🚨🚨European leaders must stop calling #Russian attacks “hybrid,” according to Estonia's FM. They are “terror attacks” and “sabotage attacks,” says Margus Tsahkna and part of a systematic Russian effort against Europe that amounts to “some kind of war." www.politico.eu/article/esto...

John Healey will, according to reports, head into the Budget with a £4bn to £6.5bn chunk of his fiscal headroom having mysteriously gone walkabouts. The cause? A sharp drop in immigration to the UK. Almost as though migrants aren’t all just wandering around devouring taxes for shits and giggles.

Net Migration if Falling - now the Treasury needs to Pay the Bill for it.

After years of promising that fewer migrants would relieve pressure on Britain, Labour is discovering that cutting migration also means cutting workers, taxpayers and economic headroom.

Every time I return to Paris, I notice they've done more to reclaim streets from drivers and cars, including removing on-street parking, protecting cyclists from drivers, and prioritizing pedestrians and cyclists in shared spaces. Other cities can learn a lot from Paris.

My talk in Edinburgh on 30th October at Lean Agile Scotland leanagile.scot On being serious and being expert in a time of AI slop and misinformation

Agile and modern project management have given us powerful ways to collaborate: workshops, retrospectives, participatory exercises, visualisations and increasingly sophisticated approaches to stakeholder engagement. But what happens when the problem itself demands a different kind of engagement?
Over the past few years, Alastair Somerville has worked with organisations including the Design Council and Royal Academy of Engineering on Beyond Net Zero and climate crisis projects. Working with citizens, activists and professionals has challenged a familiar assumption: that engagement is more effective when it is playful, energising and collaborative.
This talk explores seriousness as an engagement method—and what Agile and project leaders can learn from it. When stakes are high, people may need different forms of facilitation to express disagreement; less simulation and more access to expertise and decision-makers; and clearer proof that their participation will affect outcomes.
Drawing on public consultation, climate projects and a decade of workshop practice, Alastair will explore how we can design engagement that matches the complexity and consequences of the problems we are trying to solve.

Reform is the richest party in Britain. Its leaders are almost all millionaires. It is funded almost exclusively by billionaires. It has a supportive TV station and widespread media backing. So naturally, this donation comes with the usual attack on "elites". www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
