@piersmorgan I wouldn't. The word 'mortified' is a telling Freudian slip. Boris isn't mortified. And some covid victims were.

If I was ever in deep sh*t, I’d want Grant Shapps in my corner. His ability to defend the indefensible is so impressive. Boris could murder 10 people & he’d say: ‘Yes, but he’s an honourable man who’s made a sincere apology and on a positive note, at least it wasn’t 11!’

Thank you to the LSG, Eduardo Reyes & Joanna Goodman for a really interesting roundtable discussion. The trick about technology is using it, as opposed to letting it use you. (Prince's words, not mine). #disputeresolution #mediatio…lnkd.in/gVxiz6p lnkd.in/gN9i87N

@jon_bower @networkrail @WBD_UK @WBD_US @JoshuaRozenberg Couldn't agree more. You'll also save time, money and maybe the relationship. The smarter question is often not 'Should we mediate?' but 'If not, when'. This sounds like a really interesting conference.
