Falling Apart

2nd February 2023 JHLeave a comment

First, Boris Johnson was driven from office because even his own MPs could no longer tolerate his lies. Then we suffered the Liz Truss disaster, resulting in chaos in the markets, threats to pensions, increases in mortgages and rents, and the highest tax burden in 70 years. It’s easy to see how Tory MPs mustContinue reading Falling Apart →

Happy New Year

5th January 2023 JHLeave a comment

I liked the tone of the first Christmas message from King Charles. His emphasis on service and consideration for others, values too many in public life ignore these days, appealed to me. He credited his mother, our late Queen, for encouraging his beliefs. As he talked of light from darkness, a concept common to mostContinue reading Happy New Year →

Fed Up with Footie Politics

1st December 20227th December 2022 LPLeave a comment

The World Cup is our greatest sporting event after the Olympics. It’s usually played in May/June and often an excuse for a few days off work or last-minute purchases of giant TVs. This year it’s in a very hot Qatar just before Christmas, but the weather’s not the only problem. The tournament’s mired in controversyContinue reading Fed Up with Footie Politics →

Lest We Forget

17th November 2022 JHLeave a comment

I’ve been attending Remembrance Sunday events since I was a youngster in the Boys Brigade. It’s one of those things I still look forward to all these years later, unlike some who see world wars as having happened a long time ago and ignore such traditions as belonging in the past and nothing to doContinue reading Lest We Forget →

End this Game of Thrones and let the people decide

27th October 202227th October 2022 LPLeave a comment

I didn’t think I’d be returning to this so soon, but Tory leaders change quicker than football managers these days.   Just six weeks after telling us Liz Truss was the answer, we’re inundated with Tory MPs claiming Rishi Sunak, whom they rejected in favour of Liz Truss, is now the answer.   I wish theContinue reading End this Game of Thrones and let the people decide →

End of an Era

15th September 202223rd September 2022 JHLeave a comment

I had planned to write this week about changes and new beginnings but on Thursday we learned ofthe passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the Second, the cruellest of signs of changing times andsomething many people hoped could be put off. It’s true that, despite average life expectancy for a woman in the UK beingContinue reading End of an Era →

Government feeling heat

26th August 2022 Steve McCabe2 Comments

News last week that Labour had taken a 15-point poll lead, biggest since 2013, may have surprised some but there’s a simple explanation. People have spent the hot summer relieved at not having to think how they’ll cope when winter comes. Later this week Ofgem, the regulator supposed to help consumers, will announce a secondContinue reading Government feeling heat →

Peril of failed outsourcing

19th August 2022 AGLeave a comment

WHAT’S the fascination with outsourcing that makes so many managers and consultants offer it as the solution when they’re asked to make improvements or find savings? Public is not always best but there’s no guarantee private is either. There have been some spectacular government failures with prisons, probation, and tagging of offenders. In Birmingham weContinue reading Peril of failed outsourcing →
