Well done #NotableSpeech . Another winner from my favourite sire #Dubawi My choice for the 2000 Guineas and that of jockey William Buick - although the markets were very sceptical Godolphin

Spent a great night calling for Susan Hall AM ahead of London mayoral elections tomorrow. Voters I spoke with are ready to send a strong message to Sadiq Khan on rising crime and his ULEZ tax burden on families and businesses. #LondonElections #SusanHallForMayor

A great race

A very sad day. Frank really understood #pensions and was a good friend and guide when I worked Tesco and later on the review of the #StatePensionAge He will be much missed.

The Lords has accepted the Commons rejection of their final amendment and has adjourned.

Big thanks to Baroness Baroness Neville-Rolfe for coming to #Balham this lunchtime to campaign for Susan Hall AM for Mayor of London and Councillor Ellie Cox for London Assembly. 💙🌳✖️

This election isn’t about Westminster politics, it’s about who is best to lead the West Midlands & deliver for local people 🤝🏻

I’ve used my business experience to deliver 100k jobs in two years, the national pace for housebuilding, & a rapid increase in our transport network 📈

The Government is embedding #technology in operations at our #borders . From the Single Trade Window to our Ecosystem of Trust pilots, we are testing & scaling tech & data sharing to improve the experience of traders. Thanks to ICC United Kingdom Deloitte UK #C4DTI for a great conference.

Great to meet Irene Piki to understand more about the Cypriot constitution and political system and to share how the UK coordinates decision-making and policy implementation through the Cabinet Office UK in Cyprus Cyprus MFA

Inflation has fallen - again.

It’s now at 3.2%, the lowest it has been in over two and a half years.

Great to round off my trip to Northern Ireland by visiting Julie Harrison the Northern Ireland Office Perm Sec & staff at Erskine House. Under our successful #PlacesforGrowth programme we are building a Civil Service representative of the whole UK & have relocated 18,200 roles ahead of schedule

Very productive meeting with senior industry leaders today hosted by PwC here in Belfast - talking about how public appointments can bring benefits to themselves and their talented employees in their current roles. I look forward to keeping the conversation going.

Mayor Cllr. Andrew Gowan joined Cabinet Minister Baroness Baroness Neville-Rolfe at a HM Govt Northern Ireland Public Appointments Talent and Outreach Event in Lagan Valley Island
Over 100 professionals were warmly welcomed at the picturesque venue, providing an inspiring setting for the event.

So rewarding to meet many wonderful people in public appointments across Northern Ireland at our event today. We need more people from Northern Ireland to help govern the UK’s public institutions. Northern Ireland Office Cabinet Office Apply here: …for-public-appointment.service.gov.uk/roles

Interesting morning at BelfastHarbour seeing their facilities, their new crane technology and the work of #UKBorderForce . It was a productive meeting as we discussed how both to make trade across our border quicker and easier and to intercept illegal goods. Cabinet Office

I am so pleased that Rishi Sunak has moved to introduce a new offence of assaulting a shop worker and better technology to catch thieves. As a former retailer I know this is overdue. I also thank The British Retail Consortium for their persistence in the face of surging retail crime.

A wonderful #baseball game between the Los Angeles Los Angeles Angels and Boston Red Sox with an Angels #GrandSlam - 4 runs at one go, the first I have ever seen. It was a chilly evening however. My luck with the US weather continues - we also dodged a minor tornado in St Louis.

Sanó RBI to tie it back up!
