Sharing this (pay wall free) article again in light of posts about 24 hour work e mails. Comments afterwards emphasised the right corporate culture over ‘easy fixes’ like fruit at meetings. Stress and burnout: an FT investigation via @FT

Another view.
@FT describes how Ukraine is delivering sophisticated weaponry at much lower cost than the US, Finland is training people in drone skills.
The UK bought aircraft carriers (£6bn), unusable Ajax (£5.5bn) and nuclear deterrent (£50bn)
Does the MoD need more cash🤔

No. VAT is a tax on final consumption. Businesses remit it; consumers bear it.
OECD says VAT is “ultimately paid by the end consumer”.
Benedek/de Mooij/Keen/Wingender find standard-rate VAT increases have ~100% final pass-through to consumer prices.

Feargal Sharkey brands '£100billion' cost of nationalising water 'nonsense'.
Spot on.
They inflate investment by capitalising part of interest, repair/maintenance cost.
Govt says Thames Water is worth £21bn. KKR wouldn't pay £4bn.
Nationalise water.

Look what’s been built in Cardiff for swifts. My niece sent me these photos and said the structure was alive with birds. Heartening to see. It’s shaped like a swift in flight I think. Other towns have created similar swift nest sites including Exeter. Thank you for caring.

This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby @denbypottery
