Very saddened to learn today oof the passing of Ismail Kadare, one of Albania’s greatest modern writers. I have enjoyed reading his books immensely and they have taught me a great deal about Albania’s culture, historic challenges and people. My thoughts are with his family.

ICYMI: Zelensky on US warnings about a Russian invasion. “You can say a million times, ‘Listen, there may be an invasion.’ Ok — will you give us planes? Will you give us air defenses? ‘Well, you’re not in NATO.’ Oh, ok, then what are we talking about?” washingtonpost.com/national-…

What a fitting tribute for @AlhajiSulle. Geordie was Chief PT Buster for @Airbornegunners when I did Pre-Para. Innovative and inspirational, way ahead of his time and a top bloke to boot. ‘Skeates - are you leaning on that wall? 50 press ups, down!’ Happy days...
41 years’ of service have been recognised as Lt Col (Retd) Sulle Alhaji inspected the troop named after him at the Army Training Centre Pirbright. Alhaji Troop were on parade for the first time as they passed out from recruit training. Full story at: ow.ly/4upV50EjGqm

Great work, @JurdNeil One of the best books on leadership I have read in a long while - and I’ve read a few over the years! A companion for all of us regardless of where we are in the leadership journey. #ValuesandStandards #LeadershipDevelopment
