Jeremy Driver @jdriver89.bsky.social · 26/09/2026So I do think there can be a case made for some sort of initial wage subsidy to hire disabled people (particularly in a high minimum wage world) but it's VERY funny to do this after raising employer NICs 020

Jeremy Driver @jdriver89.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Britain's infrastructure problem isn’t that we spend too little compared to our peers. It’s that we get much less for what we spend.

Jeremy Driver @jdriver89.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Natural England says £700m protecting fish at Hinkley isn’t enough, and want more before it can switch on. This is process over outcomes: big delays, higher bills and, crucially, terrible for tackling climate change. This is not a serious way to deliver clean infrastructure. 1269

Jeremy Driver @jdriver89.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Chess by Stefan Zweig is a wonderful novella about an Idiot Savant chess player who is challenged while traveling on a passenger liner. It's a novella about obsession, madness and, of course, chess. It's best summed up in these two quotes. Highly recommended! 010
Jeremy Driver @jdriver89.bsky.social · 31/03/2026Good example of the sort of bind the BBC is regularly in. I sort of instinctively agree with this point, but then if the BBC don't do anything about it and legal action does happen, the Beeb ends up facing questions about what they knew and when. Structurally can't win 010

Jeremy Driver @jdriver89.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Disability pay gap reporting is another great example of this government pursuing policy in two contradictory directions, in that it directly rubs up against their stated policy aim of getting more disabled people into work. 111
