NEW: I've done an analysis of every time No10 announced a phone call between Boris Johnson and President Zelensky and it's amazing how many have coincided with his worst crises (full disclosure, No10 have told me this thesis is "ludicrous") inews.co.uk/news/politics/ho…

Lessons after 5 startups: Everyone on the team must receive the same facilitation training. Everyone should ideally share facilitation responsibilities. Facilitation processes should be constantly improved Facilitation = the new “strong written & oral communication skills.”

One of western modernity’s greatest cruelties is the fact that couples are expected to raise newborns alone. I’ll never understand it and it really is an impossible thing

HMRC sold 600 state owned office buildings to an offshore company for £220 million. We now pay around £400 million a YEAR to rent some of them back for government use. The ex head of HMRC was in charge and is now in charge of offshore accounts for Deloitte.
