Last time i posted on @bsky.app was summer! The biggest thing to happen since - was going to St James’s Palace just before Xmas, to receive an OBE from Anne, The Princess Royal @theroyalfamily.bsky.social A real pinch-yourself/is this real moment; Marco and my parents insist it did. 12 pics (1/3)

Still a bit floored by this… but am grateful, (almost) beyond words, to have just been appointed an OBE in the King’s Birthday Honours List. It’s been a privilege to work for the UK’s small business movement — for over a decade now — every day, I see them power local growth and create jobs. 1/3

To reduce the #benefits bill, and get more people into work, the Government should make it easier for small employers to create jobs, with 51% of small employers having hired someone with a health condition in the last three years, FSB's @craigbeaumont.bsky.social tells BBC Radio 4 Today 👇

Lovely to try out a new parkrun this morning! Pretty chilly, and I was not as fast as I wanted - but still managed my final km sprint Add that to a big ol’ cycle back, a gym weights session and a bootcamp class - getting a lot of my fitness done, today 👟🏃‍♂️🚴🏋️‍♀️🤸‍♂️💪😊 #parkrun @parkrunuk.bsky.social

Really great to see your work on the Employment Allowance campaign getting recognition, it's making a real difference to small businesses up and down the country. If you're a small business owner, now's a brilliant time to get involved and add your voice to the campaign.

I mean - it adds a bit of festive dramatic anticipation to horse racing on telly, when you can’t see anything @itvxofficial.bsky.social

Good to travel last night, to join the BBC Breakfast sofa today Chatted with @benthompson00.bsky.social and Luxmy Gopal about the need for us all to support small businesses, and the high street, this Christmas (63p in every £1 stays local!) @fsb-uk.bsky.social @bbcbreakfast.bsky.social

In Salford, to the excellent BBC Breakfast sofa for @fsb-uk.bsky.social (08.15 if you’re up early and coffee’d up) 💪🛋️🎤☕️ Meanwhile, early today, I manfully overcame a sniffle to snatch a new parkrun PB - 22 minutes/9 secs. Best ever placing, too (28th) 💪🏃‍♂️🥳 @bbcbreakfast.bsky.social

Happy with this. As of today, my 2024 running total in kilometres became my biggest year ever - 694.8km And it’s only November. Will break 700km/maybe 750km, before the year is out. (I didn’t have this as an aim when I started my health/exercise kick, but I’m banking it.). Onwards and upwards!

Post a picture you took (no description - except in alt text!!) to bring some parkrun to the timeline.

Here’s a slice of Blue Sky from Monday afternoon - near home/Canary Wharf, with the moon reflected. Had to stop my bike to capture a pic. This image seems a nice way to start on here? (Any @bluesky tips, lemme know!)
