What if there was a consensus on the tax reforms the UK needs?
What if it was backed by policy experts from think tanks across the political spectrum, from the Adam Smith Institute to the Resolution Foundation?
The consensus is real. The question is: will anyone act on it?

Brexit freedoms strike again...
Fortnite is now once again available on iOS in the US (via the App Store following a court ruling), and the EU (via the Epic Games store, which EU law mandates Apple allow as an alternative app store).
And Britain stands alone without Fortnite.

Honestly we deserve it. Permanent decline and poverty. It's what we want apparently. But at least in the hulking industrial ruins the spiders will be happy...
I’m tired of hearing about bats. Do you want to hear a story about jumping spiders and the town that disappeared?
I think I might be breaking this story – do come be the first to read it.

A heartwarming tale of how discovering a bat is actually not threatened at all means we can't build anything anywhere ever.
Since the HS2 bat tunnel is back in the news (turns out it may actually kill the bats), time for one more story.
Which came first – HS2 or the bats?🚄🦇🧵

A lot of the online commentary on WFH is all "I work better from home". That's great, but it's not all about you Dorothy...
A Stanford study of 50K engineers across hundreds of companies found ~9.5% are “ghost engineers” doing little to no work. Rates differ by work setup:
• 14% remote
• 9% hybrid
• 6% in-office
Sadly, this aligns with my 20+ years in tech, where such figures feel all too familiar.

First London Standard edition. Terrible cover but worse is the content. Was hoping for a London "Sunday": in depth local news and analysis. But no, virtually no news, it's basically Timeout plus some fluff. Someone buy this off Evgeny Lebedev and give us a proper London paper.

Honestly looks like Elon is having a breakdown. Also twitter won't die and get switched off. It'll get taken over by its lenders and sold to someone less crazy...
