Fantastic! #FrancisBacon to play a leading part, I hope?

Well THIS is high praise! 👀👀 thank you.

And the winners 🥇 by a score of 8.5 to 2.5 - are the @HouseofCommons! Excellent #chess on display from @Jesse_Norman and @RachelReevesMP 👏 - the Lords are going to regroup and vow revenge in 2024!

Taking on the legendary Robert Winston in the #LordsvsCommons chess match. I managed to win a long, hard-fought King's Indian. Phew.

Lovely opening remarks by Speaker ⁦@LindsayHoyle_MP⁩ to the first UK-Ukraine ⁦@HouseofCommons⁩ chess match between GM Volokitin and GM Mickey Adams. A great moment!

Since our appointment, @HuwMerriman & I have worked hard to try and end these disputes

RMT members at Network Rail have voted to accept a fair & reasonable deal

Here’s why RMT leaders should give their members at train operating companies the chance to vote on their offer too👇

I am pleased that Network Rail’s RMT members have voted to accept a fair and reasonable 5% + 4% pay offer, over two years, that the Government worked hard to facilitate. (1/3)

A gentle reminder, if you're thinking of coming along, that this Saturday we have our next #openday.
It's the perfect opportunity to explore NMITE, meet staff and students, ask questions and get answers. #engineering #highereducation

Magnificent piece of writing by @PaulGoodmanCH https://bit.ly/42mxBZj

Twenty years today since Tony Blair committed the UK to the #Iraq invasion: @spectator carried this piece by me showing for the first time in detail how the invasion of Suez gave the precedent for Blair's decision to sex up the legal advice. Here it is https://www.jessenorman.com/2013/03/the-spectator-tell-us-the-reason-why.html

And looking gorgeous for his 300th anniversary!

This chart from @ChrisGiles_ today shows why the idea austerity has caused our growth problems post-GFC doesn’t stack up

During peak austerity (2010-6) UK had strongest GDP per capita growth in G7

Fiscal policy was loosened significantly post-2016, when UK falls right back

Using the new ATIP connectivity tool! Fantastic.

Great to have @HS2ltd in the studio yesterday.

If you are wondering what it's like to study @nmite_ac why don't you come to our next open day on the 25th March? http://www.nmite.ac.uk
