Well then. Who saw that coming? Certainly not me, who had put together a simply sensational Have I Got Social Enterprise News For You which entirely relied on a hung parliament. Seriously, it was incredible, I’d make a picture in Photoshop and everything. But now that’s all ruined. I guess I always have a career working for YouGov if it’s needed, with my visionary prediction skills.

I’m afraid you’ll have to make do with quite a straightforward addition then. But that’s probably the least of your worries this morning.

Roll on the weekend!

Hello! Lots of new subscribers to Have I Got Social Enterprise News For You, so welcome to you all. There’s a bit of a problem this week, however. I’ve been away for the last two weeks and haven’t really kept an eye on what has been going on in the world of social enterprise, I don’t really have any time to do any research and it’s Friday.  So in the absence of anything to write about, I’m simply going to copy and paste my email inbox from while I’ve been away. Conveniently, I only received 10 emails…
