David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 30/09/2026But I thought AI was going to wipe out all these entry-level white-collar jobs? 021
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Liking the cut of your jib @johnmct.bsky.social @financialtimes.com #socialcare 030
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Fair enough for @thetimes.com to delight in a rival’s, er, discomfort - but did it need to put FOUR reporters on the case? 151
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 02/09/2026So Guardian Jobs is closing. It’s truly the end of an era when Society (Weds), Education (Tues) & Media (Mon) kept @theguardian.com going and job ads funded great journalism - some of it in the supplements themselves. Sad. 1199
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Just wait until Linda Snell finds out what David Archer is up to now #TheArchers @thecidershedpod.bsky.social 4141
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 29/07/2026People in social care may be getting a little ahead of themselves, I fear 020
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Oh dear - it’s health AND SOCIAL CARE secretary, Yvette. The PM has been telling us how important it is … 210
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Companies like Coca-Cola, Nestlé & Danone paying virtually nothing to extract English spring water for bottling - extraordinary revelation in @theobserveruk.bsky.social 044
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Outstanding journalism from @annaisaac.bsky.social The old Graun can still do it 072
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Apparently serious response to @theobserveruk.bsky.social ring-round on policy on dogs in offices. Anything on deep background? 100
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Thin-skinned & combative. Wasted opportunity to discuss valid concerns about BBC coverage of, and arguably part in, Starmer’s demise. 140
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Kind of neat that Noddy Holder (80) tops today’s @thetimes.com birthday list and Xi Jinping (73) brings up the rear 030
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Any mention of more occupational therapists? Pound for pound the key role if the gov’t is to deliver its shift from hospital to community 140
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Thought my @theobserveruk.bsky.social was chunky - then found its 48-page listing of all last week’s London Marathon finishers’ times. All hail M Liu whoever you are … 020
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Should we be surprised any longer that the BBC website is leading with this opinion piece during an elections campaign? 021
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Quite the obituary - includes the wonderfully euphemistic ‘During the marriage both parties had, to a greater or lesser degree, enjoyed the attentions of the opposite sex’ @thetimes.com 100
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Interviews with rock gods are not what they were … Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson in @theipaper.com 110
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Congratulations Tony Gallagher - your mission to turn The Times into the Daily Mail is now complete 141
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Sadly and no doubt due to pressure of space @thetimes couldn’t find a more prominent slot for this ad than p34 opposite the obituaries 011
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 24/03/2026The unique & irrepressible @clentonf.bsky.social battles through tech problems to tell a @local.gov.uk seminar that social care reform must be all about Place, Power (for the individual) & Possibility 011
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 18/03/2026RIP Tom Georgeson aka Detective Harry Naylor in Between the Lines - still the best TV police drama ever. I shall be taking no questions. 093
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 28/02/2026I get that Labour is the main story but if we’re talking humiliation then the Tories losing their deposit surely merits more than one sentence of nine words buried in six pages of news and analysis 142
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 27/02/2026‘We’re gonna need a harp for that track.’ ‘Just book a session guy.’ ‘OK, boss’ - Warren Zevon, Sentimental Hygiene (1987) 010
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Median average pay of social care workers now £12.60/hr - still a full £1 below NHS Band 3 health care assistants with two years’ experience. Imperative that planned Fair Pay Agreement for social care addresses pay progression not just starting rate. @skillsforcare.bsky.social 000
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 22/02/2026Wonder if Yaxley-Lennon knows his US bankrollers laugh at him behind his back. Per Simon Kuper @ftweekend.com 010
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 21/02/2026Most confusing to read a letter responding to an article that turns out to be in the same paper. Presumably it ran online earlier? @thetimes.com 000
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Ouch. Even before his arrest. Those whom The Times deemed worthier of listing today include model David Gandy,singer Seal and @bethrigby.bsky.social 020
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 18/02/2026Deeply touched to receive personalised special offer and free gift from, er, Pure Cremation. On Ash Wednesday too! 130
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 04/02/2026Strategic re-set, you say? A black day for @washingtonpost.com and for journalism 130
David Brindle @brindled.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Appreciating this attention to detail @pickardje.bsky.social @financialtimes.com 010
