This is high risk: discrepancies between interviews will be hugely analysed, while promises made in Lancs but not Yorks or Norfolk but not Suffolk set up other issues. Let alone the wearying effect of making the same points every 7 mins while still sounding bright and in control.

In the UK at least, light rail gets more people out of cars and into public transport than buses. So a cheaper way of doing it makes it an option for more places.

We need to do more to champion those who want to follow this route, and those employers who support and encourage them. Especially in

It was plain Poulton until the penny post. At which point, the fact there's another Poulton in Lancashire became a problem for deliveries. Both of them got suffixed so we have Poulton-le-Fylde and Poulton-le-Sands. No idea why French though...

So proper rail investment has been replaced by equipping trains with BorisBoost. You get pretty much the same service but you do have the PM telling you that it's so much better.

Absolutely to this. Modernising employment policy and practice doesn't only make things better for women, it makes things better for everyone.
Parents shouldn't have to choose between being a lawyer and being a mum or dad.
By framing this as a women's issue we marginalise stay at home/main caregiver dads, marginalise mums who are the main breadwinner, and normalise men failing to do their fair share at home.

I think it can also be the accumulation of scars from all the previous badly-executed, poorly-explained changes that didn't deliver the promised benefits. There's a responsibility on those pushing the new change to learn from those experiences.

Very true. It's often missed that 'women friendly' policies are 'people friendly' policies. Everyone benefits when employers are more flexible and compassionate. And employers get access to a wider pool of talent with a wider range of life experience.

These are serious allegations that require an independent investigation.
Exclusive: Tories received legal advice that Mark Menzies's alleged misuse of campaign funds amounted to fraud but decided they weren't obliged to tell the police because it was donors' rather than party money, whistleblower claims.

I think there's something in this that could be part of 'leveling-up'. Facilities/services to support remote workers so they can have the advantages of a job in a better paid area with some of the backup that comes from being in an office. Can't address all issues but maybe some?

See this thread from

Indeed in 1942, Britain essentially bought the ENTIRE "free" world's tea crop, with the approval of all the major powers and then oversaw it's GLOBAL distribution.
I'm not shitting you. That's how seriously the government took the need to address the supply of drinks people like

As during Covid, they'll rely on supermarkets setting limits as a way of getting rationing without taking responsibility. While repeating their line about the UK having robust supply chains ad nauseam.

A bird feeder and a nest box are quick additions. RSPB seed mixes work in our garden and profits support nature. Pots and tubs can go in there as it is. Chives and Lavender are both great for bees. If you can get a fruit tree in, do; eating your own is special. Herbs as well.

True but also that the 30-year veterans were those younger people once. I don't think anyone starts off resistant to change, but repeated disappointments will change people. Mutual intergenerational mentoring may help. Combine enthusiasm with the wary ability to spot pitfalls.

The Tories keep claiming betrayal, by an increasing list of supposed conspirators. In truth, they have been betrayed only by their incompetence and by putting self interest before the national interest.
🔴 EXCLUSIVE: Liz Truss is breaking her silence as she blames a "powerful economic establishment" and her own Conservative Party for her downfall.

Completely this. Any business leader who doesn't want to move with the times will find that the times are moving them regardless.
Anyone interested in analysing the extent to which hybrid or remote working will be a thing in the future, don't watch or read the opinion pieces or "I think X" commentariat, watch the housing market, sales of home office equipment, commuter dynamics, and job adverts.
