Labours attitudes towards water companies is one of the starkest examples of how they'll do anything to protect the status quo.

The case for water nationalisation is so bloody obvious to everyone - yet they'll do anything they can to keep the failed privatisation experiment.

For the life of me I have never understood why senior staff don't get coached when appointed/have a dedicated school coach for things like this. Nor have I understood why people promoted to any management position don't have access to coaching as prof development. Line managers are not coaches btw

I'll only need one day/year-hose in lots of hot bleach then scrub and rinse. Take out each individual tile and spin dry. Only take a couple of hours, tops.

She has the special anti tile glare sunglasses that mark her as a true professional hypostander. I'm sure if you had a pair @romanpalace.bsky.social would wave you through into the standing area, no probs.
