Dear UKMT - what is a left leaning paper that isn�t going to shovel fabricated antisemitism bullshit down my throat?

just read this thread, it breaks news faster than most newspaper websites and isn't as soul draining as trawling through Twitter yourself

Good news everyone! 'Strong Performance' at work is now worth a �1m/yr payrise

National Grid chief gets �1m pay rise for 'strong performance' posted:

Less than two weeks after Britain�s biggest blackout in a decade National Grid has revealed that it handed its chief executive a �1m pay rise over the last financial year to reward his �strong performance.�.

The company�s annual report, published on Monday, shows that John Pettigrew was paid �4.56m for the last financial year, up from �3.65m the year before, for delivering value to shareholders.

The pay-day windfall was revealed as National Grid prepares to publish an interim report on the 9 August blackout which left almost a million homes without electricity, and hundreds of thousands of people stranded in rush-hour travel disruption. The report is due to be released at 7am on Tuesday.

National Grid faces serious questions from the regulator and the government, but has topped up Pettigrew�s �944,000 salary with a bonus of the same size.

Pettigrew, 50, has also received a long-term bonus of almost �2.25m, which is almost �1m more than the �1.5m he was given last year. He also received �283,000 towards a pension and benefits in kind valued at �94,000.

National Grid�s remuneration committee said Pettigrew has �continued to deliver strong performance in his third year in the role� and delivered value to investors and shareholders.

There doesn't appear to be any headline news (yet?) about Johnson today, breaking his 7 day streak and my theory about him running a media campaign.

Given I've posted daily updates of it I feel it's only fair to admit when it doesn't work out.

e; Well Patty is going to chat with the French about brutalising refugees some more, but that's pretty everyday stuff.

you're still good

He literally said "I see number ten as a stepping stone to the white house" back when he was doing his big US tour after he was Mayor of London. Also recent investigations have found he never renounced his US citizenship.

yeah this is BS
