Well thank heavens for that - we can all sleep well now!

Congratulations indeed. As you say, of opportunities and things to look forward to.....despite strange Covid moments.

St Pancras Eurostar.....empty at 8am and at 2pm. What really happens - or doesn’t happen - to business if international travel virtually disappears? Does it to Zoom? Or do good initiatives not go ahead? Is anyone able to measure this so we can work out what to do about it?

Good luck, Tony. Best wishes in representing the needs of all UK business, with extra wishes for representing #SMEs

Andy Murray’s Davis Cup winning match point is one of the best and most emblematic decisive points of all time - determined, intelligent, canny and just epically tough-minded.....off a backhand that can fire winners, drop shot, slice and all of those plus a topspin lob!

Listening to ⁦Mariana Mazzucato⁩ talking about her Mission Economy thinking ⁦⁩ is pretty inspiring ⁦LSE Events⁩

Gareth Southgate for Prime Minister!

Oh no. I am so sorry.

Listening to a panel on challenges faced by #scaleup’s - “You can’t scale a business behind barriers”. At Oxford Innovation Advice bringing down business barriers is what we do best - finance, advice and space to innovate.

My piece on the levelling up white paper - with new headline. (With apologies for the original one, was trying to get at something but misfired, that was all me.) manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m…

Well, obviously it should be held by someone with ethical standards low enough to stay in the job

One of the great speeches in that parliament

This is the worst MOTD ever. Never have commentators, pundits as studio discussion seemed so valuable.

I think Roland-Garros should feel ashamed that its ticketing and audience processes lead to such an empty stadium for Svitolina-Rybakina and other 11am women’s matches. A great shame for these great players!
