What are petition debates?
Petition debates are ‘general’ debates which allow MPs from all parties to discuss the important issues raised by one or more petitions, and put their concerns to Government Ministers.
Petition debates don’t end with a vote to implement the request of a petition. This means that MPs will not vote on the issues raised in the petition at the end of the debate.
The Petitions Committee can only schedule debates on petitions to parliament started on petition.parliament.uk

Why one CEO sets ‘non -goals’ – and what ultramarathons taught him about focus and mental toughness
Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)
The Atlantic CEO Nicholas Thompson became an ultramarathoner in his 40s. Recommitting to the sport helped him break records and even get faster as he aged. The discipline he built also helped transform nearly every aspect of his life.. His latest book,The Running Ground, focuses on his own personal journey with running, a sport he began with his first mile at 5 and that that helped him cope with a cancer diagnosis in his 30s and later process his relationship with his complicated father. In this special conversation, he shares what running can teach leaders about the healthy habits that underpin success, such as consistent effort, healthy habits, pacing for the long game, and breaking through the mental barriers that derail progress. He details some of the strategies that help him make time for what matters most including setting ‘non-goals’ that help him manage energy and not just time. As the leader driving digital transformation at a 169-year-old publication, he also reflects on leading through historic disruption and what he’s learned from The Most Interesting Thing in Tech, the daily videos he posts exploring most compelling tech trends on his mind.
