Good afternoon.

Cates is a menace. I have no doubt the law of unintended consequences will come out of this at some stage.

About time the DfE stuck up for schools and told her to pipe down.

One of those whose defeat at the next GE would be more celebrated than most.

Is this a typical "question" whose answer is "not really"?

Haha. Did you need to check?

"The correlation between public sector wage increases and inflation is negligible and not statistically significant (r = 0.04). This means that public sector pay is unrelated to inflation."

Saw a tweet the other day-- a Sydney train driver still not functioning mentally after covid wouldn't go back to work (though officially cleared) because he considered himself a safety risk ...

There's a lot of 'Not-covid' about !

Good to see more people realising that using 'in effect' or 'effectively' = 'I'm making this up.'
