We're spending a lot of time thinking and talking about what the workplace should be all about This 10min short film is an emotional rollercoaster, teaching plenty along the way The brilliant The Interview by @BusStopFilms #jobs #disability #wdsd2025 youtu.be/gmLsPJl3rc0?si…

@thomasforth Your 12am tweeting should be a major part of this analysis

And so we enter the "I should get up at 5am every day, I'm gonna get so much done today" phase. Can't wait for 11am when the regrets hit.

Always tempting at times to go out in a blaze of glory. . . . On which note, 5 Live Wake Up To Money tomorrow morning, guess who is going to be having some opinions about the UK government's growth plans? 🍿

Some growth chat from Tom as well on today's Wake Up to Money. Benefits of Ox<->Cam but potentially bigger benefits of investing in Hull, Middlesbrough, Bradford... Plus how wide the UK is!

@thomasforth @Gilesyb Don't drink too much because we'll be getting you on athe crack of dawn the next morning

@Gilesyb If I ever get mentioned by name in a budget I'll take the day off and go to the pub.

So far the markets are definitely relaxed. This is not a Kwasi moment. Though we are getting onto the spending bits, the overall envelope has surely not shocked on the upside. Reeves is now about to move onto the Investment Bit, let's see where that leaves us .... 1/

"The difference in the UK, on your own now, separate from Europe, it's a relatively small market." David Ricks, CEO of pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, tells #R4Today 'something needs to be quite different' to make the UK interesting in the global markets after leaving the EU.

"The difference in the UK, on your own now, separate from Europe, it's a relatively small market for most multinationals and certainly for Americans. Something needs to be quite different to make it interesting." David Ricks, CEO of pharma giant @EliLillyandCo on @BBCr4today

David Ricks, boss of pharma giant Eli Lilly on @BBCr4today: “You’re on your own now, outside Europe, so things need to be really quite different to make things interesting” — i.e UK needs to become regulatory sand box, invest in regulators, be nimble, not just talk about it.

"Should we be inviting a company like Shein to join the London Stock Exchange?" @seanfarrington asks former Barclays UK chair Sir Ian Cheshire, who says he would 'always vote for companies coming to London' to 'make them more leaders in their space'. #R4Today

In a statement, a Treasury spokesperson said: "Our customs and tax regime balances reducing burdens for businesses and consumers buying lower-value goods from overseas with the interests of UK businesses. "The decision on whether a firm can list in the UK is for the independent regulator, the FCA, subject to a firm meeting the FCA’s listing rules." #R4Today

Shein declined to comment - but directed to us previous statements in which they've said Shein's success is down to a flexible and efficient supply chain, not tax exemptions and that they "look forward to work with policy makers to review current frameworks". #R4Today

Speaking to business presenter @seanfarrington, Julian Dunkerton, chief of clothing brand Superdry, accuses Shein of being allowed to 'tax dodge' and says the government 'absolutely' needs to step in to close loopholes. #R4Today

More from @SuzannahNichol on @BBCr4today "Construction remains undervalued, and people underestimate the cost of construction. Whilst there have been changes since Carillion six years ago, there clearly has not been enough change.”

'Not enough change since Carillion' On @bbcr4today, @BuildUK boss @SuzannahNichol says the impact of ISG’s collapse on construction industry “will be devastating…and we may unfortunately see other companies within the supply chain now go down as a result ”. (1/2)

Harland and Wolff's executive chairman says there's a "strong case" for keeping the shipyards together as it's "sensible from an operating perspective". bbc.in/47rseuZ

Best read of the weekend - @SamuelHunt's up close and personal look at the bare-knuckle scene, and the lives of those involved. Incredible colour from the words, the voices and the photos. As many in the comments say - proper journalism.
