@stevemagness @rhughesjones Interesting thread. Agree that
most business leaders aren’t athletes but many are seduced by the idea of being an athlete. The business as sport narrative is too simplistic. It might serve to motivate but how many athletes hire the CEO of Target to help win them a gold medal?

After 4 years, finally it’s done. Can we now start the process of getting back in?

In the first 10 minutes ⁦@devisridhar⁩ makes more sense of Covid & the UK response than the government have in 10 months. Well worth a listen https://t.co/RyOpXjIChM

And so the annual hunt for the end of the sellotape begins...

And I would’ve gotten away with it, if it wasn’t for you pesky voters

[Richard Marriott @marriottrich]

What about a grand finale in the Crystal Dome to settle it, candidate that grabs the most ballot papers wins

[Richard Marriott @marriottrich]

As much as we expected this from He Who Shall Not Be Named, it is still quite staggering to see it play out, filing a lawsuit to stop counting, I mean wtf??? 😳

Ok so donating money & meals won’t tackle the causes of poverty but it helps hungry kids right now. Rehashing old promises of investment & talking in vague terms about strategy does nothing but demonstrate how out of touch this government is

So here we are again 😔 We can subsidise eating out but not school meals for those most in need

Sensible and requires a quick decision. Two reasons why it probably won’t happen 😔. Unfortunately my MP doesn’t have a twitter account to tag #maketheUturn

There’s a lot of kids building Lego in the village @idlesband

Donald Trump has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. I’ll leave that one with you

Only 14% of our rivers meet EU quality standards. But don’t worry, now we’ve left the EU we can just lower the standards. Et voila, clean rivers! https://t.co/FYPPMxJ90a

Which of course must be weighed against the massive disadvantage they already face in a post Covid and Brexit economy

[Richard Marriott @marriottrich]

Wow thanks Gav. I’m sure pupils are full of confidence in the appeals process

[The Guardian @guardian]

Schools can appeal A-level and GCSE grades for free, says Gavin Williamson https://t.co/hsTp58Rxag

[Richard Marriott @marriottrich]

There is another way @GavinWilliamson, use predicted grades. What’s the worst that could happen? Some pupils actually gain a small advantage & end up studying the course they want at the university they want? Perish the thought

Obesity is a cause of early death FULL STOP. It’s a contributory factor in 30k deaths every year in the UK. Why does Boris only see the case for action now it’s linked to increased Covid deaths? https://t.co/i4cfc2larq

[Richard Marriott @marriottrich]

Rather than spending millions of pounds trying to expose obscure loopholes in legislation and millions more on social responsibility schemes and “investing” in communities, how about just paying your tax? https://t.co/H73isaKiX7

@jopkins @DavidCCrisp @3djamie @ChemBros @GrooveArmada Oh and Dean from Gwent hiding from the police under our tarp

@jopkins @DavidCCrisp @3djamie @ChemBros @GrooveArmada I remember a similar dance haze in front of the Jazz World stage listening to Orbital. Could have been 99?
