With just next week’s finale of #raceacrosstheworld to go, a few reflections on the current series … Image
Firstly, I think the right 3 teams are there at the end. I have a slight preference for Zainib/Mobeen but I’ll be delighted for Ladi/Monique or Cathie/Tricia if they win too. I just want all of them to get to the end #raceacrosstheworld
I struggled with Kevin/Claudia from the start, and while they deserve praise just for doing the race, I never warmed to them. Kevin always had to do it his way and Claudia (at least, what we’ve been shown of her) spent 50% of her time complaining

While his youth isn’t necessarily a barrier to being PM, it’s worth noting that Sunak is considerably less experienced than Blair & Cameron, and has never led his party:

Sunak: 7 years as MP
Cameron: 9y as MP, including 5y as Leader of the Opposition
Blair: 14y as MP, 3y as LotO
He’s going to need wise heads he can trust around him over the next few weeks. Never mind the Opposition, the biggest bear pit he faces is his own party, with Johnson likely to be stirring the pot quietly in the background. Hunt will be crucial, but also how he handles the ERG
Big immediate challenges for Sunak:
- Set policy direction
- Rebuild bridges with devolved nations and Tory factions
- Cabinet reshuffle: who goes, who stays? What role for Mordaunt? Who to dispose of (JRM?) and how to balance talent vs party unity?

No honeymoon period! 🤔

While a 1% cut in basic income tax is welcome, it’s worth calculating what this means in real terms. If you earn under £12,570pa, nothing changes. If you’re on the median average salary of £25,971, you’ll be £2.58pw better off. At best (earning £50,279 or more), you gain £7.25pw
Now compare this to someone on, say, £200k pa. (Obviously, many high earners are on *much* more.) They benefit from both the 1% cut in basic tax (£7.25pw) AND the 5% saving on the last £50k of their salary which will now be taxed at 40% - a further £9.62pw for a total of £16.87pw
So someone on £200k pa - who will barely notice and is unlikely to spend more as a result - benefits 6.5x as much as someone on an average salary, for whom an extra £16.87pw could make a big difference. These tax cuts are for the wealthy, with the masses being tossed scraps

A few observations on Elon Musk and Twitter …

(Disclaimer: not an expert!)
Elon Musk has NOT bought Twitter yet, despite how many media outlets are reporting it.

He has made an offer and Twitter’s board is recommending it to shareholders.

There are 2 main ways the few could yet fall through …
What if shareholders reject it?

Possible but unlikely. Musk's offer for Twitter's shares is 38% more than their current value. This gives shareholders - and, most likely, most of Twitter's stock is held by a few board members and financial institutions - an incentive to accept

@ADuvsLife He's ignoring everything, essentially. In the short-term, we're already seeing delays at the ports, which has a very basic impact on getting stuff into distribution centres in the first place. Every DC has a limited number of loading bays for in & outbound ...
@ADuvsLife Trucks have defined delivery slots for drop-offs and pick-ups - think of it like a doctor's appointment list - they must be there in their 30-60 minute window, or else the haulier gets fined. And DCs operate 24/7. So if 10 trucks miss their slots because of a logjam at the ports
@ADuvsLife It's not just a case of squeezing them into another window - there *is* no spare slot (or hardly any). So you can't easily catch up. And once a delivery slot at the DC is missed, that has a knock-effect. A missed inbound delivery means outbound trucks leave without their stock

Most major economic shifts take years to happen. But what do you do when it happens suddenly in a matter of weeks and months? Th government has a choice: defend the Pret economy to the death or manage an effective transition 🤔 ft.com/content/d8eb62…
Laptops, mobiles, high-speed broadband - all these key enablers of remote working took several years to become mainstream options. Home-working was imposed on office workers within a couple of weeks. No one has really had time to fully evaluate the long-term pros and cons
For some (like me) WFH is a viable and attractive option with few social downsides - I work have an international role, I’m the only UK-based member of my team, I have well established networks and I have a workable home office setup
