How about, we invest in “at the gate” services and then clear women’s prisons of all short stay offenders. Reckon that could transfer some women estates to male and maybe free up 2500 spaces. Corston Report 2012. …and a project I worked on that stopped reoffending by 80%

Feeling relieved that there are no local elections in our area. I would never not vote so not having to make the choice between bad and even worse candidates is joyous.

Government has published one of those quiet but important documents that might get overlooked as it is not 'newsy'. The headline finding is that £1 of public R&D investment generates £8 in net economic benefits for the UK over the long term www.gov.uk/government/p...

Failing in my attempt to be a digital nomad. Circumstances mean having to base ourselves in Cornwall for a couple of weeks. Lack of connectivity here has scuppered all virtual meetings. Surely the UK should have reached peak super fast broadband coverage by now?

Please help me! I’m on X because that’s where my paintings sell. I shift about 95% of my work there. If I could just get my followers up to the same level here, it would release me from the swamp. I live in the middle of nowhere so I rely on social media to share & show my work.

Lots to like in McFadden’s speech on public sector reform. Two things stood out for me. 1) the need for greater risk appetite. Innovation requires tolerance of failure and willingness to flex in response. Ultimately that is on ministers. They need to walk the walk

I may be well into my 50s but 1 December better bring an advent calendar. Of course no one can stop me having chocolate first thing every day of the year, but that would be bizarre. In December though….

Jag ad. Genuinely bemused - it’s certainly got column inches but will that translate to sales? Seems to fly in the face of sensible targeting - can’t see this appealing to the traditional Jag buyer. Will those who like it have the deep pockets needed?
