So far, we've got 66 #LGBT+ MPs in new the Parliament, including one co-leader of a party.
That's just over 10% of parliament, which is more than the general population. So strong representation!

I look forward to welcoming the Starmer family cat JoJo to my team (the cat-inet). The fact that my new housemates are already cat-trained is excellent news.
BREAKING
CONFIRMED — senior Downing Street source tells me Jojo, the Starmers’ rescue cat, is moving into No 10 shortly.
Full analysis from @CatsProtection on @TalkTV tomorrow from 10am to 1pm (whole show not on Jojo, sadly, mainly as my producer won’t let me).

The new prisons minister James Timpson when we spoke earlier this year :
"Instead of making decisions around how you make profit, just focus on colleagues being really happy."
Timpson boss @JamesTCobbler talks to @krishgm about "upside-down management” and why giving employees more control can make a business more money.

Today only! Krispy Kreme is giving away FREE original glazed doughnuts to celebrate dough-mocracy.
Simply pop into one of its shops and say "I voted" – there's no purchase necessary. 🍩
It's the second most important decision you'll make today 🤣

We are back together @LHenstockPhysio this time collaborating across @covcampus @SalfordUni with focus on Advancing practice. Fantastic to see everyone at the introductory launch of @theRCOT and @RCSLT education reform programme building onwards from great foundations

If we want to create large scale, radical change, we need to shift from a "manager’s mindset" (building consensus & redesigning processes to make them more predictable & efficient) to a "changemaker’s mindset" (building coalitions & creating space for exploration & discovery). See new article by @Digitaltonto: medium.com/@greg-satell/why-…. It reminds me of "the hierarchy of capabilities" in "Humanocracy: how to create organisations as amazing as the people in them" by @profhamel & @MicheleZanini. If we want people to innovate for new ways of working, we have to create the space, conditions & leadership support for it. See also @PaulIanTaylor on the "values of innovation" vs the "values of production: paulitaylor.com/2017/07/02/s…
