"Boris Johnson, to whom lying comes as easily as breathing, is on the verge of becoming prime minister. He faces the most complex and intractable political crisis to affect Britain since 1945.

That should be concerning enough. But given Britain’s political system — which relies for its maintenance on the character and disposition of the prime minister — it carries even graver import. Mr. Johnson, whose laziness is proverbial and opportunism legendary, is a man well-practiced in deceit, a pander willing to tickle the prejudices of his audience for easy gain. His personal life is incontinent, his public record inconsequential."





Where was this written you might ask?


Answer: Today's New York Times

cheshire

"Socialists don't understand economics, CtR, never have done and never will do."

Who is the socialist? I'm not. I just believe that capitalism cannot do without it, which is a FACT. We need MORE socialism.


I do recall that many capitalist entities had to be saved by acts of socialism during 2008/2009 which cheshire completely fails to understand and/or accept.

If I don't understand business, economics and finance cheshire, and you do, how come I am the multi-millionaire and you are a mediocre/average Joe?

Obviously you don't understand it as much as you think you do! ;)

Lib Dems could be a force to be reckoned with if they can get some high profile defectors from Labour and Tory.
They will be the cream and the brains of both parties.

Labour will be left the the horrors of Corbyn, McDonnel and Abbott.
Tories with the cabinet from hell including Ian Duncan Smith and Jacob Rees Mogg.


If the liberals strike the right note with sensible policies, and their new leader improves her presentation, as she will (Maggie was embarrassing at first), they could get some momentum.

Vince Cable will advise on economic policy.

[crossing_the_rubicon] 22/7/2019 17:46

Indeed Cheshire.
Yet they constantly claim they do!

Priceless when they're frequently shown to be out of their depth!

Talking of tax and spend, it seems May's Faux Conservatives are very much inclined to such as well unfortunately.

One more day and the traitorous witch is gone!!

[crossing_the_rubicon] 22/7/2019 17:38

@M4rtinu,

Pretty sure Bojo wins..Voted for him myself.
Cost me slightly more than the £3 I spent voting for Corbyn :)

Socialists don't understand economics, CtR, never have done and never will do. The only thing they understand is tax and spend, even if it kills the golden goose.

[crossing_the_rubicon] 22/7/2019 16:53

Socialists always push the idea that raising the minimum wage does not result in job losses, or employee hours being cut back......basic economics 101 for the such for the
rest of us.


Priceless.

"Bernie Sanders was mercilessly mocked after he was forced to cut the hours of staffers who demanded the $15 dollars an hour the socialist Senator is campaigning for"

Indeed re Ireland. Taxation policy moving to QMV. Now who, in the EU, has the lowest set of taxation rates that have enticed numerous businesses to set up there????

And who is going to suffer when their taxation are harmonised, upwards, to the EU average.

[mr.elbee] 22/7/2019 16:42

depends what he does...a lot of sackings would perk up the price no end.

[m4rtinu] 22/7/2019 16:28

As you imply, Rubi: two Tories so Hobson's choice. I imagine the market has priced in BJ winning, everyone else has.

Noel Stevens 22 Jul 2019 3:32PMOne thing is certain. For the last 3 years the EU has been pretty lenient with Ireland but when Brexit is over they'll make up for lost time. Deal or no deal Ireland will need a loan from somewhere and an EU one will be heavy. Very likely one of the conditions will be that they change their corporate tax laws, some thing the EU has been trying to force for years.So, where else can they turn? I'd say Britain is the only country so now would be a good time to start being friendly again.

THE FEEL GOOD FACTOR



London is the world’s third leading smart city
0
By Peter Smyth Tech Journalist at 2:24 pm July 22, 2019 Business News, London News, Tech

As cities around the world are set to transform into ‘smart cities’, John Williams, Head of Marketing at Instant Offices, looks into what smart workplace trends are emerging from these innovation hubs.

The National League of Cities (NLC) has analysed how technological advances in smart cities could potentially impact jobs and skills, showing which jobs that are set to grow between now and 2026 are most likely to be automated. The research found that management and supervisory roles are the most secure, being less than 30% automatable, while low-paying positions involving manual labour are the ones most at risk, being more than 70% automatable.

The World’s Smartest Cities

Singapore:
ABI’s Smart Cities Competitive Assessment report has named Singapore as the world’s leading smart city. The innovative city is pioneering several projects to address high-density urban living and is also home to futuristic driverless taxis and shuttles.

Dubai:
The ultra-modern city of Dubai was ranked second, noted for its adoption of disruptive next-gen technologies. Dubai is leading the way when it comes to crypto technology, with all government transactions set to be processed via blockchain by 2030.

London:
The English capital has been placed third, thanks to its advanced open data policies and thriving start-up ecosystem

Top Smart Office Trends for 2019

As smart cities are shaping the future of work, here are the leading workplace trends for 2019 and beyond:

BYOD (Bring Your Own Device):

Many businesses are now allowing a BYOD policy, which means employees can use their own personal tablets, smartphones, laptops and wearable tech to complete their tasks and send work-related communications.

According to research by Techjury, 67% of employees say they now use personal devices at work, and 87% of businesses rely on their workers’ access to mobile business apps. By allowing workers to take their favourite at-home tech and integrate it into daily work life, they will be able to work remotely in more efficient ways.

Focus on Wellness:

Workplace wellness is a growing trend. Employers are recognising the dangers of overworking, presenteeism, work addiction and burnout. In the US, 70-80% of companies believe that wellness programmes reduce absenteeism and boost productivity, according to a Global Wellness Institute Survey. This shows that more companies are looking to make positive changes to improve the wellbeing of their employees, and tech is making this easier.

For example, wearable devices like Fitbit and Jawbone allow employees to monitor their stats, from steps taken to calorie consumption to heart rate. This can empower them to take control of their health and practice better wellness habits daily. Smart offices can also make use of collected data from wearable devices by analysing it to identify potential health risks in their workplace.

Cybersecurity:

As the wireless technology and BYOD trends continue to rise, the need for advanced security tech rises with them. More data is being stored on the cloud, and if that data isn’t secured correctly, companies risk losing or leaking a lot of sensitive information.

A recent US review by SHRM found that nearly half of organisations surveyed (46%) are now using biometric authentication tech to protect data on smartphones. Flexible offices with excellent network security, a choice of shared and private workspaces, and round-the-clock on-premises security offerings are helping companies to operate in a safer and more secure environment.

Sectors Benefiting from Smart Office Space

Smart workplace solutions improve productivity and make it easier for teams to complete their daily tasks, using state-of-the-art tech to make the process smoother.

IT companies, design studios and web development businesses can all benefit from a fully serviced and connected setup. Beyond office life, those working in labs and research facilities can operate safely with excellent security and data protection. Even warehousing and manufacturing are transforming as companies like Amazon and Boeing harness the power of IoT technology.

Boris wins, we get severe depression, famine, flooding, and widespread plague.

Hunt wins, we stay in EU(and get severe depression, famine, flooding, widespread plague and we are forced to pay £220billion for the privilege)
