The Boca Raton’s Post

Hard to believe that I've now been working long enough to remember the 2003 and 2016 Land Reform Acts-and 2024 will see number three. Land Reform is an emotive and contentious issue for Scotland. Land managers have a vital role to play and the good work they do needs to be recognised. Policy needs to empower good practice as well as highlighting where it could be better. The mood music around land reform has the potential to delay land-based business decision making and stagnate things like letting of land. The new Act must enable land managers to be a success.

The Democratic National Convention is here. Here’s how to watch it

Puerto Rico’s 2024 Plebiscite is a pivotal moment for the island and the U.S. as a whole. This historic vote will shape Puerto Rico's future political status and could redefine national policies. In this video, we break down why the plebiscite matters, the options voters will consider, and how you can get involved. For over 125 years, Puerto Ricans have fought for equality and an end to colonialism. The movement for statehood is a fight for full democracy and equal rights for U.S. citizens on the island. Now is the time to take action. Whether you’re in Puerto Rico or stateside, this plebiscite is a crucial step toward self-determination and a brighter future. https://lnkd.in/dmetfX-S

Sadly there are still some 30% of businesses in Australia operating solely on social media and no stand alone website. This is very risky, especially if you want to grow your business. Building a business on "property" that isn't yours, means that all of your hard work can essentially be taken from you with no notice, no real ability to appeal and no recourse. #webdesignforsmallbusiness #businesssense #youneedawebsite https://lnkd.in/g5SRsbHU

How best to prepare for a brokered convention

QT22 is out now and we're capturing the post-election mood…plus a whole lot more! Highlights include: 🔴 💯 Labour in power: With a landslide victory in the bag and a mandate for meaningful change what does Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer need to do during his government’s first 100 days in power? Matthew Johnson, chair of the Common Sense Policy Group, sat down with Simon Rushworth to suggest a sensible way forward. 🗞 🖊 Now for the North East…: Hot on the heels of Edition 21 asking 100 people to reveal their one wish (in one paragraph) for a new parliamentary term, North East Mayor Kim McGuinness follows up on that regional manifesto by writing exclusively for The QT. It’s a must-read. 🎭 🎾 Culture: Wimbledon’s in full swing and we dispatched The QT’s cultural big hitter, David Whetstone, to run the rule over red hot new play All White Everything But Me as it moves from the Alphabetti Theatre to the Live Theatre. Different stage, same ace show? David delivers his essential verdict. ⛵ Making waves in business: It’s the little known boat manufacturer that’s a big player in international racing. Jane Hall discovers Ovington Boats — tucked away in a remote corner of North Tyneside and establishing the winning link between North Shields and Paris 2024. 🔗 Collaboration: We’re all about working together for the greater good at The QT and after this week’s predictable election blowout, the ever-astute Arlen Pettitt calls for a new era of collaboration across the North East. Wise words that demand action. 🏢 Hall right now: Tony Henderson’s one of our favourite strorytellers and this week he lifts the lid on Northumberland’s 150 town halls — as a new book celebrating a regional institution hits the shelves. From Humshaugh to Hedgeley, this compelling narrative is well worth your time this weekend.
