Boots and John Lewis just announced big job cuts so I'm assuming that they were hoping for better news yesterday

The hand written table is just bizarre. Surely its more difficult to track national pandemic testing with pen and paper than even with Notepad or something. It's a long article and worth a read. quote:"It was a risk," says one senior source. lol quote:That target was the second fateful decision: from that point most of the focus in Whitehall was on hitting 100,000 as quickly as possible. yeah who cares if the tests are accurate, we just need to do lots of them

https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/starmer-backlash-compulsory-racial-bias-training-498977quote:Keir Starmer facing a backlash over compulsory bias training that turns out to be a 20-minute online course But last October in Brighton: 3 hour training sessions were held. https://events.labour.org.uk/event/282683 quote:Training events on unconscious bias will be taking place on Thursday 17 October and Wednesday 23 October from 6pm - 9pm at the Friends’ Meeting House, Ship Street, Brighton BN1 1AF. This important training is being run twice to allow for the maximum possible take-up, so please do attend one of these sessions if you can. (The second session is on 23 October.) So I know obviously that training would have to be online but having sat through a many-hours online workshop with online 'breakout rooms' etc just a couple of weeks ago, it is possible to have a pretty good online training session not just watch a video of 20 minutes. Are Brighton CLP (I don't know if 'Pavilion' is a CLP or Branch) still personas non grata in the Labour party?

We must foster open and liberal debate by expunging leftists from academia https://twitter.com/jdportes/status/1281164551778639872 It's funny but it's also absolutely what all these "cancel culture is a blight" people really mean.

The sensible grownups are here to tell you that that the coalition were right, government spending is just like a household budget. Never mind the national credit card, we've just taken out a national second mortgage, it's going to be rough I tells ya! Doesn't bode well for when Sunak announces austerity 2 - thisa time it'sa personal.

To the far right, empathy for other people different to you might as well be a superpower, and to the authoritarians, the idea that a generation of kids would develop it spontaneously is impossible. It MUST be a brainwashing plot, enacted by the professors. Triple parentheses on "professors" if they're really showing their whole rear end.

How the hell are Boots justifying job losses? They’ve been one of the few places still open selling medication during a pandemic and their shelves were cleaned out as we entered lockdown, probably giving them their biggest sales boom outside Christmas. Urely they didn’t have their business surviving on sandwich sales to office workers?

The vast majority of Boots' profits are from food, drink and beauty products, and not many people have been going out of their way to pick up a mediocre sandwich and sunblock at lunchtime.
