@JohnSimpsonNews Thank you, John. Same seat and drink also, please.

Back in the same French café where we watched England’s last 2 games — in case it helps. In the French TV studio they don’t think Spain are the obvious favourites but they’re amused that some Scots want a Spanish win. #ESPENG #Euro2024

@JohnSimpsonNews Please do, John.

I think I’d better go back to the same café on Sunday.

In 2023 @BITC and @BlackpoolPoP ran a 'Seeing is Believing' Visit to Blackpool, led by Dame Amanda Blanc DBE, Group CEO, Aviva. These visits are a unique experience that provides senior leadership from businesses with opportunities to understand some of the issues facing our town

@BlackpoolPOP is seeking for a Coastal Community Health Improvement Strategy for Blackpool. This will help solve the public health problems and lift up health inequalities across the town. Find out more on page 18 in the Prospectus - tinyurl.com/ydc45a

@b_and_fc #Multiversity will be a state of the art education campus. It will offer more than 70 courses, enhancing its existing higher #education provision which is linked to local employment needs, and will bring up to 3,000 students into the town centre.

Our ambitious plan for #Blackpool includes the creation and safeguarding of over 10,000 #jobs, and growing the local #economy by £1bn through turbocharging tourism. Find out more here: tinyurl.com/ydc45a @BITC @NikalLtd @backlotbpl @ShowtownBPL @MerlinBlackpool

@johndnickson Well said, John.

Don’t smear philanthropy with the sins of the super rich. My letter in Financial Times 27.1.2024. Because giving really matters.

@JohnSimpsonNews It will John. It has some challenges but so many opportunities too. Some brilliant teams of people dedicated to its renewal and to tackle situations such as these, to make people’s lives better.

Blackpool as a town is both wonderful and sad. It’s got loads of advantages and some brilliant backers, but it’s also got immense problems, as this article shows. One day, though, it’ll get back to its old prosperity. theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/n…

@JohnSimpsonNews And better for the environment too. A lovely way to explore.
