Dominic 'Potemkin' Cummings is one of those people who uses words/references that others in the meeting won't understand so they all have to Google them. Classic British pass.-agg. meeting behaviour.

Four excellent tickets for Lloyd Cole in Newcastle on Friday - shout if you're interested.

So what do I have to do to get a League Cup Final ticket? Kidney, (post-Dry January) liver and basic sense of dignity available in part exchange.

Immediate global ban applied to the words/terms "fanbase", "woke", "virtue-signalling", "TED Talks" and "futurologist/future-watcher/future-gazer". More news as we get it.

Everyone who needs to catch up on the progress (and sometimes the opposite) of digital government needs to read Jerry.
