Just finished watching this programme last night. Angry, frustrated and ashamed that this could happen in the UK. It is a national disgrace. There should be prosecutions for executives involved - in the Post Office and Fujitsu.

It really is an interesting weekend in the media, and I am wondering if the #populist tide in the #UK and #EU is turning, or am I being too optimistic? I pulled my thoughts together in this brief blog 👇 juergenmaier.co.uk/is-the-populis…

An excellent (depressing actually) read of last 14 years politics 👇 In summary: No #vision or plan, just #Austerity and a badly thought through #Brexit, leading to #populism & even more short-termism and decades of underinvestment in key #infrastructure = low #productivity and

Sad for Andy Street who has been a benchmark for excellence as a Mayor for the people he serves. A big loss of a very good person - aligned to a broken & disintegrating party. A big thank you for all you have done for the U.K. & standing of City Region Mayors / Best Wishes

Rather than common sense - it is burying your head in the sand!! We need an inclusive not divisive culture. Progressive organisations recognise this only too well.

Completely agree Juergen. With authority comes responsibility. The people who had the authority are not accepting the responsibility for this disaster.

Good to see that Northern #Transport will be the top priority if we get a The Labour Party Government.

Dropping four places in our global #manufacturing ranking definitely has to do with geopolitical factors, but we also had a choice. The key manufacturing nations above us in this league chose to invest/support their sector with sound industrial strategies. Our Government at the

Pleased the rail connectivity work Andy Burnham & I commissioned has come to fruition. The decision over HS2 north was always wrong, & so I hope this case for a new rail line will be brought to life. The private sector will be key - as they’re already proving with this work.
