Only needs to be a couple of sentences.

Do this for every criterion in the job spec and this will put your application head and shoulders above most applications that we receive, massively improving your chance of getting to interview.

So perhaps unsurprisingly it transpires that if you slang off your workforce, blame them for your mistakes & generally treat them like the enemy, your will have a staff retention problem....

of course the wont see this as a problem, as they're working to disable the state in any case, but for the rest of us, the steady loss of expertise in the is a significant concern for all of us

“I’m a middle aged cisgender gay man who has seen all of this before. It sucked growing up with this level of hate in the 80s and 90s, and it’s scary that the UK is becoming increasingly hostile to queer people.”

from the article: "President Joe Biden, on April 26 of this year, issued a proclamation acknowledging the 70th anniversary of the Lavender Scare — a 1950s attack, which took place after President Dwight D. Eisenhower (R) signed an executive order banning LGBTQ+ people from working for the U.S. government, accusing gay and lesbian employees of working with the Soviet Russian Communist Party to compromise the country’s national security." medium.com/equality-includes-y

Given that the have seldom been backwards at leaking reports in advance or making early (but faulty) accusations, one cannot help but think the reason that is refusing to say whether he thinks that broke guidelines in taking a job with is because they've actually found no evidence at all & are preparing to back-track on earlier accusations...

Of course, there may be other explanations, but reticence is not a standard trait.

How worried are that if they lose the next , they might be in opposition for a decade or more?

If their attitude to reform is a guide, not very.

The clamour to allow more political appointees seems to ignore that this would also be the case for Labour when it took power...

Either the Tories are myopic (possible!) or they don't expect to be out of power long enough for LP appointees to change much!

Or perhaps like others they see Starmer as a shadow Tory?
