While traditional employers with 19th century prejudices screen for outdated markers like prestigious university degrees, extensive relevant experience, or basic competence, I drove excellence for my team by looking for the key intangibles you can't find on a resume and hiring the CEO's nephew.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t you try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

Ukrainians are struggling to find suitable homes and jobs due to rules around visa extensions. This isn't right. The UK should be a safe, secure and welcoming place for Ukrainians fleeing Putin's war.

So now we have new 25% Trump tariffs on cars from overseas and I'll remind us all again, if we were in a deep goods alignment arrangement with the EU, it would wipe out the negative impact of this entirely, and grow GDP by 1.5% Insanity not to prioritise EU. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I keep thinking this lot can’t go any lower, but they always do. Honour, integrity, character, dignity, self-respect, respect for country, service, count for nothing. Greed, ambition, entitlement, arrogance. No shame. No limits. No principles. They debase everything. I despise them.

The Labour leadership has lost sight of the difference between 'positive reasons' to vote for a party and 'negative reasons' not to vote for it Labour is working overtime to avoid giving its target voters reasons not to vote for it - but isn't giving people a reason to vote for it

We could do with a bit more of this. I thought when Trump won, he’s got everything now: White House, both houses, Supreme Court. Let’s see how he does. The most cursory glance at his CV proves he’s TERRIBLE at running anything. Why should the US be any different? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Jeez this is awful. Resolution Foundation warns changes to rules for PIP disability benefit could cost up to 1.2m people between £4,200 and £6,300 a year. What is this government thinking? Has it gone completely mad? www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

If they were doing this plus supporting more people on incapacity benefit into work it would be a great package. Ruined by the HMT imposed PIP cuts that have nothing to do with work and will put huge numbers into poverty.

This is absolutely shocking if true. A government's treatment of its most vulnerable citizens is a key indicator of its humanity and the strength of its social fabric. Enough is enough

If you cut foreign aid, you are hurting the vulnerable. If you cut or freeze PIP & other disability benefits, you are hurting the vulnerable. The recipients can’t push back, & have little power to resist. If you increase wealth taxes, you’re not going to hurt anyone. But the rich, push back

"The whole point about a secret agent is that he is not obvious about his allegiance: at all times, he must seek to disguise it [and] kompromat only works by exploiting a target's fear of shame. Trump is a man incapable of shame." 'Krasnov' is plausible, but this remains a readier explanation imo.

In vast areas of the US, the sentiments expressed in this wonderful letter from a British man about why it's a privilege to pay tax to enable the National Health Service to run would see him probably certified as insane and labelled a "socialist".
