Elvis is spot on here. A lesson for leaders in general. I’m enjoying what he is achieving at Dundee.
Got to credit @DanAbrahams77 here for making me aware of this piece of absolute coaching gold dust ⭐️ Listen up and take heed of this coaches, because this is the best lesson you’ll learn today 🙌🏼 #SundayShare @SundayShare10

This morning's official #LabourMarket stats paint a picture of a world where employers are surviving, but not yet thriving. Firms are maintaining jobs, but careful of adding it - notably among smaller firms as @ons note. So much of this caution is fear of what happens next. (1/2)

This makes the Budget a big deal. No more nasty surprises - but maybe also some things that help on regulation, taxation and skills. Read more at cipd.org/uk/about/press-rele… (2/2)

Here’s what reffing for the @OxfordshireRFU taught me about leadership for the @CIPD… (1/billions) lol. Just nice to get back out there after three weeks in the new job to keep a decent game between @DidcotRUFC and @BuckinghamRUFC on the road. @Oxonrugbyrefs

After speaking with hundreds of members, it was great to have our @CIPD team together this week! As we prepare a new strategy, hearing their voices as specialists is important. It's about workplaces that perform, walking by members' side & being relentlessly useful every day.

Annualised UK GDP growth so far in 2026, with two-thirds of the year gone, is 2.7-2.8% Is expected to slow in q4, but that was also expected in q3. And q2. City economists (eg Pantheon) say “we have to shift from describing UK growth as resilient to calling it strong”.

Hey Chancellor, the first principle is to not do anything that derails this.
Fastest rate of UK economic growth for almost four years at 2.1% YoY and a sprightly 0.7% QoQ to the end of August. Construction still firmly in the doldrums (-1.8% YoY) but services, manufacturing, investment & trade all showing decent Q3 momentum.

The role of payroll costs, energy taxes, business rates are all central to the hospitality inflation that the UK can control (it can do relatively little on soft commodity prices). Very clear in the reaction of domestic inflation to the recent employer NICs increase. Zero sum consumption subsidies - funded out of borrowing - are not a sticking plaster, they actually make the problem worse.
“People can’t afford treats anymore” Anoosh Chakelian says the most striking thing about the Labour conference was the price of her meal at Pizza Express.

Modern societies eventually got rid of public executions because of the ongoing influence of Christian morality. Now, a bunch of "Christians" are on here arguing that society has become a little too Christian for them.
