The way I see it - these 3 have had the drive, persistence, courage, skill, grit, ability to represent their country. They have had the bravery to walk up and take a penalty - more than any f***ing idiot who abuses them could dream about. Applaud their achievement bloody awesome

Finally catching up with #HandforthParishCouncil. Any woman with experience of being bullied, harangued & undermined by men in the political sphere will relate to & applaud the wonderful #JACKIEWEAVER

Thanks to Cumbria LEP for inviting me to take part in a virtual fireside chat with @BarryLeahey this morning. Always good to hear his thoughts on innovation and leadership and to share ideas. Would love to hear what people thought?
It was a really insightful & supportive conversation with @BarryLeahey & @EmmaMPorter at today's 'How Leaders Can Innovate in a Remote Environment' discussion. Great to hear the thoughts of business leaders - thanks to all those who attended.
Thanks to BPIC for asking me. It was great.
Today our Construction MD, Emma Porter, will be a Mentor at a Power Mentoring Event held by BPIC Network.

Yes, I am furious and I don’t mind admitting it. I cannot bear to see young people from working class backgrounds shafted on an industrial scale by an elitist education system more concerned with grade inflation than fairness and social mobility. #LevellingDown
Andy Burnham is absolutely furious about the #examshambles.
On what grounds can you say that a young person who goes to a 6th form college in Greater Manchester gets different treatment from somebody who goes to a private school in Oxfordshire.. it's simply wrong

We’re delighted to announce we’re launching a one of a kind, virtual work experience programme - the One of Ten Story Summer School. Applications are open from Monday 20th July and we'll be sharing more information on how to apply soon.
One of the things I’ve enjoyed about everyone working at home is how it is now acceptable and normal to have your children interrupt meetings sometimes (or often for me). Before this we almost had to pretend they didn’t exist. Now we wave, say hi, and keep going.
"Mummy, what's his name?"
The charming moment an expert's daughter interrupts her live on TV 🦄

Half way through my talk this morning in front of a lot of people I admire and respect, my three year old climbed on my knee, gave me a cuddle and peed his pants. The realities of working from home. 😳🤷♀️ #workingfromhome #workingmum

She is such a great example of leadership. Calm, empathetic, decisive, strong and kind. All leaders can learn a lot from Jacinda Ardern
