    Domic Cummings is fired

    I agree, straightforward apology, acting under stress etc. and he might have got away with it. Shapps bluster will just put everyone's back up. A journey of 260 miles in a car for a four year old with an almost certainly infected mother and probably infected father was crazy. This was before...

    COVID-19 Remote Interviews/Gigs: 'MS Teams', Skype Or Something Else ?

    Next steps on IR35 moot - it's a PSC ban that's the problem

    Can I still get wood?
