@sturdyalex.bsky.social @quietriotpod.bsky.social deep dive on UK income tax? Raising thresholds is too costly & salary sacrifice/allowances have too much admin. Regular people can't offset tax like firms. Time for a tax credit scheme (e.g. gym)? Cheaper, less admin.

@sturdyalex.bsky.social your podcast made me realise something which I can’t believe no one has discussed The USA has an ambassador to the EU despite hating its guts right now The uk has one for the USA why is it the uk doesn’t have one for the EU despite wanting to get closer

Folks, if AI wipes out humanity, it won't be because it's a hypergod that decided we don't matter. It's because it's shit software that idiots put in charge of critical systems.

This headline might give you the wrong impression, right wing commentators may leap to the wring conclusion - this is not a failure of modelling the climate crisis, it’s the success of renewable energy, pulling down the worst case temperature rise - by a whole degree. buff.ly/gjCN8AX

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

@davidallengreen.bsky.social with America there is something most commentators miss. For decades they’ve wondered why institutions in many European nations struggled with poor productivity and complicated bureaucracy We were told that American culture is more fundamentally more efficient

@sturdyalex.bsky.social why don’t those workers stand their ground ? Seems resigning and then letting a toddler take over their job role isn’t much better than having done what DOGE asked of them.

@vivamjm.bsky.social www.bbc.com/news/article... Brexit means Welsh government will now have to pay £40 million pounds a year for 30 years Just for a tiny section of this road, because the EU money used to fund the other sections was no longer available since Brexit £2 billion in total

It has taken 23 years and cost almost £2bn, but the major road will be finished later in 2025.

@vivamjm.bsky.social comms around Brexit changes are a mess. Eu/Uk/Irish Gov and Ferry companies websites fail to say you need to do tapeworm when entering Ire from UK We had people in customs who had paid UK vet to do the needed medicine who’s vet didn’t even know about the tapeworm Shocking

@vivamjm.bsky.social visited the U.K. last month. Latest Brexit denial is Premier Inn blaming lack of orange juice on “global shortages” when reality is their unwillingness to pay. Same as when you hear “unexpectedly high call volume”

@sturdyalex.bsky.social could this be the latest sign of a shift in policy by Labour. Lived in Portugal for 5 years, most I ever saw U.K. government drum trade was at tech events or film festivals (your guess as good as mine) This year they decided to promote lamb at the supermarkets

Something I haven’t seen a lot of discussion about on blue sky is how does it prevent impersonation amongst high profile people. It looks like they have already reserved the usernames of people such as the president of Ukraine, smart!
