En rangeant mon bureau je retrouve une touchante lettre d'une ancienne étudiante d'@ISAE_officiel 🥰 Je n'arriverai jamais à être insensible à ces témoignages. 😳 Pas vous? Retour dans ma boîte à souvenir de mes 3 passionnantes années à l'ISAE-SUPAERO.🫶🛩🛰🚀

Lewis Hamilton wins the British Grand Prix! 🇬🇧 What a great drive from Lewis who achieves his first win since 2021! Honorary member Max Verstappen takes second place whilst Lando Norris who showed strong pace in the wet whilst leading, on a drying track finishes third.

Defence secretary Grant Shapps has claimed that the Labour party controls the House of Lords and has a majority there. This is incorrect. No party has an overall majority and there are considerably more Conservative peers than Labour. https://t.co/7E5c8lEz2F

“There were a number of us that Tony and Gordon brought in from outside of politics to try and contribute and I think that's going to be necessary for any future governments." My interview with @lorddrayson 👇
🌹 Labour peer Lord Paul Drayson, one of New Labour's ‘GOATs’, has said that if elected, a Labour government should emulate the model of a 'Government of All Talents' https://t.co/eXeIx2ANFW

This is why we need an Industrial Strategy for the UK that includes life sciences…and a government that understands that.

Really enjoyed being back with the @BIA_UK for their #LifeScienceLeaders Summit yesterday discussing what a Labour Government would mean for the life sciences industry- a major driver of growth, innovation and better health, built on our strong science base.
Our #LifeScienceLeaders Summit has now come to a close... This morning we heard from some fantastic panel speakers, discussing everything from global finance for biotech, to investor perspectives on #diversity, to what a #labour government would mean for our sector!

Just listened to this podcast by the QCA @quotedcompanies on what needs to be done to turn around the decline in the environment for UK public companies. Really excellent and well worth listening to.

Le Mans 24 Hours: great to see all the race cars running on sustainable biofuel now
bbc.co.uk
The 100th anniversary of the first edition of the Le Mans 24 Hour race tapped into the event's glorious past. What it might mean for the next 100 years of motoring is just as profound.
