My dad led an organization of over 300,000 employees.
When I took on my biggest marketing & events team to date (35 employees) I asked him how the *heck* he did it. Here's what he said and what helped me every day. 🧵
Trying to work out how it is our newly installed @virginmedia broadband is 200mbps next to the router and <20mbps three meters away 🤯 and intermittent wifi in a room above where the router is 😫

Are Brits "too lazy" to do the jobs migrant workers do, like fruit picking? Are farmers "too unpatriotic" to hire them? No and no. Let's start by looking at how the job has changed since Brits used to do it. 1/n ft.com/content/eb5e3bd7-c8bf…

A child’s potential to learn should have no limits, so we're giving families in England who need it most unlimited mobile data with our ‘Lockdown Learning’ support scheme.
We’re also giving away wi-fi vouchers for BT hotspots across the UK and zero-rating educational websites.

As train passenger numbers have slumped, 1 in 5 rail services could be axed next year ‘to prevent the taxpayers bill spiralling out of control’ saving taxpayers £7bn
In light of the above, can someone tell me why we’re not cancelling HS2 which would save taxpayers over £100bn?

Say what you like about Corbyn, but this summary for me encapsulates the challenge we have as a society in a post EU UK.
The real divide in our country is not between those who voted to remain in the EU referendum and those who voted to leave.
It is between the many, who do the work, create the wealth and pay taxes - and the few, who set the rules, reap the rewards and so often dodge taxes.
Gavin Williamson sounds desperate today - repeating the same line over and over and now wheeled out his own children to try to appear relatable #r4today

I worry that the forthcoming lettuce shortage is just the tip of the iceberg.

Honister Pass in the 1920s. This is probably an early edition of the Fred Whitton Challenge.

Its has become very clear to me why the 1918 pandemic was followed by the roaring 20s & why people were dressing up to go just about anywhere

Silliest word of 2020 is “woke”. Orwell would have skewered it as a meaningless sneer designed to stand in the way of thought or discussion. It’s particularly sad to see it adopted by people who are usually careful about language. A very 2020 word.
