Come on @hmtreasury play straight with #smallbiz and give them all something simple & sustaining. They are families that generate employment & character in our communities.
Saw #Gulliver at #Edfringe2022 this morning and it is truly tremendous. Great acting, wonderful characters, super singing & adorable puppets. Small venue, clever staging. A great start to another day here. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just done an interview on @BBCr4today. calling for Sunak, Truss & Johnson to urgently meet (they are part of same party after all) to come up with an action plan to urgently intervene in the disastrous predicted 77% energy price cap due Oct

@BBCWomansHour the system must change and accepting that workplaces must be flexible for both women & men so childcare is shared. Step 1, increase paternity leave & pay. That would be a significant sign that employers back this.
@BBCWomensHour one of the issues around flexible working is that we the business don’t have enough staff to cover. It would mean employing another person with all the costs attached.
@lemnsissay Thankyou Lemn, didn’t expect to see you at RAH this evening. Wonderful composition & great words. Kanneh Masons amazing as usual with great band and MMorpugo delightful. EM Williams new to us too. Superb event. Hope you had loads of fun putting it together.

@BBCWomansHour@BBCRadio4 This is a time for men’s rights to flexible working to come into its own. Sharing between couples could make a massive difference. Their employers need to step up.
@GalvaniseBH Any idea how many are on the streets now? Seems like a few of the old hands are out begging again. One guy sleeping at the end of our street. Les. Says he didn’t like the sheltered accommodation because of the others being a nuisance.
