    [Politics] The Labour Government

    Is that evidence-based? There are a huge number of jobs in media and it looks like a few clubs could do with people who know about finance. Your proposing a production driven model. How about developing young people who are interested and excited about what they are learning who then go on to be...

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    Yes, and it gets worse when you factor in an increased number of people in a class, especially when a significant number can't adequately communicate in English.

    I don't think young people, or the country, get very good value from university now.

    [Misc] What Book are you Currently Listening To?

    I've listened to Robert Rankin's far fetched fiction read by Mr Rankin quite a bit recently. I now have a lot of running joke catch phases if you know what I mean, and I think you do. Great for getting ready for sleep, and things of that nature, which I haven't been good at for decades. The...

    [Albion] Your football ancestry

    Born at Southlands and I think my father attended a game at the Goldstone on the same day. It was my sister who took me to my first game at the Goldstone, probably with trouble maker friends of hers.

    [Misc] Kemi Badenoch confirmed as new Tory leader

    The proud scouser with an apprentice degree, Gillian Keegan, managed to lose a 22500 majority here. I think the local constiuency reason for electing a Liberal was that Ms Keegan was not very good at anything. I think the electorate here was reasonably well pissed off with the Conservatives...

    [Misc] Retirement

    That's roughly what I have been doing. You have to account for your emploers contributions to not go over the annual allowance. You are at the mercy of what any goverment might decide to do. After a couple of years of living on about half my salary I've come to the conclusion that I don't need...

    [Misc] Retirement

    I'd not realised that was the case, I thought it was just up to the annual allowance and applied to salary scarifice. Thank you for enlightening me. Did they end up sharing the distribution of pension contributions, his partner paying in more?

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    I only know GPs who work in the NHS so my knowledge is limited, but my understanding is that there's quite a difference in being a salaried GP or a partner. There's a recruitment problem with GPs, it would seem like a good time to pilot NHS GPs integrated with social care, MH, etc. perhaps as...

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    I do wonder why GPs are mostly outside the NHS, perhaps a throwback to the foundation of the NHS itself. I would have thought that directly employing GPs rather than contracting services could be used to improve the efficiency/productivity of the NHS as well as being able to deliver more...

    Surprisingly, yes this is actually true (if you want to believe qualitative league tables). We are up there with NZ. This is most likely in spite of Friend of the Earth Steve.

    I wasn't suggesting that at all. But I do care about animal welfare hence I rather foolishly made that observation.
