Solidarity with everyone now back to school - let the overly complicated hair styles, countless emails and general juggle commence! And if the wrong shoes are the only thing that was incorrect today, I’m taking that as a win. Of course the shoes that fit last week don’t fit now.

It’s all about green, taking action and realising that opportunity. You’re going to hear me saying that a lot up to budget and beyond. Even at the weekends with my kids backstage. Side note: Never been quite so muddy on stage before.

Great news. We're in a global race to electrification and with investment like this, the UK can be a leader. Growth puzzle not all about money - it's access to talent, skills, good regulation, policy certainty. UK<>Biz collaboration is key, net zero is how the economy grows.

Incredibly proud of all the work that’s gone into this progress and everyone involved. Organisations going through change should be judged on actions not words so here’s all the action we’re taking.

Last month we set out our plan for cultural reforms and the future direction and purpose of the CBI - as set out in our prospectus and at our EGM. Take a look at how we're delivering on those commitments one month on, in our scorecard for change here 🔗 fal.cn/3zSNo

If true, this will be hugely welcome to the business community. UK Horizon association is key for CBI members across all sectors and will strengthen the UK's R&D ecosystem. We hope a final agreement can be made next week to give a much needed boost to British innovation.

The face of someone who ran a lesson with 90 kids but I survived. They know more about the climate and politics than I did - they are actually out future. I’ve set them off to be heard loudly, quietly and by telling their grown ups what to do. Sorry about that.
Tmrw I’m talking to my kid’s yr 1 class about getting involved in politics, they’re learning about environment campaigning. I’m going basic, feat. my babe outside No10. I think the youngest crowd I’ve done this for but don’t think I’ll get an easy ride… too basic? No idea.

@AlexGAThomas what are you up to at lunch time tomorrow? Just wondering for no reason.

Oh sure, you’re cute and asleep now, perhaps you can try that at 4am rather than howling for breakfast as soon as the sun starts coming up? I’m long past the stage of kids waking me up, and have entered the senile cat stage. Help.

I had not factored in a full fishtail braid into my morning jobs. Apologies to those of you who have to see me in 15 mins.

Although things not looking so promising elsewhere in the garden. @pmdfoster I don’t think this lone redcurrant is going to get me where I need to be for jams and jellies.

🥳🥳🥳Poisowood is one of my all time faves and loved Demon also. Highly recommend it. She’s right about the power of literature too; reading has always been my way of winding down and entering another world. Though not quite hitting my two books a week over the last few months..
'Literature is how we make our hearts grow bigger. And that's how we change the world' The moment Barbara Kingsolver became the first person to win the Women's Prize TWICE 👑👑

I would have loved this from the @SocialMobilityF when first applying for jobs. As a first generation immigrant, the only help we had was whichever older cousin/sibling had a go first, then you help out the ones who come after. If you can spare some time: tinyurl.com/mryru6mt

Congratulations to @EdConwaySky on the launch of his book, I’m a proud owner. Putting down another read of LOTR to get stuck into what he’s promised is a funny and educational look into the materials that make or break our economy and climate. Can’t wait to laugh and learn.

Great to speak to the @CommonsBTC today on our programme of change and how we are speaking for biz on the issues that matter to our society and economy. Thanks to all the colleagues and members who have got us here and to @darrenpjones and the committee for having us.
