Really enjoyed delivering a workshop to third year business students at @ManMetUni all about my business, my clients, social value and the journey I took to get me here! Hope I provided some inspiration for the next generation of social entrepreneurs

This is how fascism spreads. Tell lies, repeat them over and over, make people fearful of something that doesn't exist, and then claim that you are the only way of preventing these non-existent horrors. Sickening that politicians should behave like this.

Couldn’t agree more. Braverman’s speech is sickening- I genuinely can’t believe the divisive, hypocritical garbage that is being spouted by the so called leaders of our country.

Utterly repulsive speech by Suella Braverman referring to a "hurricane" of migration, as her dehumanising rhetoric plumbs new depths. The hurricane I'd like to see is one which sweeps her culture war-stoking, dog-whistling, hard-right party from office. #CPC23

The Bolton 574 bus my daughter and her friends catch to school hasn’t turned up once since the start of term, leaving them unable to get there on time without the help of parents who also have places to be. @OfficialTfGM @AndyBurnhamGM when will this problem be resolved?

The irony - what humanity looks like 2023!
Rescue teams of a tourist submersible carrying 4 millionaire and 1 billionaire went missing during a dive to the wreck of the Titanic, and a rescue teams of a refugee boat carrying 800 poor people looking for a better life for their children.

Called in to say hi to The Coffee Box team at the #SmithillsEstate and couldn’t resist a coffee and a stint on the laptop on the benches up here. We have WiFi and a beautiful view if you fancy a change of scenery! @WoodlandTrust

Had an awesome day showing @LadybridgeHigh Year 8 learners around the #SmithillsEstate - discussing the past, present and future of this beautiful place. So proud to be a governor of a school who aren’t afraid to do things differently to inspire and engage their learners.
