Yes “Tugendhat” is “just different words put together”, ⁦@guardian⁩, because like many other Austrian Jews the family probably had to make up a non-Christian one because Jews weren’t allowed Christian names. Comedy based on antisemitism isn’t funny theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The opening of this article is disgraceful. Yeah, names like Tugendhat aren’t “based on ancient trades” and so presumably aren’t proper as they’re just made up. This is classic antisemitism -Jews don’t belong, aren’t from here. @KathViner you ok with this?
Christopher Tugendhat wrote a lovely article in 1997 about his family history. If @ObserverUK’s casual antisemitism has made you interested in European Jewish names, read it here: prospectmagazine.co.uk/magazine/4478-…

NEWS. @AlexdeCarv are excited to share that FreeUp, a startup we originated at @PUBLIC_Team and seed-funded, has been acquired by @SoftBank-backed Greensill. It’s mission - to give employees, especially in the public sector - control over their finances, can now be turbo-charged
The idea behind FreeUp is very simple: can we given employees especially in the public sector, access to their earned income, immediately, at no cost. No cost. thetimes.co.uk/article/softba…
Why should employees lend their employers money, which salaries paid in arrears effectively are. Especially when employees can spend money all the time. FreeUp was developed to solve this.

Excited to have been asked to help the Govt. think through the potential role of freeports. A great opportunity to ensure that tax-focused initiatives are coupled with a drive to spur innovation in British ports and the shipping and logistics industry thesun.co.uk/news/9636784/b…
Many of the potential benefits of freeports have been well documented, especially in Rishi Sunak’s report for CPS - cps.org.uk/research/the-f…
In particular, there is strong evidence to suggest that freeports can be a great vehicle for stimulating regional economic growth, and rebalancing the UK economy. The US examples of success are particularly useful macegroup.com/perspectives/1…

How can governments take advantage of new technology? From the recent @PUBLIC_Team/@Accenture paper, a few tips. It builds on the great work of @GDSTeam, @OneTeamGov, @apoliticalco, @MindLabDK etc because, as Isaac Newton said, we are "standing on the shoulders of Giants"
1. Be bold

2. Experiment. Iterate. Evolve

3. Change systems, as well as technology

4. Start with users, but don't forget operators

5. Small can be beautiful
6. Build infrastructure but let the market build features

7. Interopreability is not just for flow but also stock

8. Open is better than closed

9. Work internationally
