Caerphilly apparently. I honestly, honestly despise this stuff. They have nothing to offer, nothing to say, nothing to hope for, nothing to aspire to, no solutions, nothing. Just hate and lies.

90s gaming wasn’t a hobby.
It was sacred.
Blowing on cartridges. That PS1 startup sound. The chunky gray N64 controller. Memory cards. Nintendo Power. Strategy guides. No internet. No updates. Just you and the game.
We didn’t know it then, but those were the golden days💙🎮

Support this, both for 'why do we have a civil service internship scheme if NOT to broaden the talent pipeline for it' reasons and for 'this is going to produce some truly amazing takes' reasons.
Civil service interns must all be working class, government says

Politico: “A new communications permanent secretary, an old job being brought back by No. 10 to "modernize" comms across Whitehall. One person familiar said the senior civil servant will be in charge of running the comms operation across the entire government's strategic and press team.”
