In today's @BelTel_Business Economy Watch I take a look at the retail sector & the high street as ask as the high street has been struggling with sales, will they fare better as Christmas looms? Yes, I did it.... I mentioned Christmas! https://t.co/iU3vwokV4F
Absolutely delighted to be back in my overalls today. The workers at H&W got us here through belief and determination, but the resources and support provided us by The Trade Union movement has been incredible. Never underestimate the power of workers united!

H&W has the biggest dry dock and biggest gantry cranes in Europe. For 14 yrs we have been pioneers in wind and wave technology and construction. Why would the UK consider allowing an asset like this close while claiming to lead the world with its sustainable energy vision?
The decision by @BorisJohnson today to suspend parliament for 5 weeks is crude, anti democratic and an outrageous attempt to thwart the Anti No deal #Brexit majority in the H of C. A no deal Brexit is bad for workers and workers won’t carry the can.
In today's @BelTel_Business Economy Watch @PMacF_NERI argues that while there are likely to be some immediate impacts on Day 1 arising from border delays & turbulence in the financial markets, it would be unwise to expect any sort of ‘big bang’ event. https://t.co/vT3mpWyEVZ
