Thrilled to have the opportunity to share the soundtrack of my life by choosing eight discs, a book and a luxury item to take with me when I am cast away on my personal desert island, courtesy of @laurenlaverne and BBC Radio 4: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001gwt…
Many thanks for all your good wishes on our 50th birthday today. If you have just over 50 minutes to spare, here is a riveting documentary that will give you some great insights into the workings of @IcelandFoods.

My Sunday walk up Bickerton Hill is meant to lower my blood pressure - but then it gets pushed through the roof by idiots like this. How dim do you have to be to think that putting dog muck in a plastic bag and leaving it on the path improves the environment?
You're bard!
But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? Hang on, wrong Stratford. This is today's absolutely brand new @IcelandFoods store in The Mall at the Stratford Centre, E15. Open 7am - 10pm weekdays and only 7.2 miles from the Globe theatre. Exit, pursued by a bear.
I don't shoot grouse and I'm proud to say that I've just bought a new Bentley, helping to sustain jobs on my doorstep in Crewe. You don't have to ride a pushbike to be passionate about cutting plastic pollution and saving the rainforest.

Those who claim that sustainable palm oil is the answer to deforestation should take a long look at this picture from a recent @Greenpeace mission to West Papua. Forest cleared by a group that has many ties with the RSPO.

Perhaps a bit ‘intellectually lazy’ of you not to mention your funding from a major palm oil producer, @jonathonporritt? simedarbyplantation.com/medi…

Far from being an ‘empty PR stunt’ our palm oil removal is driven by my direct personal experience of the devastation this industry is causing to the rainforest - and is costing @IcelandFoods millions, @jonathonporritt.

Last week I set out Government’s plan to leave our environment in a better state than we found it. I urged supermarkets to introduce plastic-free aisles and Iceland have today said they will eliminate plastic packaging by 2023 – I hope others follow suit. dailymail.co.uk/news/article…

Also at the end of Cabinet all members given a reusable coffee cup on behalf of Environment Agency ocean clear up team, and PM praised Iceland for its moves to restrict plastic packaging, but said more to be done and “now we want others to follow suit”

We’re becoming the first UK retailer to go #PlasticFree in its own-label product range by 2023. Are you with us? #TooCoolForPlastic

Today I am announcing that Iceland is committing to become the first major retailer globally to eliminate plastic packaging from all of its own label products by 2023. #toocoolforplastic
Huge thanks to everyone who voted for me in The Grocer Cup. Winning is one of the absolute highlights of my 53 years in retailing.
I'm especially proud of everything @IcelandCharity has done to fund the vital research that will ultimately deliver a cure for dementia.
Entrepreneurship & retailing are both vital to the UK’s wellbeing - by generating wealth to fund public services & support good causes.
I give special thanks to all the many thousands of Iceland colleagues - present and past - who have helped me to achieve this.
