Properly and appropriately searing criticism of Jenrick by @stephenkb.bsky.social in his newsletter this morning. Jenrick is obsessed with skin colour as a supposed signal of integration. There's a word for people like that.

Can anyone recommend a non alcoholic beer that doesn’t taste like a child’s chemistry experiment?
And please don’t mention the dreadful Lucky Saint that appears to have colonised so many bars.

Yet she presided over the supply of non sterilised gowns?
It seems her OCD could be overcome with sufficient millions of our money.

I remember being told that the Big 4 lost money on audits (hence did them badly) but that the audit work was an entry point for selling consultancy and other more profitable services to clients.

There is no evidence that a wealth tax would cause significant capital flight or that it would do so to an extent that would render the tax ineffective in raising substantial revenues. Such a tax is popular across the wealth distribution in the UK, as our figures show: @patmillsuk.bsky.social

B&NES Council’s planning committee has blocked plans for a major solar farm, despite the local authority declaring a climate emergency

Planning committee member Councillor Paul Crossley (Southdown, Liberal Democrat) said the scheme was “just far too large, far too impactful on the rural landscape.”

Plans for major solar farm near Bath refused over landscape harm

People in neighbouring Burnett said their landscape would be “blighted with an industrial scale eyesore”.
