Repeat after me, slowly: there is no money saved from cancelling HS2, so it can’t be reallocated. The funding was borrowing against future HS2 ticket revenue…

Have had two kids go through state schools, and spent a decade on academy trust boards. The idea that The Times leads on a tiny fall in numbers in private schools, when the funding crisis in the system that educates 94% of our kids gets no coverage boggles the mind.

Why? Reading have already been fined points in three successive seasons, and the failures are personal to the owner - not the club. The club ceased overspending years ago - they are getting no sporting advantage. Why the sporting penalty?
The EFL wanted
#readingfc
to be deducted four points immediately, not two.
They really don't care about us, do they?

There is no equivalence between a percentage of people on a largely peaceful march saying things that many of us find offensive, and a bunch of people attacking others - especially the police - on Whitehall on Armistice Day.
Remembrance weekend is a time for us to come together as a nation and remember those who fought and died for our freedoms.
The unacceptable scenes today disrespect their memory.

Situation at P&O looks very murky to me. The combo of TUPE law, redundancy law and the ban on replacing staff in a dispute with agency workers would almost certainly render this move illegal onshore. This kind of practice is not what agency labour is for… (1/2)

You might say strange bedfellows. I would say we both know what works practically in real workplaces. And this idea won't.

I will say it again for the hard of hearing - won't work, isn't supported by agencies or agency workers.
EXCL: Ministers will this week change the law to allow striking workers to be replaced temporarily by agency staff.

This has finished me off. I was at every game & event in this video. I lost my best mate last year far too soon - Reading was where we had our adventures. We carry the departed with us. It means something. Hate is a strong word, best used rarely. But I hate that man.

This is the end. Two of our own, the rock on which we were supposed to rebuild, pulled from the team without the knowledge of what coaching staff we have left. A wasteland.

Let me be very clear. If the Government thinks businesses support having no-win-no-fee lawyers in their internal dispute, grievance and disciplinary procedures rather than their own staff of Trade Union reps accompanying employees, they don’t know what they are talking about.

I'm with her. As men in business our job is to call out this wherever we see it - not to claim it is unrepresentative. We need to be allies in making it a thing of the past.
If even half of what’s been written about this event is true, it is deplorable. We want our young women to feel confident and respected in all walks of life. We can and must do better than this.

John - don't be one of those Tories that doesn't believe an opposition should exist... the PMs letter concedes the point, as the advice was as KS said it was. That the Government was wrong on the status of Covid-19 in the country at that point is not a strength.

Will never happen. What happens if they test positive? What if they refuse? And, most importantly, why the hell should any biz destroy productivity & antagonise staff by invading private lives like this? If they are drug-affected at work, companies can already deal with this.

The challenge of proposals around strike law - as with reg 7 & agency work last year - is that moving quickly in response to a single dispute leads to poor outcomes. The aim of laws should be channel and resolve such conflicts - because attempts to eliminate them will fail (1/2)

I have been a school governor for over a decade. The idea that the PM is trying to sell record funding for schools is laughable. Every year is a struggle to make ends meet without damaging kids’ experience. Say that when we are getting more per pupil in real terms.

Lots of chat about the BCC move to have a national biz council today. Sure it will help them, but let’s be clear. A pay-for-play offer for 20-odd large businesses is not 600 elected FDs and CEOs and 150 Trade Associations making policy. Big risk of balkanising the biz voice.
