@afneil £10 billion p/a from 1000 households - you do despair at times with the quality of academia. A basic sense check would see that is just preposterous. People have taxable income of £500 million p/a and are in Starmer/ Burn ‘ems Britain? What’s next - forced incarceration?
@anon_opin@Iwontcalmdown So what private sector roles will these people go into that provide similar opportunities to WFH? Genuinely asking - or are they able to continue coping with the cost of living without Working?? My guess is it would be phased in precisely to avoid that scenario -if it does occur
Employee: Here is my two weeks’ resignation notice.
HR Manager: You didn’t tell me you were planning to leave.
Employee: Yes, I wanted to wait until the right time.
HR Manager: The right time?
Employee: I’m joining a new company with a better offer.
HR Manager: How much are they offering you?
Employee: It’s 170,000—a solid jump from my current 100,000.
HR Manager: We can give you a no-brainer offer—190,000.
Employee: In that case, I’ll stay and accept your offer.
HR Manager: Thank you. You’re one of our top performers, and we can’t afford to lose you.
Employee: I knew I could count on you.
Four months later…↓
@TedUrchin It’s a rather telling list which points out the setting up of a bureaucracy as a ‘concrete achievement’ - if this is the best they can come Up with it’s little wonder they are among the least popular governments since records began. Certainly for me the worst in British history
@JohnRentoul What’s next? A post saying that Putin is just ‘misunderstood’? Bokassa ‘a great humanitarian’ Idi Amin and his love of rabbits? Good grief - there’s Kool Aid and a full on mental breakdown
@Gribblethegreat@sharrond62@DeborahMeaden The ‘Persian fact checking service’ is doing a remarkable job to have survived 50 years plus from before a time when the internet existed. Reuters is less compromised than the BBC but is a dedicated anti - Trump news source as are all the news agencies. I think Sharron is fine..
@jomangabey@BBC It’s ghastly isn’t it - am
Guessing they blew the budget on Hong Kong. But I am assuming they won’t persist with this beyond this year.
@jameschappers Peter Mandelson
Rampant corruption
Short term surplus driven by tax raises which is not repeatable
Unemployment above 5%
Small boats arriving in droves
Out of control crime
If people are stupid enough to re- elect them it is the end of the UK
@Brexit_Refugee They are working - if your goal is being the worst government in British history and destroying the country - I’d agree they can’t be bettered
@DaddyCoffee73 I think it’s a policy under consideration by the Greens. One issue I’d have is it seems strange to give people the vote then not allow them to have a non- alcoholic beer? It’s also nakedly political by the worst government in UK history.
@thinkwithA Stranger things have happened of course and the Premier League is a draw but the toxicity of the fanbase would be a significant issue. Look at the number of people calling for Arteta to go after Wednesday. It’s a hornet’s nest. Especially given he could choose any European club
@PeteWargent@SandyXiaotong@HestiaHotspur In fairness New Hall looked positively comprehensive next to the likes of St Paul’s or Wycombe Abbey whose alumni I encountered in Cambridge!
@atheosuk@Heccles94 But wanting the annihilation of Israel is a message of ‘hope and love’?? You wonder if these people are parody accounts only to realise that - no- they are deadly serious.
