Wonder how many TA's we'll get back after half term? Lidl is paying £11 an hour. A 16% increase on a TA pay. And get paid in the holidays too.
My (public sector) $work has been advertising for 'senior' Linux sysadmins for less money than than a Lidl till manager gets and wondering why they have very few applicants. I think I've probably spent a years worth of Lidl salary this year just reading CV's and replying 'no...'.
They were also the political wing of a terrorist organisation which the DUP never were
Quite right.
🎵 The kind you find in a second hand store 🎵
The DUP have nothing to recommend them unless you believe in a flat Earth, a 6,000 year old universe and an unshakeable belief that the Pope is the devil's paw and wants to wipe them out.
In other words politicians fit for the 16th Century. Even JRM is liberal by comparison
Sunak after a decent start of 24 hours is fast going down the plug hole.
From his decision to bring back the sociopath Braverman and now putting the blocks on Charles going to Egypt .
Since the vast majority of the UK public agree on climate change I don’t see what’s controversial about Charles going .
Telegraph and Mail and express trump vast majority of voters in Sunak’s insecure mind.
In some ways the side Sunak has picked to fight on in climate debate runs contrary to honouring the 2019 manifesto and the Boris government? Hence nad getting mad.

FWIW, I think he as likely to run it into the ground as he is to successfully transform it.
Maybe, success is far from guaranteed. But cutting dead wood is a great start, and there's no wood more dead than Twitter's (ex) senior management. They've done nothing to move the business forward. I mean, can anyone who uses Twitter name one thing Agrawal and his team did to improve the platform's prospects? I certainly can't. Paying $200m to get rid of them is small beans on a $44bn investment.
Musk's plan to make Twitter a western WeChat is risky and ambitious, but it's a viable plan. The former management's plan was... well, something, something, growth. Possibly.
He was always going to get rid of CFO/CFO/GC, etc., and that's to be expected.
I probably wouldn't have got rid of data analytics people - at least not on mass, and not on day one. Because you will end up hiring a bunch of people who don't know how the existing systems work, and that's a tough place to be.
I'm also sceptical about the everything app opportunity: can Twitter really dethrone Facebook, Google, Instagram, Apple, etc?
Ultimately: Twitter is moderately popular. It can probably be monetized better off a smaller cost base. But it isn't a growing platform. Maybe Musk can wring $7 bn of revs out of it in a year. And maybe he can do that with just a $2bn cost base. (But be warned: if people stop spending time on Twitter because investment has stopped, then that $7bn is going in only one direction.)
And I'd also note that it's not like Elon doesn't have other jobs: he's CEO of SpaceX and Tesla. I wish him well, and I'm sure he'll do a better job than the previous owners, but I suspect it will never pay back the $44bn.
Clearly he wouldn't have done it if he'd known the market for tech stocks would dump, that's why he tried to wriggle out of it. But that's kind of an occupational hazard of buying a company, there's a time lag where such things can happen.
I think it's synergistic with SpaceX and Tesla because he can sell access to the western news agenda to governments in exchange for contracts, licenses and subsidies. So the market's acted efficiently in allocating Twitter to Musk, rather than to someone else who wouldn't have the same ability to milk it for political favours.
I see that Rishi is an instant busted flush and Liz Truss is a renaissance woman whose time has come.
A week surely is an eternity in politics.
No. Truss is still a fruitcake from the lunatic fringe of politics. Sunak is still a mediocre politician who was popular for giving away more money than Labour ever dreamt existed.
Sunak is still an improvement on Truss, but that does not make him a great leader.

Broken, sleazy Tories on the slide (now amended to any party of your choice that happens to be on a downwards trajectory in the polls) came from "Gabble" (who it was rumoured but never confirmed was a now ex-Labour MP) before and during the 2010 election when Cameron blew the Tories large lead over Labour.

Someone from UK Plc should attend COP, even if it’s Spy Suella or Red Rayner.
Anyone is better than no-one.
Keir Starmer, on the grounds that as the current PM hasn't got long left, the next PM is the one that matters.
that is the comment I meant to reply to and attending cop 27 is as pointless still as attending cop 26. Its meaningless. Its a talking shop where people will voice agreements for targets they have zero intention of keeping while at the same time imposing flying to far off holiday destinations to attend and causing more environmental damage. When they do the cop59 by zoom we will know they are getting serious. Till then no one cares if anyone attends

Better do nothing than spend a lot of carbon on doing nothing which is what most cop conferences have turned out to be.
Monetary sterilisation is the right overall strategy but the US has notable advantages that we don’t.
It wouldn’t be right for me to comment in too much detail on these topics but rest assured that I never do anything without due and appropriate hesitation.
☺️
The right strategy to acheive what outcome though? What does success look like?
To return the money supply back to appropriate levels and squeeze asset price inflation out of the system. A soft landing would be success.

You do make some sweeping statements!
Now I wouldn't wish to, and neither will I, diminish the carnage caused by republican terrorist organisations in Northern Ireland.

Now despite what you may think, none of those organisations are Boy Scout affiliates.

Rishi Sunak is upholding Liz Truss’s decision to stop King Charles attending the Cop 27 climate conference, despite the monarch “ champing at the bit” to go.
The prime minister faces criticism over his own decision to skip the event and has been under pressure to allow the monarch to attend instead.
Charles is believed to be disappointed by the advice from No 10 that he should miss the event, which starts in Egypt next weekend, with allies suggesting that Sunak should let him go to prove Britain’s environmental commitment. However, the King will not force the issue after Downing Street made clear yesterday that Sunak would not reopen any debate about it.
The Queen was always totally non political and the best thing for Charles is to do the same thing.
If you think HM was non-political, I have a Garden Bridge to sell you.
The Queen went to COP 26 anyway
She made a ceremonial address by video as head of state of the host country. Heads of state of host countries often do that for international gatherings of various types. It's unremarkable.
If the British king went to COP27 in Egypt, he'd be likely to start rambling about Rudolf Steiner, "Doctor Dee", and the golden section, as he does in his book "Harmony". All in a pained voice as if he feels the Earth's suffering and has been entrusted with a mission to restore Poundbury-type "natural" order not just to a corner of Dorset but to all possible universes.
Is there a market on how long he will remain in his current position?
I didn’t see any of these pathetic liberal pantywaists weeping similarly when Facebook and Twitter were on THEIR side and spent A YEAR censoring any mention of the lab leak hypothesis in case it “helped Trump”
Facebook on the liberal side? It's literally the #1 right wing media outlet.
Yes. I I’ve posted four articles detailing how the basic manner in which Facebook works, it’s algorithm and overall platform structure, helped Trump get elected. It’s late and I don’t have the time, or the crayons, to explain this to you further.
Blah blah blah blah blah...
Oh wait here's a video of Zuckerberg personally admitting that Facebook suppressed a true story at the behest of the FBI and on behalf of Joe Biden

There will be lots of Heads of State there, climate change is an issue not dispute by anybody bar a tiny minority especially in the UK. While action on climate change is something of particular importance to the young, a demographic the monarchy wants to do more to appeal to
