I read an article recently that Putin has four body doubles, which went through plastic surgery to look like him. I feel sorry for the four women who had plastic surgery to look like Liz Truss.

As a very occasional user Twitter, I have to admit that the glacial pace of functional improvements when I drop in from one month to the next does not suggest a company with 7,000 employees. I guess they could all work in sales and marketin

I don't know about that. Channel 4, Network Rail, Land Registry and half of Nat West Bank have all been mooted as a potential sale in recent years.

Not that I am aware of. As you say, the Opposition parties can call for a vote of no confidence in the Government, but they will lose, as the Government have a majority. Similarly, individual constituencies cannot recall their MP unless the

I have absolutely no medical background (or knowledge) but I find it baffling how people drop dead from a heart attack without any medical interventions. I received an over 40 MOT (a few years back) and despite being overweight and slightly

While that is true, house price inflation has massively outstripped wages. For example, my very first house in 2000 cost £105k. Today that same house would cost £220k. Therefore, what option do people have but to overextend themselves?

I'd say the best way to help the unemployed is to equip them with skills. There's no shortage of unskilled, minimum wage jobs in Britain, but it's hardly a life.

The Bank of England is raising rates to try and dampen demand, meanwhile later today the Government are having a "mini-budget" where they will cut taxes to try and boost demand. Mr Left Hand, may I introduce you to Mr Right Hand.

In Britain alone the Government has borrowed half a trillion pounds (roughly 25% of GDP) in 2020-21. Most of that went into the hands of normal people via furlough (paying people 75% of salary to stay at home during Covid), support for the

I'm going to buck the trend here and say that I'm actually using Facebook more than in the past. I am member of a few groups, which are quite niche, but genuinely interest me. I always browse by Most Recent and by checking every d

The challenge of course is scale. It is very easy to build a high powered and fast charging batteries as a one-off in a lab. Trying to produce a million a month is an altogether different proposition.

With inflation running at circa 10% and most people only having received a circa 3% payrise this year, the easiest way to make sure your salary keeps up with inflation is to jump roles and take a decent uplift in pay.

The bizarre situation in the UK is that most companies will not post a salary on their job ads, but recruitment firms, advertising the same role, will post a salary. This means I will always go for the ad with a salary and the company will

Lots of people with anecdotes of how useless/disastrous big consultancies are. It's the old "nobody ever get fired for buying IBM". It is easy to justify this kind of outsourcing decision, these are multi-billion dollar

Does cable have an ad free tier? This for me is the advantage Netflix has. Tempt people in with a cheap (or even free) ad supported tier and then offer the chance to upgrade to an ad free experience. Similar to YouTube Premium.
