Congratulations to @JPonpolitics @glabsandra, @emhleahy, @Oli_J_Mansfield, @JustIsaac_Male, @Sofjohanson @David_Friend01 on the latest numbers for @TimesRadio Drive. A brilliant team to work with for a great show which I love being a tiny part of. Best wishes Sandra x
I don’t think there’s a better way to sign off on my maternity leave than to see my first baby (Times Radio Drive) in the strongest shape it’s ever been. We’ve reached record-breaking numbers - grown 35% year on year and our hours are up too by 28.6%.

End of an era as @KayBurley retires from @SkyNews. Not always popular, she just shrugged it off and blazed her own trail, with that trademark tenacity. She’s always been kind to me and I’m grateful for that. Good luck Kay, enjoy the travels. X
No one does live telly like @KayBurley. Our anchor woman for decades, Kay’s has been THE face of the @skynews for as long as I can remember. I grew up watching Kay, learnt a huge amount about from Kay when I joined Sky News and was lucky enough to do election night 2024 with her. She’s been a trailblazer & inspiration to a whole generation of women. You’re one of a kind 🫡

This is a good initiative.
Living in a 50% self-employed household, we're v. aware of tonight's tax return deadline! In future, remember you can split *file* from *pay*; filing >6 months in advance, you'll know what will be due to pay in Jan 26. Thru HMRC tax account you can schedule advance payment, too

Labour Growth Group Chair @chriscurtis94 says the once ‘new town’ of Milton Keynes he represents saw plenty of NIMBYs when being developed and is now a thriving City at the heart of the Cambridge-Oxford arc where 30% of people work in tech. #GrowthGap launch
Packed room for @GoodGrowthFdn launch tonight hearing about what voters really want to hear from the government. Timely insights on how money in pockets matters more to voters than GDP figures.

Looking forward to this report getting out there for all to see!
ICYMI @nicholaswatt, @vicderbyshire on @BBCNewsnight last night laying out the key themes of GGF Mind the Growth Gap report. Focus on intuitive growth levers is crucial for voters to feel their lives improving while the economy does too.🔗
