@CriticalEYears Fantastic. Well done Shad.

@eunice_lumsden @UniNorthants Congratulations Eunice I am delighted for you. Well deserved. Best wishes Michael

I have been given many labels by others since I was born, many not repeatable, but today I am grateful to @UniNorthants for my new label & the real privilege of becoming one of the few women from an Asian/British background to be called Professor & probably the first at UON

@KeepEYsUnique @OPALOutdoorplay Good luck Elaine. You will be great

@BarackObama ... ... .... . .. . ............. ...... ..........,.. .......,,...

Parents, you deserve a break – Michelle’s got storytime handled every Monday. She’s one of the best, I promise. (And I confess it makes me a little nostalgic.)

@Mr_PaintPots Well done David. Well deserved

In the midst of this heatwave, humbled & delighted to have been presented with a City of Southampton Award by the mayor yesterday for service to children, at a reception for education leaders.

Here are some of the more interesting items in the raffle: the Claudian is an Elzevir (1660), the Sophocles is one of Blaydes' curiosa, and the scribblings are Grote's. If you follow us and have RTed the message at the top of this thread, you are in the draw (on 30 Oct.) G'luck!

@TimHarford Endless reply to all

Help me, hivemind! I have three related questions about your experiences of email: 1) What piece of email behaviour most annoys you? (EG Sending pdfs and saying "please see attached document" instead of just putting it in the email.)

Morning #TeamEarlyChildhood. I'm seeking inspiration since my boy's nursery has just closed due to a positive case. We'll be at home for 2 weeks, trying to dig up lots of fun in the garden (thank goodness!) and living room. Ideas?

@zoeanna3 @msjcasson @JemsonMrs @MrsMuttock @JeffBanks2018 @AlexKhaldi1 @savs_southend @michelle_gray3 @ABSSouthend Well done Zoe. Fantastic. You deserve it for your hard work and commitment

@lostindisco @FraserSouthey @CER_Grant @CER_EU P

@FraserSouthey @CER_Grant @CER_EU I think they know the Bill will be torn apart by the Lords, with possibly Supreme Court challenge, both play into their “sabotage of brexit “ narrative, setting the scene for dismantling of both and deal in Spring.

Assuming that HMG sticks with its apparent plan of scrapping parts of Withdrawal Agreement and doing without an EU-UK trade accord, I foresee 10 consequences - a short thread. @CER_EU /1

@LaurenJOConnell Well done Lauren

Just had my viva. I have passed my PhD (subject to some minor typographical corrections) 🙃

@SerpsSwimClub When can we swim again? The new rules say no swimming in public pools. I the case can be made that if we do not use the changing rooms Serps swimming is the ideal SD sport

12 May 2020: Water - 57.0F / 13.9C; Air - 49.0F / 9.4C. Chooseday today, you decide what day it is.

@PennyTassoni Excellent news Penny. Keep getting better. Michael

Exit poll: The pattern of voting suggests that the Conservative party has increased its vote share in constituencies that voted in large numbers to leave the 2016 EU referendum. This is especially true in working class constituencies being defended by Labour.

@KA_Jennie @women_oftheyear Well done. richly deserved

Thank you @women_oftheyear, what a lovely letter and gift to walk into this morning x #WOTY19 #ThisisMe see you at the end of October.
