@My_Green_Lab Must confess, I looked around for some time to identify someone who deserved both the Net Zero Pioneer 'tag' and to lead the innovation section of the @UKSPA mag. A most gracious and informative interviewee ... even if my use of 'Northern English' did occasionally puzzle him. 😅

@guyshrubsole @BBCr4today @theresecoffey Interesting programme, but ... a waste of time tagging Ms C. Her account is purely for show. TBF, her bio does inform passers-by that she will not reply. 🙃

@Journojulz @TheIanHalstead @_RP_77 @DrRosena @Keir_Starmer Wadsworth - obv.

[Ian Halstead @IanHalstead10]

@Journojulz @TheIanHalstead @_RP_77 @DrRosena @Keir_Starmer I missed your response re the persecution of - and vile accusations made against - Marc Wardworth by a rag-tag mob of centrist MSM commentators and Labour MPs. It isn't *bickering* to falsely accuse someone of AS, as so many Labour politicians did of Corbyn.

[Ian Halstead @IanHalstead10]

@Journojulz @TheIanHalstead @_RP_77 @DrRosena @Keir_Starmer For *far-fetched*, do explain how the lifelong anti-racist Marc Wadsworth was hounded by centrist MPs (Phillips and the usual suspects), accused of being AS and even kicked out of the Lab Party for merely pointing out that Ms Smeeth was working with the Torygraph against Corbyn?

In a 72-page mag, the final feature has to be powerful and forward-looking. Glenn Crocker of @PioneerGrp stepped up to the editorial plate with an overview of UK life sciences, and a reminder to @UKSPA members that data is always the key to understanding.

As a football pundit, your main job is to laugh far too hard at things that really aren't that funny.

@Dwarfio @Wolves @purcey I sympathise with his keyboard(s) given those upper arms. The poor things must disintegrate into dust every three months.

@mikejderbyshire - head of planning at @Bidwells - explained how the centre of Cambridge had been transformed, thanks not least to the vision of the late Lord Rogers and the innovative business model of Brookgate.

Great to talk to the (very) well-informed Steven Lang of @Savills about the current growth and future prospects of the UK's life sciences' sector, who says 2023 will be the year of pre-lets. #LifeSciences

Never easy finding time for interviews when you're the CEO of a start-up, so 👍to @M_Karlikowska for talking about the intriguing background to @Cytecom The latest successful spin-out from @warwickuni

@TeeSpirit As neither the suit or the tie are the same colour, the question should be: "What absolute clown posed such a fatuous question?"🙃

[Ian Halstead @IanHalstead10]

The new issue of the @UKSPA magazine (Breakthrough) has touched down, and who better to lead off the Advocacy section than Seamus O'Neill of the @The_NHSA making the case for a life sciences super-cluster in Northern England.

@Metro_Ents Spending Sunday lunch with his dad, down their local pub on the rural outskirts of Wolverhampton, was indeed one of his favourite things.

@pipdunn @RMTunion @TSSAunion @ASLEFunion @RAIL "I support trade unions who are 'strong and supportive', but not when they see no other option but to take action to leverage their strength in support of their members," isn't really the *hot take* you might think.
