Seven companies are Arconic, Kingspan, Exova (including Warrington Fire), Harley Facades, Rydon, Studio E and the entirety of the Saint Gobain group - which is massive in size:

A @BritishVogue photoshoot and feature is a pinch yourself moment! (One of the very few things I’ve done that has impressed my 16 year old daughter!)

Thanks to @aliceTTimes for a lovely interview and Charlotte Hadden for the great photos.

Since the Grenfell Tower, 419 purpose-built blocks of flats have been emptied of residents after a prohibition notice from the fire service.

Often this process is traumatic (and expensive) for those involved.

Could we do it better?

Residents of a tower block in south London are being told to leave their homes for about two years after serious defects were uncovered just three years after it opened.

Hannah Hampton has no depth perception. She had multiple operations on her eyes before she was 5 years old. She was told she’d never play professional sport. What she’s just done defies description, medical science, anything else you can name. A phenomenal human being. 🥲

@JoelMcMaster @SophieIbberson @SundayShare10 @DrErinHenderson I think the need for fun & mates above all else really kicks in at u13. A lot of players switch teams to be with mates. Boys and girls. Motivations change from young child to teen to adult

@IanBrowring2 @Teamgrassroots_ I’ve been coaching 7 years. Never had any of this. Occasional loud parent. That’s it. I can not imagine or fathom a parent being like that. My daughter age 14 would pull rank too

[Jane Carroll @JFCCB13]

@Teamgrassroots_ I had an oppo cancel two u13 friendly matches the night before because the line marking wasn’t strai

In the new Cabinet… Parrs Wood High School in Didsbury, Manchester, appears to be Labour’s equivalent of Eton… (it was threatened with closure when my sister was there in the 80s… and then rebuilding was only funded by selling the playing fields to a ten pin bowling alley…

[Lucy Powell MP @LucyMPowell]

Yes two of us in the Cabinet went to the same comprehensive school in Manchester - pretty amazing really.

I’m currently a parent there too!

that trent penalty reminded me of this

[Grassroots @Teamgrassroots_]

Disappointed when we still see adverts for “experienced 6/7 year olds wanted for teams”

As a general rule 6 and 7 year olds still believe in Santa Claus and the Easter bunny.

So they probably haven’t got a 7 year professional playing CV they can produce.
