This is an awesome photo, but I wish there was something in it for scale to show how giant it really is.

I miss the days when the top result on Google was usually the legitimate information you were searching for. Now the top results are ads, the Knowledge Graph sometimes has misleading info in it, and the "People also ask" snippets appearing before the actual results frequently have inaccurate info in them.

Ministers aren't supposed to have experience, they're there to make decisions. All the expertise is held in the Civil Service, and they don't get shuffled around.

The decision of Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwaerteng to instantly sack two top civil servants damaged the running of government and seemed intended to give the message that they valued political alignment above competence, former senior officials have said.
