@GMB At long last - joined up NHS patients' data. No piling up of in-patient files underneath beds. No delays to get a patient's case history due to registry unavailability and no longer gaps or conflicting case notes. All in all a seamless patient experience. And pigs will fly!

@GMB what a brilliant interview by Alan Milburn on the factors affecting the inordinate growth of young NEETs. He pinponted the issue as systemic, which needs an overarching industrial strategy to avoid a lost generation.

@GMB The last thing we need in this country is a Zombie PM sitting in office while the Labour Party manufactures an opening for Andy Burnham. It would be disastrous during a period of huge uncertainty, which changes daily.

Labour’s workers’ rights reforms leave over-50s struggling for a job. Changes in the Employment Rights Act affect workers of all ages. However, in practice, some policies may impact older workers more. Almost one million older workers on the scrapheap.

FTSE bosses 18% pay bump.
Evidence for this supposed 'global war for talent'? Most Brits can and do only work in a domestic executive labour market.
Rem cos should be alert to this falsehood and not inflating the pay of their UK executives unnecessarily. https://t.co/FRY65u3XT5

@ProfCaryCooper Perhaps a bloated welfare state and Brexit are major factors, which leaves this country's GDP vulnerable than most to external shocks. There's got to be trade-offs, we can't continue as we are at the current fantasy levels of UK Government debt and borrowing.

RAF cadet suspended for critical thinking. How times change!

As an officer cadet in the late 80s, I openly debated Islam as a future threat post-Iran/Iraq War without any fear of punishment.

The shift in discourse is massive.

The new era of the Super-Ager comedians who demonstrate that pursuing an active life in their 70s / 80s is still possible. After all, age is just a number, which opens up new opportunities in later life for the Super-Agers.

This is a most damming report into the current state of the Civil Service by a former senior official. In my experience the CS has always been a "curate's egg." A mix of very good and questionable performers who end up as square pegs in round holes.

HMRC wants freelancers to file finances 4x a year. After 25 years self‑employed, that was the final straw for me. More red tape, less reward — and now the Employment Rights Act on top. We’re driving freelancers out.

Why are men finding themselves out of work and on the scrapheap? A structural imbalance in the UK labour market is having an adverse effect on male employment prospects, especially in transitioning from old to new skills. Read on.

HMRC wants freelancers to file their finances four times a year. They’d rather quit, this is the final straw that breaks the camel's back. It is on top of "double squeezing," raising tax rates and drastically cutting the tax-free dividends allowance.

How to communicate like a leader

[Evan Davidge @WellbeingLead]

@personneltoday I'm surprised that only 11% are taking their full holiday entitlement. Employers may well be tightening up on holiday rollovers. But I suspect that leavism is still alive and kicking in many organisations. That appears to be the missing question in the survey!

[Evan Davidge @WellbeingLead]

Middle England is trapped in Rachel Reeves’s mansion tax ‘nightmare.’ Her mantra is that "Those with the broadest shoulders should pay fair tax." However, it's another blatant and unfair attack on Middle England's pensioners to suck them dry.

What a dog's breakfast this budget has turned out to be. Benefits street are laughing all the way to the bank while working people are being asked to make a "contribution." It may lift poverty for many, but what incentives are there to work against a ballooning welfare bill?

[Rob Moore @robprogressive]

Let me get this straight, someone on ave. salary £35k a year, WORKING, will now be £1,400 worse off after the budget 

BUT someone with 5 kids on benefits NOT working will be £10,000 better off

This is becoming a disgrace. Rewarded for not working, PUNISHED for working

Superb article which is a must read to understand the huge challenges and opportunities that AI presents in the new technological revolution. Hopefully, lessons from the https://t.co/NnZgymtxAc era will lead to smarter practical decisions that will positively affect mankind.

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

Nvidia and OpenAI’s massive chip deal shows how fast the AI market is accelerating, but adoption remains uneven. Here’s what leaders can learn from the dot-com era to make smarter investments and stay ahead.

I accept Trump's assertion that European leaders have been asleep on their watch, but two wrongs don't make a right. To submit to a grossly one-sided deal that effectively sacrifices a democratic country's sovereignity is absolutely shameful. It will only embolden Putin further.

[Cary Cooper @ProfCaryCooper]

I’m ashamed of European leaders even considering the Trump-Russia plan for ending the Ukrainian war!This dishonours Ukraine.European leaders should outright reject it & put forward their own plan which is the withdrawal of Russia from all Ukrainian land&embraces Ukraine in NATO

[Evan Davidge @WellbeingLead]

Interesting research illustrating the divide befween HR and business leaders in terms of regarding wellbeing as a strategic priority. Without board level sponsorship, wellbeing will glitter like a Christmas tree but not be culturally sustainable in the longer term.

[Employee Benefit News @EBNbenefitnews]

96% of HR leaders say employee well-being is a top priority — but only 65% of company owners agree. EBN’s 2025 Workplace Well-being Survey reveals a growing disconnect in how orgs approach wellness. #EmployeeWellbeing #HR #Leadership https://t.co/PvykpaGmzN

Why Humble Leaders Tend to Be the Most Effective Leaders. As a disciple of situational leadership, there is no doubt in my mind that a humble leader is more relatable and empathetic. But, arguably, it is not suitable in all situations as science shows. https://t.co/dSrwdfDxFJ
