@MartinSLewis Ever thought about a career in politics? Looks like you’ve got a good shot at the top job if you “do you”

[Sarah Hurrell @hurrelluk]

Investment in #digital transformation, #DataScience techniques & paperless comms are overdue! What must this untargeted mailshot have cost to create paper to recycle!? Whilst #NFU have @NFUtweets , #DepartmentforEnvironment Food & Rural Affairs aren’t even active on Twitter

[Sarah Hurrell @hurrelluk]

Got this mail drop today. TWICE. We don’t have a farm or pets. Not registered for rel interest groups. Very old database used - letters sent to 2xflats at our address (no addressees) a decade after our property was registered as 1 house. Invest in better use of marketing budgets!

@bryanglick @CarrotyD Thanks for sharing, emphasises benefits of data transparency. %spend with SMEs TREND is disappointing. Needs +ve action by ALL. Note: UK products+prices are key. It’s tough to navigate policy+procurement minefields. Those empowered to make purchasing decisions have tight budgets

@Emm_McG Enjoy the sunshine & the precious time with your son - they grow up soooo fast!

@chagarwa @philippa_manley @thommeread My iPad became a family device as I wasn’t using it enough. Conversely, I’m probably too dependent on my Remarkable. For about two minutes one morning I couldn’t find the pen - thought I’d lost it on my way home the day before - I hadn’t - the relief was enormous!

[Sarah Hurrell @hurrelluk]

@thommeread My husband pre bought one for me, before they were released, as a birthday present. He’d spent his gadget fund & couldn’t justify buying himself one. I think he was hoping I might not use it & he’d get it. I absolutely loved it. So he ordered a me a new one & he got the old one!

As I wear glasses for distance... My morning commute decision is now “which 2 of 3 do I want to do: wear a mask, breath or read the train boards?”

[Sarah Hurrell @hurrelluk]

@shjfrench Congratulations!!

The pandemic is having a disproportionate impact on working women, particularly those already disadvantaged. https://t.co/vkygK1BwBh

[Sarah Hurrell @hurrelluk]

You’d think it’d be hard to create a government poster that manages to be soo archaic they insult the whole UK population... but whomever was responsible for this has somehow managed it!! Suffragettes & men helping with childcare or the home obviously not relevant!

@Andy42Ward @ucas_online Having seen the bizarre anachronisms (does anyone know a “typist”?) & ops options being related to building railways...had to experiment. My search on “information”, “technology” & “cloud” resulted in very unladylike snorts. I went with “Director (computing)”- closest I could get

[Sarah Hurrell @hurrelluk]

10mins of time warp with UCAS form matching my job title... no COO, executive (unless CEO), ops director. Nothing with digital except digital cartographer or printer, but it’s ok if you are a fax engineer, ribbon cutter, shoe interlacer or 1 of c20 typist options! @ucas_online

[Sarah Hurrell @hurrelluk]

@HMRCgovuk I’ve have 2 SIMs & have had 3 texts (2 variants, 2 different toll numbers but similar range) across them... as this is fraud, surely the toll numbers can be blocked to prevent vulnerable people being scammed?

[Sarah Hurrell @hurrelluk]

Awesome opportunity to work with a great bunch of people

[Tom Read @thommeread]

We are looking for an interim Head of Digital at @Justice_Digital to cover maternity leave. An amazing opportunity to make a real difference to the most vulnerable people in society. Pls RT!

@bryanglick @GOVUKverify I really want a dislike button!

[Sarah Hurrell @hurrelluk]

When will @BorisJohnson correlate lockdown impact on death rate, social injustice & devastation? Where are the unskewed stats on its impact on mental health, suicide rates & food bank use? These are a far bigger risk than COVID to the majority of citizens https://t.co/Ii216koe4l

[Sarah Hurrell @hurrelluk]

Listened to @AlexandraBarke1 #BeMorePirate speak yesterday. Inspiring & effective positive change. Looking forward to reading the new book. (@dommonkhouse : Thanks for a great line up of speakers... I’ll enjoy ruminating over my notes for weeks!).

[Sarah Hurrell @hurrelluk]

I just signed the petition calling on @GOVUK to make sure no child in the UK goes hungry. will you sign too? https://t.co/ah4tR70w5m via @38_degrees
