Good morefternoon, all.

Weather horrendous here today, and the storm (as Brenda from Bristol said, not another one!) hasn't even properly arrived yet.

No storm here, just windy with windchill !

Nothing new, just a reminder of how precarious UK life is for so many --

Been a little busy on self-maintenance today so haven't checked if there is news on that shelling in Donetsk. I just hope it was not really by the UA side .

I'm told that WATO reminded today's IDF spoxx Regev that over a hundred Palestinians were being killed every day, no reply apparently .

Yes, I'm sure the NHS can find more efficiencies and it hasn't already been cut to the bone.

Well, there are efficiencies that the NHS could make - bringing services back in-house that were previously outsourced for a start.

I think I posted about a Trust in our area bring back in house patient transport. Outsourcing was always a nonsense- the very same people doing precisely he same work but with a company in between?

Elsewhere I see that JRM had that nice lady who used to run Restore Trust on his programme.

I see that she is now full-time at the Legatum Institute.

So where was the MD of said Institute before his current position?
Radomir was Special Adviser to Rt Hon Jacob Rees-Mogg MP as Minister for Brexit Opportunities and Government Efficiency, then Business Secretary.
Well I never...
