Knowing a bit about the ‘stakeholder engagement’ process, I don’t think it’s an easy task to balance all those voices and work out where the truth lies (and where govt is prepared to take to the hit to advance its priorities), but not listening to external voices will certainly make policies worse

The analogy made my head spin, but within seconds I thought, yeah he’d have talked Merry and Pippin into ploughing their savings into Crypto. Sam would’ve been talked into it too, but Frodo stopped him.

I think it might be the other way round - there are many (most?) CEOs etc who are very cagey about politics, it’s the few who express strong views publicly who get the attention (and are prominent in the sense of sticking out).

I agree the Brexit process was very poorly handled, but probably not for the same reasons as Marshall

“We wanted to be governed from Westminster and not from Brussels, for good reasons” - ironic given it’s a complaint about how Westminster governs

Just make sure you put the story of the punching on LinkedIn in an honest, vulnerable, yet somehow uplifting way. Bonus points for including what it taught you about starting a business.

I remember there being a lot in 1066 and All That about the Normans overrunning places with ‘fire and the sword’, so that tracks

I never know exactly how to read favourability polls. Rayner’s net position is pretty similar to Farage’s, and look how well Reform are polling. She could theoretically pull back Labour to Lib Dem/Green switchers (I mean, I agree starting with a more popular leader would help).

Having some understanding of your kids’ strengths and weaknesses is probably a good thing (although my kids are still small, so let’s see how objective I am later), but I wouldn’t tell an interviewer about it!

Looking simply from a business perspective, I don’t think employers want to be in the position of policing what toilets people want to use, and I worry about the potential for conflict in the workplace over this.

My issue is I was coming from London, which is about as dry as it gets in the UK - SW is one of the wettest, but Bristol drier than Cornwall/Devon weather.metoffice.gov.uk/learn-about/...
How much does it rain in the UK?
Find out how much rain we get in the UK and where gets the most rainfall.

The entire house buying process seems to be about how much you want it/how long you can be arsed to wait to check whether the windows installed 15 years by a previous owner were properly signed off. Maybe if you could automate the solicitors who only ever answer half the questions in a email…

I once heard one of his speechwriters talk about the build up to ‘Mr Gorbachev tear down this wall’, and it was clear it was a mixture of the speaker having a strong personal view and great speechwriters. Our current leaders don’t seem to have that combo.
