"The environment unit, which has more than 700 full-time equivalent roles, will be reduced by 130 to 150. Four of its nine research focuses will not continue"

Shame it's a stinking, road-hogging and ugly fossil-guzzling RAM tank. I'd rather they didn't build them here. Or anywhere.

Jacob Rees-Mogg like Rishi Sunak has registered all his assets in tax havens, because they don't 'belong' to him in the UK they aren't taxed here.
So his tax bill is negligible, he doesn't need to leave to dodge tax.
This con needs to be stopped.

The only way to fix the childcare system is to get rid of the profit motive. And that includes “not for profits” who use the “profit” to expand their holdings.

I have zero expectations for LNP - and they exceed those expectations every day.
I did however have some expectations for Labor - and I now feel completely betrayed.

Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024.
Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion.
