As appears to have become traditional around a major change of UK government, a commentary from me for @economyandspace: "An abundance of caution for a ‘stagnation nation’? Financial services policy development in post-growth Britain". 🧵1/10 https://t.co/yBDyZPGUGm

@nottspolice I'm trying to upload a video of a traffic incident to your dashcam portal, but when I attempt to do so I receive a message indicating that the video is too big. Your tech specifications give an upper limit of 500mb, but my video is only 100mb. What do you advise?

I’ve co-authored a new report with Andy Pike for the @BennettInst, @CURDSNewcastle and Insights North East on the ‘geography of financial distress’ in England’s authorities.

Our analysis shows that authorities forecast a £9.3 billion shortfall by 2026-27:

@_paullangley I can’t tell you that, but my main conclusion from what’s not there is that some universities are better at batting back FOIs than others 😉

The most hilarious result in the Tory leadership contest today would be if Cleverly went out, Jenrick and Badenoch through to the final two. I don't see how it's possible, but with this Tory party, I wouldn't totally dismiss the idea.

Ofgs. Another rowback.
And how cringe is this: 'Heathrow are having to expand their VIP section in the middle of October to accommodate the number of high net worth people coming... [to the 'investment summit].'

[Sam Freedman @Samfr]

98% of the adult cares homes closed to protect people from harm were run by for profit companies. And 90% of children's homes.

Time to end this absurdity. Core public services should not be cash cows for private equity.

[Tom Clark @prospect_clark]

Non-doms, senior public servants & private schools doing great job of persuading the Treasury why mooted tax rises on them wouldn’t work

Doubt families affected by 2-child limit & frozen housing allowance have same chance to protest unworkability of their endless impoverishment

Labour embroiled in new 'cash for jobs' row after revelation a businesswoman was handed top civil service job after her firm donated thousands to the party | Daily Mail Online. Labour were warned how damaging sleaze stories would be but have done zilch https://t.co/mwH24IvShx

[Andrew Leyshon @AndrewLeyshon]

@roathboy Yes, but Opta Computer predicts Cardiff will be bottom (!) and a number of podcasts have them no higher than 18th, and that’s taking the new signings into account. Cardiff outperformed their data last year in getting to mid table 😬

This is good on the actual limits Labour face on spending (and what people get wrong about Truss) https://t.co/426uZ7G133

[James Meadway @meadwaj]

Incidentally, this is the key to what has just happened with 2 child cap - Treasury control. The vote came down to a demand that HMT regain and reinforce its autonomy over fiscal policy, its authority in government and therefore its authority over Labour… 1/n

@RoryCormac So many questions … what do the horizontal lines represent? Mean, Median? Is it contextualised by School and Faculty?

[Music Ally @MusicAlly]

Taylor & Francis faces backlash from authors over a $10m AI deal with Microsoft. Authors claim they weren't informed or given opt-out options. This situation mirrors potential issues for music rightsholders with AI deals.

That’s all very well, but perhaps a focus on the order number would improve accuracy in after-sales: we have had 2 unsuccessful deliveries of replacement seat interiors, the first being too big, the second too small. I’d prefer less personalisation and greater efficiency tbh.

[Sofas & Stuff @sofasandstuff]

Did you know that each piece of furniture crafted in our Preston factory is known by the customer name rather than an order number? Just another personal touch which makes the process even more special 💙
