There are few moments in history as profound as the passing of a long reigning monarch. Here, the second Elizabethan age ends. One of my generation’s constants. As an Old Savilian of QEGS, an historian, a politico, Britain will never be the same again. GSTK.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II who dedicated her life to the service of the nation and the Commonwealth

Hero. Keep on fun running @JasminKParis, it's basically just an American Spine right?!

[Keith @keithdunn]

Jasmin Paris @JasminKParis was overheard at the fire tower saying Fun Run doesn’t seem like the right word for it. #BM100

Great to get our M5 joint paper out into the wild... to build towards the future, manufacturing matters. #levellingup #netzero #globalbritain

[SMMT @SMMT]

Success of UK’s manufacturing sector will be central to Gov’s ability to deliver on its national ambitions to level up the whole country, reach #NetZero by 2050 & become a global science super-power

Our latest report & roadmap is out in the wild. The challenge is clear, significant, urgent. Gov & industry can deliver if we work together and make the right interventions, at the right scale, at the right time. Full throttle now! @SMMT @KwasiKwarteng @Ed_Miliband #smmtsummit

[SMMT @SMMT]

Full throttle needed for UK automotive success

New report 'Full Throttle: Driving UK Automotive Competitiveness’ explains how government can deliver manufacturing competitiveness in the transition to net-zero and help ‘level-up’

Allegedly a treat - I reserve judgement! However, a delight to join @tcaburrows & can't help but enjoy chatting trade and UK Automotive alongside @TradeAlemaro

#brexit #trade #automotive #smmt @SMMT

[SEC Newgate UK - Advocacy @SECNAdvocacy]

It's #TradeTuesday & we have a podcast treat for you!

For Episode 5 of #TradeTalks, Head of Trade @tcaburrows chats with the @SMMT's @TradeAlemaro & @mattogg about #Brexit & what the sector needs for the UK's trade agenda to be a success

🔊Listen here: https://t.co/xnukLNIZiy

[Matt Ogg @mattogg]

@SamuelMarcLowe @TradeAlemaro @keatingpatrick @hhesterm The intersection of trade, climate & industrial policy over the next few years will be both fascinating and critical.

They are not, historically, always coherent! 2024 rules just double down on the need for this.

[Matt Ogg @mattogg]

So. Here we go. 50mins until all change. Trade will see more red tape, more complexity and more cost. Tariff free trade (if you can ROO), welcome but limited, auto must adapt. What comes next? I guess it’s all to play for - time for that 10 Point Plan to grow some legs. #brexit

@faisalislam Finally Kermit is catching on! None of that KAP malarkey. #brexit

[Matt Ogg @mattogg]

Because condensing 1200+ pages into a tweet just isn’t possible...! @TradeAlemaro on EU-UK TCA & the auto sector. #trade #brexit

[Alessandro Marongiu @TradeAlemaro]

1. Does the new trade deal deliver for the UK and the EU automotive sectors? I and other colleagues have been working tirelessly over Christmas to answer this question – thanks @mattogg @Mulk_Lloyd!!. Here are my thoughts - warning, very long 🧵ahead!

[Matt Ogg @mattogg]

It's been a busy week @SMMT but an important one as EU-UK Round 9 concludes... we want a deal, we need a deal.

(Sometimes I even remember I should retweet about it.)

[SMMT @SMMT]

"Given its importance to the economy and livelihoods and the damaging consequences of tariffs, we need the sector prioritised in negotiations, not traded off against other industries."

@kimbopiaggins @BethanCansfield @AikoIiris @Katalutt @celeratimxl @estellesch1 @fijinsky Ahh I would have headed across, especially as it’s at LSE, but I’m in Cologne for like 12 hours for work unfortunately 🙈 Hope it goes well!

[Matt Ogg @mattogg]

GE2019 @fsb_policy hustings with those who would be Chancellor. @sajidjavid & @johnmcdonnellMP agree on need for rates reforms but most focus still on SBRR, @EdwardJDavey favours land tax #ge2019 #retailproperty @RevoLatest

Nice article on the Transalpine Run, from the next issue of ULTRA. By @mattogg and @Claudi8S. https://t.co/IznLGTvo1t #ultra #ultrarunning

Libraries: the original co-working! Libraries and other public & community services are key to the future of vibrant places, and can be successful if modernised, well-designed, invested in, and maintained. What other assets should be included? https://t.co/Io1qxp05aY

[Matt Ogg @mattogg]

May wins confidence vote 63% to 37%, but the ERG & @Jacob_Rees_Mogg say that’s a terrible result. Um, 52% to 48%?! What’s that? When is a majority a majority? And when isn’t one?! Politics right now is mad. #gofigure #maths #brexit #britishpolitics

[Matt Ogg @mattogg]

Feel like we've been in the thick of British politics today, esp when 1922 Chairman was present at GBHS.

Is this a day for 'where were you when..?' Awaiting the PM statement, next Brexit steps & if she will fight on. Business waits. As a Brit too, what's next? #politics #brexit
