Finished my first year as a UK Athletics Track & Field Official and loved every minute. Big thanks to the amazing volunteers at HWAC and SCAA from championship performances to helping young athletes find their potential, it’s been hugely rewarding. 🏃♀️🏃♂️

The Green Book is essential for making smarter, fairer public investment decisions. It brings clarity, accountability and democractic rigour for people, places and the planet.

On Father’s Day, 15 June, I’ll be cycling from London to Brighton for the BHF. Thanks to everyone who’s donated so far. If you’ve been meaning to support but haven’t yet, 👉 https://t.co/KiYliMTb6k Thanks again for all your generosity. See you at the beach!

Focussing London's Opportunity Areas in the New London Plan can help to delivery more but challenges await.

🚴‍♂️ 37 days to go until I ride London to Brighton for @TheBHF in memory of my mum. Every mile supports life-saving heart research.

AI could transform UK transport but tech alone won’t cut it. The real blockers: siloed data, outdated governance, lack of trust & skills. We need national coordination, not isolated pilots. AI needs leadership.

Great afternoon at Connected Places Catapult, hearing from some truly impressive innovators in rail station technology. Exciting to see how stations can become smarter and more inclusive. https://t.co/UrVCwUK9mx

Nationalising Scunthorpe’s blast furnaces may save jobs today. But it locks the UK into an outdated model rather than a forward looking Industrial Strategy. A missed opportunity to the challenge of sustaining domestic steel production.

Why simple US export exposure of the UK's cities and regions may not tell the whole story of the potential impacts of tariffs. https://t.co/sTZ94sKzPW

https://t.co/agyd7XcFOy I’m cycling from London to Brighton again in memory of my wonderful mum, who we lost far too soon. If you’re able to donate, however big or small, it would mean the world. Your support will help BHF continue their vital work. Thank you so much. Andy

https://t.co/r0JUjnS2Lr We need to move beyond the Minimum Viable Product approach, which often benefits few stakeholders. Greater public value comes from engaging multiple stakeholders, focusing on the long term and leveraging innovation and problem-solving.

My mother died suddenly of congestive cardiac failure in July 2021 so I'm doing the London to Brighton bike ride on 18 June. I'll be raising money for the British Heart Foundation and grateful for any support you would like to provide. The BHF has helped…https://t.co/nbK6duxHO5
