I am fully aware of climate change and clearly want a sustainable planet. I am however totally fed up with people who see UK net zero as a panacea for real change. We alone will change nothing, but a localised tick in an isolated box for some to crow over. Real change is global.

HR: “We accidentally paid you $275,000.”
Me: “You didn’t.”
HR: “The money went into your account yesterday.”
Me: “No. It didn’t.”
She turned her laptop toward me.
There was a $275,000 payment under my name.
My employee ID.
My department.
Everything looked right.
Except the bank account.
I stared at it.
Me: “That’s not my account number.”
HR: “Our records say it is.”
Me: “I’ve had the same bank account for six years.”
My manager was sitting beside her.
He leaned back in his chair.
Manager: “Maybe you changed it and forgot to update us.”
I looked at him.
Me: “I think I’d remember opening a bank account I don’t recognize.”
Nobody laughed.
HR folded her hands.
HR: “Until we figure this out, you’re going to need to cooperate with the investigation.”
Me: “Fine. But I want the account frozen.”
HR: “Why?”
SKY will shortly run a programme called ‘WAR GAME’. It’s basically a recreation of what happens when Russia decides to attack the UK. I know no more than seeing the trailer which was thought provoking.
I hope Andy Burnham watches. No time to wear smug face on the front bench.
TFG we expected so much better. This is an unmitigated disaster. I can only point a finger and say you have robbed a loyal fanbase of hope! We are not new to incompetence. We have suffered it for years.
Your credibility is at risk with another lost season. This needs explaining.
What’s happening? Seems a good place for Everton fans as frankly we haven’t a clue. That said TFG will know to the £. SCR needs to be managed and unlike Moshiri TFG will operate prudently within the rules. The kind of transfer activity fans expect depends on growing revenue.

Net Zero is a simple message. The reality is the UK does not exist in a climate bubble. If big fossil fuel users continue then UK Net Zero makes no difference and no sense. Miliband & others are absolutely kidding themselves. We need to focus on how we manage the current outlook.
All politicians should be banned from answering questions with a reference to what the previous government did. Starmer is by far the worst and even as he heads to the exit door he does it again at PMQ’s. You can’t try and justify your own incompetence on someone else’s previous.
I am not going to write anything other than never seen so much hypocrisy from Labour supporters. Labour won the last election because the Tories pretty much did it for them with their stupid infighting. Posts today suggest Labour will follow suite. Nobody wins, everybody loses.
Whoever leads our country.
Statesmanship is not sitting around a table talking with our allies like they give a damn about partnership. It’s ensuring your citizens don’t spend more time in queues at EU airports than the flight time to get there. If they must make the system work

Interview with Zia Yusuf was very poor. Question from LK what was more important the interests of family or political response? Is she trying to make Reform sound insensitive over family wishes. Answer things need to change to stop it happening again. So you try both
