It looks like Reform wants to turn the NHS into a US-style healthcare model 🚨 If you oppose this, please retweet this. Let’s send Nigel Farage a message!

#ProjectAfrica Day 330: 76km Total raised for @Running_Charity @sandblastarts @WaterAidUK £219,313 Total distance covered: 14,847km Days left until finish: 21 Yes boys & girls. Another day closer. Wanted to open up the last day of this project to anyone & everyone who has been watching and supporting. Come and run the last marathon, the last half, 10km, 5km, 1km. Whatever you fancy. We'll be starting from the shell garage in Ghezala, finish at the most northern tip of Africa, and then trading 1s & 2s on the tarmac for 1s & 2s on the dance floor. We've booked a hotel on the nearby town of bizerte between the 6th-9th of April and have a party organised for the last day running on the 7th. If you want to come and be a part of it with us just email [email protected] with a photo of your passport and flight/travel confirmation and we will sort your accommodation for free as a thank you for everyone's immense support. First come, first served & limited spaces. Plenty of other hotels super close by though so if you still want to come for the finish and the party, feel free to book your own place (no need to email) Everyone is welcome! – at Béchar , Algeria

#ProjectAfrica Day 324-329: Day 324: 69.5km Day 325: 75.3km Day 326: 75km Day 327: 75.3km Day 328: 74.9km Day 329: 75km Total raised for @Running_Charity @sandblastarts @WaterAidUK £206,299 Total distance covered: 14,771km Days left until finish: 22 Turned 27 a couple days back. Was 25 when I flew out to South Africa to get this mission started. Time flies when you’re caving in tarmac all across the continent. Finishing these runs everyday twisted proper. Go to bed thinking tomorrow is gonna be too much of an ask for my body but it keeps managing to just about hold itself together. Amazing what 8 hours head down + forcing the issue can do. Got muscles/tendons/nerves/bones pinging off red flags all day long but 22 days and all of that will just be a memory. Wanted to say a massive thank you to all the Algerians we’ve met so far that have been so great to us. Me & my team are really enjoying our time here🫡🇩🇿 – at Béchar , Algeria

#ProjectAfrica Day 170/171: 54.6km/58.7km Over that illness. Daily mileage getting close to where it should be again. Places to be, people to see. Firmly in the making movements business. Will be in the capital of Cameroon, Yaonde, in a day or two and then heading for what we anticipate to be one of the most challenging border crossings of the mission into Nigeria. Latest reports on ground are saying I might need to get a snorkel out the roads are that flooded. Luckily I keep one with me at all times, along with a pack of ham. Don’t ask questions. The new 4x4 is only a couple of days away now. With it comes a satellite (hopefully more reliable internet connectivity) & our new recruit Jamie. In other news our latest YouTube video is finally up. Link below to check it out🫡 – at Centre, Cameroon

In 1959, police were called to a segregated library when a Black 9-year-old boy trying to check out books refused to leave, after being told the library was not for Black people. The boy, Ronald McNair, went on to became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him.

Product Managers! BRING PROBLEMS TO ENGINEERS. Friday afternoon, I brought a stakeholder product complaint to my team. I thought it was good context, but not actionable yet. 30 minutes later an engineer showed a poc that solves the problem. We released it today. ❤️🥹

A wee thread about a young boy and the tweet that got away. Feel free to RT. Three weeks ago my youngest, Gabriel 12, came home upset. His love of woodwork was not deemed cool, nor was only having 6 followers on his instagram. 1/15

If you are a PM, paying attention to PM Twitter is one of the best ways to improve. The content is far better than anything else available. These 10 tweets from the last week have made me a much better PM. I'm applying them in my work. You should too: 🧵

The people in your organization are already self-organizing within the bounds of current constraints. Don't like the results? look at the constraints. ~@estherderby
