@newsagents.bsky.social, As a Chartered Mechanical Engineer and software developer I must take issue with your podcast's use of the term Engineer. The people headlined cannot by any measure be classed as Engineers.

It is refreshing to see a UK government minister resign on a matter of principle. I'm disappointed to see international aid cut, but understand the government is having to deal with difficult times.

In 2023 the Tories in Nuneaton signed the @NBBCouncil up to a deal with Really Local Group to provide a cinema. @NBBCouncil & their auditors are refusing to provide details of that deal. I am very worried as 5 other failed ventures have burned around £12 million.
