@immi_croissant @MarkKleinmanSky I would expect the company’s support staff to make the chairman’s travel bookings. If so, this is a cheap shot

@daddyhope On the numbers, CCC has the opportunity to drive change. It needs both canny strategists and whips to ensure sufficient numbers are present in the house when crucial votes take place. Plus, as you say, sufficient influence on committees.

@DavidColtart Hahaha good one, David 😂🤣

Revealed: Next month’s gathering of global business and political leaders at the World Economic Forum’s annual summit in Davos, Switzerland, has been called off because of surging levels of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, delegates have been told today by the organisers.

Revealed: Aristocrat, the Australian gaming group which has agreed to buy London-listed Playtech for £2.1bn, has urged the Takeover Panel to rule whether a group of Asian investors who have built a big stake in the company are acting as a concert party. https://t.co/30tLlATul6

@mredwards … after the invoice has been submitted, politely track its progress through the process. Don’t get emotional. The client’s cogs have no investment in the consequences for you personally. It’s a job for them. They’re more susceptible to allegations that they haven’t done theirs

[Alan Gullan @alan_gullan]

@mredwards Understand how the client’s finance processes work; get to know some key people in accounts payable; work out (with your sponsor) the best routine to get your invoice into the system at the right time. Provide all necessary references, approvals and support …

@m_valle I spent 14 months sorting out what the lenders had inherited. They did well, the debt recovered from 48p to par - fully repaid - and they made another c.18p on the equity. The management team did well, too

@JeremyWarnerUK Failing situations like those need Ringmasters https://t.co/IEPuq53FZj the case study of Carillion illustrates why

I came across these statistics this morning - a comparison between Andy Flower & Sachin Tendulkar . It is a reminder of one of our sporting greats who also was a person who sacrificed his career to speak out against injustice in #Zimbabwe . #ZimbabweanLivesMatter

Chinese coalminers get go ahead to dig in Zimbabwe national park

By coincidence, I am currently reading the excellent book Wankie: Story of a Great Game Reserve, by Ted Davison, appointed the national park’s first ranger in 1928

#ZimbabweanLivesMatter is trending around the world.

If you don’t normally follow developments in Zimbabwe and want to understand what is happening, and why so many Zimbabweans both at home and far beyond are so angry and desperate, here's a thread with some background... 1/

[David Coltart @DavidColtart]

To all of my 310966 followers, excluding the ZANU PF trolls of course, I ask that you use #ZimbabweanLivesMatter in all your Zimbabwean related tweets. Our beloved Nation is being brutalised and we need international condemnation of what is going on. Please act!

[Peter Godwin @petergodwin]

Please help highlight the plight of Zimbabweans with this hashtag. #ZimbabweanLivesMatter

“Once Upon a Time in Iraq” is, quite simply, the best documentary series the BBC has ever made. It is superb on so any levels. I highly recommend it. BBC2 or BBC iPlayer. A documentary series of global significance.

@nick_reeve @British_Airways I paid for new flights (six in my family). Instead of receiving a voucher I have been told I have to use the return legs on future dates. What am I going to do with six single flights SA to the UK?

[Alan Gullan @alan_gullan]

@nick_reeve @British_Airways I was in Cape Town when the crisis broke, for safety reasons I wanted to fly directly back to London rather than as booked via Johannesburg. The website said cancelled flights would be refunded with a voucher.

This picture captures the gratuitous violence of Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government. What threat do these cowering people pose?
