Outrageous! Can’t he and his staff just roll around on the floor like normal office workers?

Bloody hell! So sorry that you are having to deal with this - UK Govt urgently needs to wake up to what is going on on ‘X’

A lot of the terms in the immigration debate... cheap foreign labour and "unskilled workers" vs "the brightest and the best" with whom they're contrasted... also illustrate what the people using them think about British people at different income levels

rly interesting, thanks! Was at a Chatham House seminar recently on Labour's first year of FP & found it slightly depressing/myopic that focus was entirely on getting a good deal out of Trump, with no reflection on long-term implications of the increasingly extreme direction of the US

do u think there should be more think tank energy on this topic?

Feels like a detailed vision of progressive alternative to US vassalage (covering eg tax coordination, climate, gaza) is lacking - particularly given relationship between economic & foreign policy in a globalised economy

Thanks… I’m sure its legally/ethically/economically complicated but surely fiduciaries should be at least seriously interrogating whether investing in the success of the company under Musk’s leadership is in their members’ interests - lots that funds could do short of full on divestment

interesting piece! I would foresee a tax paid by all Londoners in exchange for free travel on the tube and buses only not being incredibly popular in South East London.

It’s also ‘interesting’ how people raising this point are increasingly happy to make claims about hereditary iq & genetics in reference to educational or economic underperformance of other groups
