Pity Farage wasn’t asked about this - he should be forced to own it @bbclaurak.bsky.social @theneweuropean.bsky.social

Lots of people commenting on the
So called grooming gang issue in following some “intervention” from the USA

They might want to consider that Starmer left office as DPP with the highest conviction rate for child sexual abuse since records began

I refused to do a management course at Which? because it involved Myers Briggs garbage. The trainer rang me to ask why I didn't want to do it, so I told her it's evidence-free bullshit and about as useful as knowing I'm a Sagittarius Hufflepuff. She wasn't very happy 😁😁
I once worked at a business school on MBAs and they got new students to do a myers briggs during induction, got a consultant guy in to do the tests and went to through all the results.

When I found out that was a thing they did I LAUGHED SO HARD in front of the dude running it.

Didn't get sacked.
The Myers Briggs is astrology for MBAs

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says

“We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants”

Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR

Our paths didn’t quite cross a couple of weeks back at LAS ☹️ but am responding to #paramedic #ambulance interest in value of supervision. And was pleased to do podcast for SECAMB’s @andycollen.bsky.social last week. Don’t think any of it counts as mischief 🙂🤞
