"With your convictions and mine"? The French word "conviction" doesn't have the double meaning that it has in English... Still, interesting choice of words.
Congratulations, President @realDonaldTrump. Ready to work together as we did for four years. With your convictions and mine. With respect and ambition. For more peace and prosperity.

Featured: Public sector wages may be somewhat higher compared to private sector wages -but is there really a long-time pay gap? @fpvinay @EconUCL explains what points to consider in this comparison: ‘Does it pay to be a public-sector employee?’ wol.iza.org/articles/does-it…

Slightly random weekend tweet for those interested in guitars out there: I had never played a Rick before, came across this reasonably priced beauty, and now I can’t put it down! It’s awesome and super versatile. Why aren’t these guitars more popular?

So, here we have a Brent councilor publicly encouraging people to break traffic laws, on the grounds that he found a way to get away with it…

Headlines today trumpet the record high number of job vacancies in the UK. Labor market tightness, though, is only just back to pre-pandemic levels. It's still early days, but the recent data can also be read as an outward shift of the Beveridge curve, which is never good news.
