Remote work doesn't thwart productivity. It boosts focus. Data: Government workers are 12% more productive when randomly assigned to work from home. They're more efficient where it's quiet. Most people aren't shirking from home. They're escaping distractions and long commutes.

How it started...

Still need to speak with someone @Official_STFC about this...

“We’ll take the world-class scientific community we have here and be the partner they need to get to the next level.” @peterkyle sets out his priorities to maximise the UK’s potential in science and tech to grow the economy, transform public services and improve people’s lives👇

Another reminder that land doesn’t elect governments and these geographic results maps can look very misleading:

@CieslaMike @barrett17tom @IanvRogers He's been played as a central midfielder for them - and done very well - so I don't think he solves that problem for us, though flexibility is useful.

Obviously teams like Crawley and Crewe over-performed, while Gillingham, Salford, Bradford and a few other bigger budgets also failed (some worse than us), but it was always a long shot with our resources. Rebuilding started in January and the interim manager makes some sense...

If I were planning a PR retcon of #STFC's rubbish season, it would be that we didn't want to risk our more modest budget competing with the likes of Wrexham, Stockport, Mansfield, et al. and decided this year would be a better bet to give it a proper go. But you can't say that.😏

I'm in a Teams meeting again and, just like every time, it reminds me that if I had to regularly use Teams I would probably quit my job in annoyance and frustration. How was such a terrible piece of software was allowed out into the world? Why do I need to use it?

This is an interesting graph. Shows that tax isn't as progressive as it says it is, but is actually a lot more 'equitably' distributed than people probably think...in terms of percentages anyway.
