@Schiphol I wish it said 7 mins. It has been 90mins and I’m about to miss my flight still queuing. Have told several airport staff. They all say tough.

@DraxGroup @RichardGwilliam @The_NP11 @NP_Partnership @YNYLEP I thought @RichardGwilliam was one of the best speakers of the day and share his ambition to get the north working together. Cumbria needs to be talking about it’s role in clean energy just as much

The way I see it - these 3 have had the drive, persistence, courage, skill, grit, ability to represent their country. They have had the bravery to walk up and take a penalty - more than any f***ing idiot who abuses them could dream about. Applaud their achievement bloody awesome

[Angela Jones @jones_ang]

It has been an incredible team effort to get to this milestone. The collaboration and strong partnership working will continue through to delivery and beyond #BorderlandsGrowthDeal #collaboration #inclusivegrowth #Cumbria

@CarlisleCC @DiscoverCarlisl @cumbrialep @CarlislePartner @CumbriaCC Great news for our city. Looking forward to next steps!

@devisridhar I agree, it’s hard to be a woman on Twitter. One of the reasons I admire you so much is that you don’t let this sort of nonsense stop you from sharing your knowledge. The problem is theirs, not yours.

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

Finally catching up with #HandforthParishCouncil. Any woman with experience of being bullied, harangued & undermined by men in the political sphere will relate to & applaud the wonderful #JACKIEWEAVER

[Emma Porter @EmmaMPorter]

@devisridhar Yeah, it does feel that way. I am deterred from politics and from Twitter by the level of abuse women in the public eye get. The sheer amount of it is overwhelming

[Emma Porter @EmmaMPorter]

@lendwithcare I joined after seeing a contact talking about it on LinkedIn

@tunny2311 @CumbriaDPH You’re embarrassing yourself

[Emma Porter @EmmaMPorter]

@CumbriaDPH Thanks for providing this update Colin. Whether schools open or not, this level of uncertainty makes a tough situation even tougher and makes it very difficult for parents and businesses to plan. Think you’re doing an excellent job under the circumstances.

@timfarron I see what you did there but, Tim, you’re assuming a pro-Brexit MP is capable of rational thought and strong decision making 😬🤷‍♀️

@CumbriaDeaf @CSHowsley @cumbrialep @BarryLeahey Thank you, glad you found it useful

[Emma Porter @EmmaMPorter]

Thanks to Cumbria LEP for inviting me to take part in a virtual fireside chat with @BarryLeahey this morning. Always good to hear his thoughts on innovation and leadership and to share ideas. Would love to hear what people thought?

[Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership @cumbrialep]

It was a really insightful & supportive conversation with @BarryLeahey & @EmmaMPorter at today's 'How Leaders Can Innovate in a Remote Environment' discussion. Great to hear the thoughts of business leaders - thanks to all those who attended.
