A simple truth about female founder funding. Female founders don't have an ambition gap ... - https://t.co/mVyhJAC2U7 #GoogleAlerts

Who else is looking forward to watching this? https://t.co/PlIPLAp2Co if the reviews are anything to go by, this could be an emotional watch. John Candy was such a big part of my film history growing up 😎😎😢😢

@JeremyClarkson Incredible achievement. 146 jobs in a year shows what British business can do when it’s backed, not burdened. 👏

But while Farmer’s Dog grows, UKHospitality reports over half of firms are cutting staff due to rising costs.

This isn’t sustainable. Business is the economy.

£150bn in AI potential—but most UK SMEs are still locked out.

Too many schemes. Not enough access.

We don’t need pilot projects. We need one clear door to knock on.

Funding. Advice. Skills. All in one place. Built for SMEs.

UK inflation back up to 3.8%. Energy, water + wages are squeezing SME margins despite a 4% base rate.
👉 Review prices monthly
👉 Tighten cash flow forecasts
👉 Line up flexible funding before you need it

Global evidence on wealth taxes is sobering: France & Sweden scrapped theirs after capital flight + tiny yields. Others followed. Where they survive (Switzerland, Norway, Spain), they’re narrow + carefully designed. UK should focus on pro-growth, fairer alternatives.

[Paul Goodman @MrPaulGoodman]

Stamp Duty may be scrapped — replaced by a new national property tax on homes >£500k.

Biggest risk? Confidence + liquidity. Housing wealth isn’t just personal, it underpins SME borrowing, spending + growth.

UK economy grew 0.3% in Q2—better than expected. SMEs should seize this cautious optimism to strengthen cashflow, reconsider borrowing strategies, and lock in favourable terms while lenders stay competitive. Info only – not advice. #SMEfinance #UKBusiness

@EastMidRailway and now on the same train door between the carriages has broken and the toilets aren’t working.

All for the sum of £300 return ticket.

Have a word with your selves please 🙏

[Paul Goodman @MrPaulGoodman]

@EastMidRailway and to add salt into the wound, because the trolley service is not run by EMR, that service which can bring hot drinks, isn’t allowed to set foot in the 1st class carriage……honestly, you couldn’t make this up

@EastMidRailway how unlucky am I today. Not only can I not have a hot drink or food on the way into London this morning. I catch the exact train back out of London at the end of the day and catch the same train, same issue.
Do I really have to except this service at these prices

[Paul Goodman @MrPaulGoodman]

@EastMidRailway would it be too much to ask for an announcement at the station before boarding the train around issues.

On a train into London, no hot water, not hot drinks or hot food.

If I had known, I & my fellow passengers could have purchased provisions at the station.
