PR pro by day. Ask me about technology and change in the UK economy. Also love puns. All views my own (unfortunately).

We’ve received a lot of messages in the last 24hrs, sorry I couldn’t reply to everyone but I’m sure you understand why. Thank you for your kindness and support, it means a lot.

Teddy my 7 yr old daughter was at the horrific incident in Southport yesterday.

She went in with her best friend, a friend she was so lucky to have; the smartest, prettiest little angel from the best family you could ever wish to know. It breaks my heart to say her little friend has been taken away from this cruel world. We just pray she is in peace and her family find the strength to get through this.

Her Mum, My Dad an I were one of the first at scene, when only 3 officers present so the media reports of it being armed officers who detained him is not true - it was local, every day police officers. They defied orders and risked their own lives to protect the lives of children from our community.

The things witnessed will live in our memories forever. Those same police officers; who get paid less than a McDonald’s manager, got home, hugged their own kids and got back up this morning to do it all again, are now being attacked on the streets.

No matter what your political views are, they are not the problem. Please, for the sake of the poor victims and their families, STOP THE VIOLENCE.

We will forever be in debt to Leanne, Heidi, Greg, Joel, John and every other hero who helped save so many lives.

💙 ❤️💜

@cllr_aston I’m not a Tory voter but Theresa May has behaved with dignity and grace and sat on the back benches representing her constituents long after her premiership ended. She puts her predecessors and successors to shame.

@GunshipGirl Audit, risk, & prog managers are non techies. Those who can understand human behaviour can come from non tech backgrounds. With AI putting code in everyone's hands - could be a whole new space. Can put you in touch with our security biz at Accenture if you're keen?

Great to hear Computer Weekly (my long-long-long-ago alma mater in full-time journalism) getting the recognition it deserves for its Post Office Horizon scandal coverage.

Trade papers used to be essential in breaking sector news for nationals. A lot gets lost when they wither.

[Natalie de Freitas @Nat_deFreitas]

Very proud of Computer Weekly with this story and the just deserves they get in the ITV series.

The first advice I gave my daughter, when she started working, was to delete the first and last lines of her emails. "Why?" "Because the first and last lines are where you apologise for sending the email. No emails I get from men start or end like that."

[Natalie de Freitas @Nat_deFreitas]

Tech is changing jobs. But we still need tech designed for, and by, women to bring the economic benefits it promises. Great to see @AccentureUK called out for its work in skills-based hiring and gender equality.

@mrjamesob Why bring your consistent bullying of women on Twitter. BBC Laura can’t publicly enter a feud with you…

This reminds me of the time Redknapp tried to tell me he only did those Skechers adverts because he fell in love with the Directors creative vision.
