Still blowing a gale outside in North Wales. Dark now but sounds just as it was a few hours ago when I took this video. A few trees down and some of the fence missing, but nothing more I hope. #StormDarragh

What is the point of a Prime Minister whose promises don’t even last a week? #PMQs

@KenSkatesMS Will you help lobby for change too? Four hours standing from London to Holyhead is no joke.

Will new Transport Sec @Heidi_Labour finally deal with Avanti, who've destroyed national rail. No surprises at tons of cancelled northern trains from Euston this pm for avoidable reasons. My train has only 1/2 carriages meaning hundreds stood for 4 hrs on fast moving vehicle!

Highlighting climate change as a fiscal pressure over other more obvious things seems intentional, perhaps to encourage us to accept upcoming tax increases or reductions in public spend. Thoughts? https://t.co/udDT3QVYVZ

Great quote from #socitmpresconf24 "good design can be expensive, but getting a design wrong can be outrageously expensive" How many times do we see people skimping on up front cost and time, to pay for it tenfold in the long run? #gooddesign #UX

"stop putting digital sticking plasters on fundamentally broken service models" Eddie Copeland (LOTI). Having championed this for years within Local Gov, it's refreshing to hear this finally gaining traction. Real difference requires rolling up sleeves and doing hard change work.

Is this what we call corporate sustainability commitments?! Sustainability of printing & framing these for every pret & token attempt to grow herbs in an energy sucking cabinet in 1 store? There's NOTHING sustainable about it. 😣 #Sustainability @pretamanger

An excellent article who's recommendations for a change in journalism could positively change our nation.
🤐🤐 What’s annoying isn’t that the London media exists and argues eloquently for the protection and extension of London’s privileges — it’s that it does those things while pretending to be the national media. My hot opera/media take for @unherd. https://t.co/YwyEIo10Yo

I just listened to a FANTASTIC presentation from @TeamTBBT on the #CostOfLivingCrisis particularly in GM. What you do is so valuable and the research, while sadly unsurprising, is timely and enlightening. 85% physically impacted, 93% mental health affected. 99% anxious/ stressed

Lovely to meet up with familiar faces and new at the annual TeckUK Health & Social Care Industry Dinner this evening. Pity Matthew Gould is ill with covid, but lovely to hear from NHSX CIO, Sonia Patel, in his place.

"Change doesn't come about because it's the right thing...but because we ensure it happens through our actions...must be more than company KPIs...We cannot afford to fail" Thanks Zamzam Ibrahim for speaking this truth at the #GMGreenSummit
