Patrick meant so much to the community in South London. Unbelievably committed. A great loss. Thoughts with Julia and family.

[Jeremy Swain @JeremySwain]

Really great to have done this event at Connection at St Martins Pam. Thanks for being with us and apologies to your poor receptionist who just couldn't get us to leave and showed inordinate patience.

[Pam Orchard @Youngestorchard]

@Literacy_100 delighted to be at the launch of this report into the importance of supporting people with their literacy in adulthood. It really affects people who experience homelessness.

[Jeremy Swain @JeremySwain]

@TonyUddin Tony I'm glad you like the piece and thank you for your very kind words. I follow your thoughtful and balanced Tweets with interest. You're doing a great job there in Tower Hamlets.

'You, as Chief Executive are duty bound to do the things that only the Chief Executive can do’. It is true that I was easily distracted. How a patient, and helpfully direct, coach got me into shape.

Really interesting guest blog for @HomelessLink from @JeremySwain on how coaching transformed his leadership. Well worth a read:

Thanks for your kind comments Jon. A very uplifting event. The three men, Foysol, Gary and Dennis, talking about overcoming poor literacy and dyslexia with such clarity and honesty being the stars, in my mind. The security guard behind Lord Bird looks a bit menacing 😂

[Jon Kuhrt @jonkuhrt]

Good to be at the launch of the Literacy 100 Charter for adults who have been homeless at Connection at St Martins. John Bird, founder of Big Issue, and @JeremySwain were on good form! Well hosted @Youngestorchard!!

Ellie. Many, many congratulations.

[Eleanor Stringer for Wimbledon @eleanorSW19]

Am so grateful that local members have put their faith in me to win this seat back. We desperately need a Labour government, and that means winning in Wimbledon. We've had a Labour MP here before, and we will have a Labour MP here again. (1 / )

We are very excited to be involved in this pioneering project working with @Humankind_UK @KingsCollegeLon @dundeeuni @PneumoWave and @HillcrestScot - more info coming soon, watch this space

If you're sleeping rough, we can help you get tested for Hep C at our centre (or we can refer you to a suitable GP) 💙

Share this, and you could be saving a life.

😂Pam, really you needn't bother. You would have to set yourself some KPI's to become earnest. Bottom left of grid - not urgent, not important.

[Pam Orchard @Youngestorchard]

@JeremySwain I am going off to do my important/urgent grid and set some KPIs on not being earnest....

[Jeremy Swain @JeremySwain]

Thanks Pam - that's kind of you.

[Pam Orchard @Youngestorchard]

I have greatly enjoyed reading this blog by @JeremySwain about coaching - thanks @HomelessLink https://t.co/ejbhoSLpL4

[Jeremy Swain @JeremySwain]

@dwaynamics Lorraine this is great to see. You must be very proud of Joshua and good luck to him at Dover Athletic. I remember the big contribution you made back-in-the-day at Thames Reach. All the best with your very impressive work.

[Jeremy Swain @JeremySwain]

@CEOsimonscot Thanks for your kind words Lorraine.

[Jeremy Swain @JeremySwain]

@jonkuhrt @Horitz You're extremely kind Jon. Thanks.

[Jeremy Swain @JeremySwain]

@JoBrdshw Really great stuff Jo I am a proud great-uncle. Sorry to hear that you've been hit by Covid again and can't be there. Rest up.

@Youngestorchard on the fiddle.

[Pam Orchard @Youngestorchard]

Here is a rare sighting of me playing the fiddle. What a lovely day - thanks Fourth Reserve. Hooray for trees - particularly urban ones.

Hi Matt. I'm interested in your comments as data on https://t.co/YH8O44gbWI indicates that the group wanting to work from home most are over 55s & 16-24 Yr olds the group most keen on working in the office full time. Could you link me with the data you have that contradicts this?
