@davidhcwood @afneil Some processes are very effective and hopefully also efficient.

@edP6677 @afneil Only "parts of the DVLA", not the whole organisation. Driving licence renewal is almost instantaneous. I've renewed twice over many years with the same high performance.

@TypeForVictory All faiths, political and spiritual, are ideologies. Anything that encourages or mandates a particular a way of living and organising is an ideology. All ideologies can be objectively analysed and, if necessary, criticised fairly without malice.

Does anyone disagree with this?

There is nothing more certain than uncertainty. Where risk management is professional and effective, surprises should be minor irritations. Well, that's the theory.🤔

@MartinSLewis Uncertainty is real and ever-present. Allow 12-15% contingency for the unexpected.

I believe there is some evidence (from the Netherlands?) that the removal of street furniture is generally safer. It is also costly to install and maintain all this visual clutter. A pilot scheme is needed to test such a hypothesis in the UK, e.g. an entire county or region decluttered and carefully monitored.

Where there’s a will there’s a way.

@tomfgoodwin Maybe something to do with elasticity of demand. We're prepared to pay more for essentials than for trivia.

@s8mb It was only achievable with a focus upon apartments. This country's obsession with houses ensured that the policy was doomed from day one.

@faisalislam That word “austere” is really multifaceted. It should mean government spending without further indebtedness, coupled with significant debt reduction measures. But in common parlance it appears to mean ‘not spending generously’.

@FraserNelson An excellent podcast interview. One of the best I have seen. A clear exposition of both the problem (of excess welfare) and its solution. Without the latter, Britain's social contract will dissolve.

Thanks to Fraser, @Simmons__ and @spectator.

The old argument, which may still be true, was that the commercial sector created great and often 'highbrow' content precisely because of the BBC's existence, i.e. the Corporation ran exemplary training schemes and set high production standards.

The fall of the BBC could precipitate a race to the gutter. History will be the judge.

Fair enough Andy. However, this was an opportunity to create an all-electric car without any need to directly reference the front-engined ICE vehicles of yesteryear. Why the long front end? Why the imitation front grill? Those features make no sense. Add in the price and impracticality and we’re left with a dud. A lost opportunity. Farewell Jaguar!👋

Sadly, I don’t think the UK Foreign Office would agree to swap foreign aid for remittances (despite the huge economic benefits), because it removes their ability to use aid for political purposes. It also leaves them with no money to pursue boondoggle, performative ‘aid’ projects.

This thread is a good example of the clash between the quest for clicks and responsible journalism. It presents a significant PR challenge for Southeastern (SE Trains Ltd).

@GazTheJourno @Telegraph Sorry that is no where near good enough Gareth.

You edited that part out of our quote out of the front page of today’s Telegraph.

You have unleashed social media hell on my hard working team by presenting the ‘facts’ to create a sensationalist story.

I have no words…

@SebJohnsonUK I really hope they succeed, although £50M won't go very far.

Consumers are paying the price for an electricity grid that can't yet handle the volume of clean and renewable energy coming online.

Our new report highlights most of the UK's planned £70bn grid upgrades for 2030 are still in the early stages: https://t.co/2zvLJ0Lx2Z

@_brianpotter @AndyMasley When I moved to Ireland in the 1990s, I noticed that many people did this quite naturally during conversation.🍀 It's both disarming and endearing.
