Solidarity with everyone now back to school - let the overly complicated hair styles, countless emails and general juggle commence! And if the wrong shoes are the only thing that was incorrect today, I’m taking that as a win. Of course the shoes that fit last week don’t fit now.
It’s all about green, taking action and realising that opportunity. You’re going to hear me saying that a lot up to budget and beyond. Even at the weekends with my kids backstage. Side note: Never been quite so muddy on stage before.
Great news. We're in a global race to electrification and with investment like this, the UK can be a leader. Growth puzzle not all about money - it's access to talent, skills, good regulation, policy certainty. UK<>Biz collaboration is key, net zero is how the economy grows.

Incredibly proud of all the work that’s gone into this progress and everyone involved. Organisations going through change should be judged on actions not words so here’s all the action we’re taking.
Last month we set out our plan for cultural reforms and the future direction and purpose of the CBI - as set out in our prospectus and at our EGM.
Take a look at how we're delivering on those commitments one month on, in our scorecard for change here 🔗 https://t.co/ECreImwXFN
If true, this will be hugely welcome to the business community. UK Horizon association is key for CBI members across all sectors and will strengthen the UK's R&D ecosystem. We hope a final agreement can be made next week to give a much needed boost to British innovation.
The face of someone who ran a lesson with 90 kids but I survived. They know more about the climate and politics than I did - they are actually out future. I’ve set them off to be heard loudly, quietly and by telling their grown ups what to do. Sorry about that.
Tmrw I’m talking to my kid’s yr 1 class about getting involved in politics, they’re learning about environment campaigning. I’m going basic, feat. my babe outside No10. I think the youngest crowd I’ve done this for but don’t think I’ll get an easy ride… too basic? No idea.

@lauren_adams_HR That’s how he gets you. Don’t fall for it. I’ve had a decade of him looking generally adorable and then - bam - he’s doing whatever he likes and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Oh sure, you’re cute and asleep now, perhaps you can try that at 4am rather than howling for breakfast as soon as the sun starts coming up? I’m long past the stage of kids waking me up, and have entered the senile cat stage. Help.
@lollipopladyuk To be fair, these are a bit complicated! H is very pleased to have mastered the basic plait; his technique has improved a lot over the last few months!
@DeborahJFraser snacks procured and provided by H on the way back from the school run, I can take no credit! And despite years of hair styles, that on a wiggling 8 year old still takes ages 😂.
Although things not looking so promising elsewhere in the garden. @pmdfoster I don’t think this lone redcurrant is going to get me where I need to be for jams and jellies.
🥳🥳🥳Poisowood is one of my all time faves and loved Demon also. Highly recommend it. She’s right about the power of literature too; reading has always been my way of winding down and entering another world. Though not quite hitting my two books a week over the last few months..
