Gender pay gap sorted? Wrong! Most subjects same uni degree men earn 24% more than women. We know how to fix. Publish pay ranges. Salary history discussion bans. Rep promotion panels. Remove line manager pay discretion. Effective and cost employers nothing. Get on with it HR!!

It was brilliant talking to my old boss Andrew Dilnot on social care. We agreed that all governments have been disgraceful in their neglect of this, that there is no need to spend 3 years on yet another review, and that this govt needs to make a decision and implement change

Something I've observed in academia but I suspect is true in industry as well: as you become more senior, you'll find that you can be much more productive if you spend all your time being a manager and letting junior people do all the real work. But after a few years of this,…

More than 40% of Harvard graduates end up working in consulting or finance. What a waste of young talent for society. We do not talk nearly enough about this and the broader implications.

Reforms to adult social care charging not happening. I presume this is the end of the "Dilnot" reforms which would have meant a cap on what people have to pay. A dreadful shame. Another episode in generational failures to fund and reform social care.
