Has anything ever gone right with the BA app?

Also love the sheer ambition of “Visit Ukraine Today”

What about the populist left?

Eight Reform UK councils likely to raise tax next year Despite Nigel Farage’s promises to cut waste and ‘save a lot of money’, senior officials have now admitted they will likely have to resort to tax rises

And to further add to this a Russell Group University once asked me for my age and which age range I’m in. On the same page.

Fully aware of that & as someone who legitimately ticks that box I know often it’s never passed on which is why I’m cynical. Plus questions on gender and sexuality etc should be treated anonymously so should be different from interview adjustments. But again having seen so many I remain sceptical

Urgh I hate this. Currently applying for Civil Service roles and their central site chooses to remember some answers but not others, so I’ve taken to answer ‘prefer not to say’ as a default. I’m happy in theory to support diverse recruitment, I’ve never seen ANY evidence that this data is used.
