The people that are the most ‘tolerant’ of society seem to be the most intolerant if you disagree with their political views. I most likely won’t vote for Reform or any other party in the next election because I’m yet to see one politician that grasps basic economics. But I do know that if your argument is “ha, you can’t afford to go to University!”, then you’re probably not as virtuous as you think you are.

When you become a dad, your definition of “success” completely changes. If you’d have asked me 12 months ago, salary and titles mattered a lot to me. Now all I really want is to give my family a good life. My kids won’t care if I was a “thought leader”. But they will remember whether I was present and whether they felt loved. That doesn’t mean my work ethic will drop. I still want to work hard and care deeply about what I do. If anything, that matters more now as I want to be a good role model. It just means that my sense of self-worth isn’t tied to my career, pay bands or titles anymore. P.S. I realise I look like I’m having way more fun than my son in this photo.
