An absol privilege to be involved in Leicester College’s BA Profess Industries in Creative Industries. 12 weeks ago @LabLeicester & @Leetomes asked students whether creativity can save a city. Today’s 6 proposals to transform Leicester we will pitch to @CityMayorLeic

One of the Lab’s priorities next year will be encouraging Leicester folk to think about what sort of High Street they want and need in the future. We have a few projects lined up.

When do the votes of no confidence start?

[Eric D @DalbidEU]

The whole world is looking on at the self-destruction of a nation. We are in absolutely no position to get any global ‘trade deals’ where it might be ‘win-win’. None. Morally bankrupt. Financially bankrupt. Visionary bankrupt. Honesty bankrupt. Rationally bankrupt. #Brexit

Nice this @DMULGRU @thecityspeaker

[TPXimpact | B Corp™ @TPXimpact]

We have an opportunity to set up a new model for the public sector. Using entrepreneurial approaches, we can ideate, create and build technology-driven, sustainable services that remain in public hands.

We call this the Institute of Impossible Ideas.

Great insight into Leicester’s hidden culture

[HiddenCultureLeicester @LeicesterHidden]

A light, lunchtime read in which I detail my experience of being a flâneuse in Leicester. The first of a series of blogs exploring walking methods and their usefulness during a pandemic.

Cohousing and eating together are the core components of creating community spirit. We need to rethink the urban model of single unit apartment blocks that create isolation. ⁦@thecityspeaker⁩ ⁦@InnoHouse1⁩ https://t.co/UoBfrMPS0o

Might need a bit more media training Alok

[BBC Breakfast @BBCBreakfast]

“The point the PM was making was that nobody at the time knew what the correct procedures were”
On #BBCBreakfast Business Secretary Alok Sharma defends Boris Johnson, who said yesterday that some care homes "didn't really follow the procedures"

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

One of the problems with Johnson’s character in my view is he seems incapable of taking responsibility, either personally or as a leader, for anything. The casual shifting of blame seems second nature - he can’t stop himself. https://t.co/MyiPJldJZr
