Also, how on God's earth is Stephen Nolan on over £400,000?
Remember these numbers the next time a Today presenter harangues a doctor, surgeon, nurse or teacher about their unrealistic pay demands or when they're threatening strike action #obscene

Published posthumously in 2023, Pirate Enlightenment is a book by David Graeber.

The book combines a lot of David Graeber's research on anthropology, history and ideas around democracy.

Recommended to read next to a coffee and maybe a doughnut!

Prof Deenan Pillay @deenan.bsky.social , former chair of @independentsage.bsky.social , is an expert virologist never afraid to call things out.
He was right to oppose arbitrary reductions in COVID isolation times, and he's right about this.
£bns wasted on private industry, no UK legacy 🤬
"Shameful"

The Inquiry hears from expert virologist Prof. Deenan Pillay that the Government chose to spend billions on private consultants from Deloitte instead of listening to experts.

The labs they set up have since been dismantled.

The latest Honest Government Ad that Giordano, Lucy, Zoe and the team at @thejuicemedia.bsky.social have made has possibly my favourite authorisation message ever!

Absolutely, definitely not the Australian Election Commission have just made this ad and it is surprisingly honest and informative!
