Can I chuck in links to this film and feature from DFID about maternal health in Kenya. We're poised by the radio for PW's interview by Victoria Derbyshire at noon.

Brilliant PW - we're all very proud of you at MNHQ (much better than me!)

Do ask Pesto on for a webchat? i.e. feel free to collar the great and the good on our behalf...

He He - you know us too well DesperateHousewife! We were indeed handflapping and shouting at the screen "Say Mumsnet, Say Mumsnet!" But she couldn't have done a better job, could she?
Re Robert P - not an official nickname. He is indeed nice though.

You could collar Mandy about flexi working - how business should see it as an opportunity to keep key staff who otherwise will leave (especially women) rather than a pain...

Promised Save the Children that we'd link to their film, part of the campaign Knock Some Sense into Them, aimed at putting children on world leaders' agenda. If you click here then on the page that appears click on 'download now securely' you'll get the film.

PW do you have a mobile number and is your phone on? (if so can you mail it to us?) ta

Basically Mandy is thought to be anti- flexi-working legislation because he feels it's anti-business (he's voiced scepticism about extending right to request flexi-working let alone changing it to right to demand) vs Harriet H/gender equality people on the other side. Point is he/business shouldn't view flexi/ innovative/ modern ways of working as anti-business but potentially as a way of making people more productive and keeping women (especially) in the workplace after children, which is good for economy as a whole and for women's chances of climbing the greasy pole/ bridging the pay gap.

But you should also ask him Georgimamma's second chance one, for sure!

Cheeky buggers in the MSM (MSM = mainstream media) - Mumsnet / PW reference half way down.
