delighted to be named as the 12th largest public affairs agency in the UK by revenue in the latest @prweek rankings, up three places from last year. Congratulations to our hard-working, talented team for delivering such an outstanding year!

We were delighted to recently host @ToniaAntoniazzi for a webinar on the future of rugby. In this clip from the event, Tonia discusses the financial pressures facing many rugby clubs and the importance of them engaging with their elected representatives. youtube.com/watch?v=qJ2CdoVq…

Well done to @HKane, very well deserved. Great acceptance speech that should serve as an example both to aspiring kids and other professionals about staying grounded and the level of dedication required to succeed. A great role model. 👏
Where do I begin? That was an evening I'll never forget. It’s an incredible honour to receive the Ballon d’Or award after a year full of goals, trophies and special milestones. Thank you to all the staff and my teammates at @england and @fcbayern, as well as family, friends and everyone who’s supported me – this wouldn’t be possible without you all. Thank you to everyone who has sent a kind message, social media post - I appreciate every single one of them. This will live long in the memory. 🙌🏆❤️

Probably the most important thing I have ever been involved with. Very proud to be associated with this campaign.
Delighted our work with @BringKidsBackUA has been highly commended at the @PRCA_HQ 2026 #PRWeekAwards. Proud to keep Ukraine’s abducted children in the public eye, raising awareness and reinforcing that their safe return is essential to a just and lasting peace.

Inflation up to 3.5%, borrowing at £24.5bn, debt exceeds £3trn, interest rates expected to rise as are energy bills by 20%. Sterling weaker, as are bond yields and the FTSE. Labour promised much ahead of the general election. They have delivered absolutely none of it. And this is before the Budget. Everyone was warned. Life under Labour.

Planning applications for data centres are popping up all over the country, including in my ward. Constituents are concerned about emissions, ecology and noise pollution, amongst others. A key area of debate centres on whether planning decisions should sit at a national or local level. Currently, under planning law, the principle of development can be established before a detailed design is approved. This is a problem. DCs are eligible to be designated under the NSIP regime. MHCLG should IMO answer the question in all instances as to whether such sites are needed locally, and if yes, then they should meet the test of appropriate design in its entirety, including the scheme.

A smile worth a thousand words: Sky News: Trump is facing pretty difficult midterm elections. Do you think you are being treated as a scapegoat for his own problems? Zelenskyy [smiling]: “This is my answer.” Couldn't imagine a better answer. 👏

Next year will mark 45 years since British forces liberated the Falkland Islands. For some of those veterans who fought in that conflict, this may be one of the last major anniversaries they see. We have confirmed that commemorations will take place on the islands to mark the anniversary, honouring those who paid the ultimate price for the freedom of the Falkland Islanders.

Great to attend the formal opening this afternoon of The Treehouse, @BFTF_Wokingham's purpose-built facility on Thames Valley Park. Jane and the team have created the most amazing space serving over 400 families across Berkshire and the wider Thames Valley area. Very pleased to see the Disability Minister, Sir Stephen Timms accept our invitation to open the facility. We are very lucky to have such an amazing dedicated team here on our doorstep. My team and I at @AtticusPartners will continue to do our part to help identify funding sources, either from government or private philanthropy. If you would like to get involved and help BFTF expand on its amazing mandate, get in touch.

Thanks to the Lib Dems inability to deliver a Local Plan and housing supply, aided and abetted by the Labour government’s national housing target, much of my ward and Wokingham faces the prospect of large-scale housing across Greenbelt and green field sites. This cannot be allowed to happen and something that we as Conservatives will fight tooth and nail over.

Reconciliation between Azerbaijan and Armenia will take time, with people-to-people engagement playing a key role in the peace process, Leon Cook, Founder of Atticus Partners, told AnewZ’s Caucasus Now. Cook said Azerbaijan’s demand for a formal constitutional change in Armenia is understandable from the perspective of border stability, while stressing that greater interaction between the two societies will be crucial for lasting peace. He said visits between the two countries and greater contact could help build mutual understanding after decades of conflict.

Someone listening to this would probably think it was created with AI. This is an actual debate and acts as a microcosm for everything you need to know about the Lib Dems. Utterly ridiculous.
