Locked down a big contract, celebrated with pizza, ate way too much, probably won't sleep. Today was a good day. 🍕

Seasonal reminder: Alcohol is a completely legal drug that destroys lives, relationships and families. Don't make it hard for people who are trying to stay sober to enjoy festivities and functions.

BREAKING: Twitter in general

The UK Govt wants to "sunset" laws that derive from EU legislation. Top of their hit list in Employment Law seems to be the Working Time Regulations 1998. You probably won't have heard them referred to in that way. The Govt prefers the "Working Time Directive" which is the piece of EU legislation that the Regulations implement. That is not accidental. They would rather you thought we were "ridding ourselves" of EU law than that they were considering removing UK employment rights. 1/n

6. They create a right to be paid for untaken days of accrued holiday on termination of employment.
These rights are all now very much taken for granted. I'm really not sure how many people realise that, as matters stand, unless the Govt decides to save them, they may simply vanish next year. / end

TIP OF THE DAY

Mastodon is not broken.

It's different, and much better. Mastodon by design promotes engagement and discourages instigating conflict. It's a dinner party, not a food fight. Most of what you might at first think is deficient is intentional. Before you rush to conclusions, try it for a while. Take part in this new community. Make new friends. Be kind. This is what social media should be. You will be amazed.

@engineeringdad @hasmis - continuing the theme of next generation of genius #engineers... Manufacturer of large lithium batteries: "must be mounted on a non combustible surface e.g. a wall". Me: "tbh if one of those was on fire I'd want to get it out of the building pretty darn quick". Eldest son: "well how about I make a frame to hold the batteries and mount that on a pallet then". #ProudDad 😍

OMG! This shelf cloud was a real monster, to capture such a beast of nature is true #adrenaline.

Eustice tells us he can now be more honest about the Australia deal and that, far from being the ‘good’ agreement he boasted about in the HoC, it’s a big pile of rubbish for the UK. And they call this democracy do they? Government abusing its power, lying to its citizens and signing deals that fail us, only admitting it when it’s far too late. Brexit Britain. Inadequate politicians screwing it all up and a largely complicit media pretending this is all fine. It’s so not fine.

Given that we are rapidly trying to build community here…

Can I ask you to do two key things:

1) Reshare other people’s posts - so your timeline is rich with other people’s posts for anyone browsing your content to discover.

2) Follow, follow, follow. That goes for following those posting good stuff - and also following those that follow you (as much as practically possible/sensible).

If you do these things, you’ll help us all network up at fast pace - and we all grow our voices & reach. ✌️

George Eustice(Tory MP) admits the Australian trade deal is crap.

"The Australian trade deal is not actually a very good deal for the UK.. the UK gave away far too much for far too little in return."
