UK government quietly awards travel firm £1.6bn contract for asylum barges and accommodation
An Australian travel firm previously slammed for its handling of Covid quarantine hotels has been quietly handed a £1.6bn contract covering the UK’s new asylum accommodation ships, The Independent can reveal.
Corporate Travel Management (CTM) was put in charge of the lucrative two-year arrangement in February, weeks before the government revealed it would use a barge as its first offshore accommodation for asylum seekers.

The characteristics of good management and strong leadership are completely different from the characteristics of bullying.
Too many people suggesting that it's all on a spectrum or that there's a fine line.
That is insulting to all the excellent leaders who manage to inspire high standards without bullying.

I look forward to the UK government SMS alert test tomorrow. In Central London. During the London Marathon. With hundreds of thousands more people than usual.
Yeah, this isn't going to end well, is it?

Even an organisation as temporally challenged as the #UKGovt cannot have failed to notice that we're living in the 21st century. Nowadays, using the phrase "please wait five working days" is *exactly* the same as "please wait five days", since Sat & Sun are working days too.

Listening to #InOurTime this week was a reminder of the reasons for #Brexit. From the 19thC London’s liquid sewage was pumped into the Thames; solids from 8 million Londoners were dumped in the North Sea. This went on until 1998 (!) when the #EU brought the law to #ThamesWater, and insisted on safe alternatives. And what did #UKGovt do as soon as it could? They let the water co’s start pumping sewage into our waterways again. That’s what Brexit means: Shit in our rivers, shit on our beaches.

BBC Row: UK report states VHP planned Gujarat violence in advance, Godhra a “pretext”
The report states that the violence was “planned, possibly months in advance” by Vishva Hindu Parishad, a Hindu nationalist organisation. The report notes: “The attack on the train at Godhra on 27 February provided the pretext. If it had not occurred, another one would have been found.
