@ProfBrianCox Look, if I wanna see Cillian staring at a massive fusion reaction looking bewildered with incredible music, I’ll watch Sunshine.

I went to see Oppenheimer. It is hard to imagine a film that I disliked more intensely. Apart from Tenet. Positives: acting is fabulous, cinematography beautiful, music a bit overbearing but massive.

@Samfr To be fair, he's hardly the only member of this government who's years in high office have resulted in no actual achievements - and very often things getting appreciably worse.

He was a failure as Brexit Secretary; oversaw the Afghanistan disaster at the Foreign Office; and put forward a garbage human rights Bill that has gone nowhere as Justice Secretary while the court system has crumbled. No high performance culture discernable.

Am going to do a substantive post on Raab and bullying for tomorrow but the idea that his behaviour was necessary to drive performance can be refuted by the absence of a single substantive achievement in 7 years as a minister and 5 in cabinet.

@itvpeston @Moreincommon_ If nothing else, he's correctly identified that the country is shit at maths.

🚨NEW 40% think Rishi Sunak's pledge to halve inflation means the cost of a £1 pint of milk would stay the same or fall, per a new @Moreincommon_ shared exclusively with #Peston 😅 34% correctly identify halving the current rate (~10%) means the price would rise to ~£1.05 ✅

@faisalislam That's a bit rich considering that money has no intrinsic value.

Bailey says crypto “isn’t money”. “For money to fulfil its function as a means of payment it requires stability of value..clearly not true of unbacked crypto. It could be a bet, a highly speculative investment, but note that it has no intrinsic value, so buyer be very aware”

NEW: Governor Andrew Bailey tells bankers at IIF forum in DC that “we do not face a systemic banking crisis” and that the BoE has not altered monetary policy “because of financial instability. That has not happened”…

@Samfr I'm not sure this is true - it's about entry level, maybe a bit above unless you're a top top grad going into one of Apple/Google/Facebook/etc

@Samfr I don't know why the title is so inflated and it is well below market rates - I would estimate it's about 2/3rds the going rate for that role - but it's not the complete joke it's being made out to be.

@Samfr Working in Cyber Security, I have seen much mirth about the Treasury (and a previous GCHQ) ad offering £57k for "Head of Cyber Security" but if you read the description it's for a fairly junior Team Lead.

Even the client journalists must on some level be getting bored of the same shit over and over. "They're doing cruise ships and army barracks for migrants again? We did that in December ffs."

@OwenJones84 That seems much better than not winning the election because political reality has already intruded and history suggests they're the only two options.

Anyway, I don't think it will end well for a Labour leadership which is founded on a load of lies, essentially believes in nothing, and is ahead in the polls solely because of Tory self-destruction. They'll win the election by default, then political reality will intrude.

Jeremy Corbyn’s local party denounces being prevented from having the right to reselect him. This attack on democracy has been led by Keir Starmer, who promised Labour members could always select their candidates - and called Corbyn a friend - when he stood for Labour leader.

@KatieJRogers @WOB74475098 @gayblackvet In fact it should be obvious - If you have 400 people and you shoot at least 1 everyday by the end of the year, you've shot everyone.

@WOB74475098 @gayblackvet It must be wrong - that would mean that everyday ~1 million people are shot in the US or on average everyone is shot every year.

@gayblackvet The shooting statistic seems wrong to me but can't find a number of shootings in the USA statistic (Thanks Congress for banning research in gun violence with federal money \s).

@Samfr A situation made even worse by the new ability to salary-sacrifice up to £60k a year into your pension.

@Samfr This is not just an issue for parents - coupled with self-assessment and tax-free allowance clawback, earning over £100k is mad unless you can jump straight to about £150k.
