@GMB At long last - joined up NHS patients' data. No piling up of in-patient files underneath beds. No delays to get a patient's case history due to registry unavailability and no longer gaps or conflicting case notes. All in all a seamless patient experience. And pigs will fly!

@GMB what a brilliant interview by Alan Milburn on the factors affecting the inordinate growth of young NEETs. He pinponted the issue as systemic, which needs an overarching industrial strategy to avoid a lost generation.

@GMB The last thing we need in this country is a Zombie PM sitting in office while the Labour Party manufactures an opening for Andy Burnham. It would be disastrous during a period of huge uncertainty, which changes daily.

Labour’s workers’ rights reforms leave over-50s struggling for a job. Changes in the Employment Rights Act affect workers of all ages. However, in practice, some policies may impact older workers more. Almost one million older workers on the scrapheap.

RAF cadet suspended for critical thinking. How times change!
As an officer cadet in the late 80s, I openly debated Islam as a future threat post-Iran/Iraq War without any fear of punishment.
The shift in discourse is massive.

The new era of the Super-Ager comedians who demonstrate that pursuing an active life in their 70s / 80s is still possible. After all, age is just a number, which opens up new opportunities in later life for the Super-Agers.

This is a most damming report into the current state of the Civil Service by a former senior official. In my experience the CS has always been a "curate's egg." A mix of very good and questionable performers who end up as square pegs in round holes.

HMRC wants freelancers to file finances 4x a year. After 25 years self‑employed, that was the final straw for me. More red tape, less reward — and now the Employment Rights Act on top. We’re driving freelancers out.
👉 Speak up before it’s too late.

Why are men finding themselves out of work and on the scrapheap? A structural imbalance in the UK labour market is having an adverse effect on male employment prospects, especially in transitioning from old to new skills. Read on.

HMRC wants freelancers to file their finances four times a year. They’d rather quit, this is the final straw that breaks the camel's back. It is on top of "double squeezing," raising tax rates and drastically cutting the tax-free dividends allowance.

Middle England is trapped in Rachel Reeves’s mansion tax ‘nightmare.’ Her mantra is that "Those with the broadest shoulders should pay fair tax." However, it's another blatant and unfair attack on Middle England's pensioners to suck them dry.

What a dog's breakfast this budget has turned out to be. Benefits street are laughing all the way to the bank while working people are being asked to make a "contribution." It may lift poverty for many, but what incentives are there to work against a ballooning welfare bill?
Let me get this straight, someone on ave. salary £35k a year, WORKING, will now be £1,400 worse off after the budget
BUT someone with 5 kids on benefits NOT working will be £10,000 better off
This is becoming a disgrace. Rewarded for not working, PUNISHED for working

I accept Trump's assertion that European leaders have been asleep on their watch, but two wrongs don't make a right. To submit to a grossly one-sided deal that effectively sacrifices a democratic country's sovereignity is absolutely shameful. It will only embolden Putin further.
I’m ashamed of European leaders even considering the Trump-Russia plan for ending the Ukrainian war!This dishonours Ukraine.European leaders should outright reject it & put forward their own plan which is the withdrawal of Russia from all Ukrainian land&embraces Ukraine in NATO

Interesting research illustrating the divide befween HR and business leaders in terms of regarding wellbeing as a strategic priority. Without board level sponsorship, wellbeing will glitter like a Christmas tree but not be culturally sustainable in the longer term.
96% of HR leaders say employee well-being is a top priority — but only 65% of company owners agree. EBN’s 2025 Workplace Well-being Survey reveals a growing disconnect in how orgs approach wellness. #EmployeeWellbeing #HR #Leadership bit.ly/49ClDAN

Why Humble Leaders Tend to Be the Most Effective Leaders. As a disciple of situational leadership, there is no doubt in my mind that a humble leader is more relatable and empathetic. But, arguably, it is not suitable in all situations as science shows. share.google/OUWajkKbsSj9Y3q…

1 million UK pensioners relying solely on state pension face £1.4k shortfall | MoneyWeek. Effectively, on 22nd November, this cohort will run out of money just to finance the minimum retirement standard of £13.4k. Demographically, a ticking time bomb! share.google/DbnxjO5G1cWj3Hv…

Work design is wellbeing design - how true! This is acutely felt in the retail sector, which is going through unprecedented times where it is being buffeted by the winds of change. This is impacting organisational resilience and staff wellbeing.
