I know it's already been mentioned, but here's the BBC's take on it:

"Former PM's Brexit negotiator joins Goldman Sachs"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-49642179

Including this:

"Mr Robbins will leave the civil service at the end of the fellowship to become a managing director in Goldman Sachs' Investment Banking Division.

He will join former European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, who is the non-executive chairman of Goldman Sachs International.

He is not the only figure from British politics to have gone into finance. Former Chancellor George Osborne earns £650,000 a year in a role with US investment fund Blackrock, while former Labour Chancellor Alistair Darling is a non-executive director at investment bank Morgan Stanley."

Despite Brexit, presumably:

"Wage growth stays strong as unemployment falls"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-49646201

"Chris Packham hits out at nature TV and I'm A Celeb"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-49646999

"Chris Packham has hit out at producers of TV wildlife shows for not fully emphasising a "climate and environment emergency".

Speaking at the TV Choice Awards, the Blue Planet Live presenter said the public were only being shown nature at its "very best".

"We've got to start giving them the truth," he said, collecting the best factual show award for his programme."

Yes, some truth about the non-emergency would be a good start!

"COP26: Glasgow to host UN climate change summit in 2020"

tomo, I believe he didn't know his red left from his blue right either.

@ Pcar

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I've seen all those. I'm sympathetic to Leave (Brussels is utterly insufferable on all levels) but I cannot see a way out for the UK that honours the referendum.

We can despise the self-described "elite" all we like, but we cannot change their power. Bipartisan means just that - if both major political groups agree, the proles and their little votes do not matter.

Besides, and this I think is the core of the UK concrete pour, Angela seems very much better at unpublicised emoluments to these "elites" than people recognise. Perhaps shortly we'll maybe see xxxxx (fill in the blank) turn up as EU Commissioner for Silly Walks (or something), EUD800,000 pa, no tax, lifetime pension guaranteed.

From Section 4.2.2 Little Barford, report page 21

Little Barford owned by RWE is a 740MW CCGT connected to the transmission system at Eaton Socon 400kV substation.
Near instantaneous to the lightning strike on Eaton Socon – Wymondley line, the Steam Turbine (ST1C) unit at the Little Barford Gas Power Station tripped with the immediate loss of 244MW.
Little Barford’s preliminary technical report submitted by RWE is included Appendix E. The report advises the following:
The initiation of the trip of Little Barford steam turbine (ST1C) was caused by a discrepancy between the measurements from three speed signals. A review of hardware, software, fault handling and diagnostic coverage for the conditions that the Steam Turbine was subjected to is ongoing.
Normal operation of Little Barford power station following the loss of the steam turbine is for the steam generated from the Gas Turbines to be fed directly into the condenser in a steam bypass mode of operation. RWE have confirmed that for reasons presently unknown, after approximately 1 minute the first gas turbine tripped due to a high-pressure excursion in the steam bypass system. This trip occurred automatically and shut the gas turbine (GT1A) down. The second gas turbine (GT1B) was manually tripped by the RWE operational staff in response to high steam pressures around 30 seconds later. In total this meant a total loss at Little Barford of 641MW.
RWE have confirmed that their Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) functioned correctly to enable continuity of supply to plant equipment. RWE do not believe the UPS operation was related to the subsequent turbine trips detailed below. During a forthcoming outage in September 2019, the OEM will undertake resilience testing to reaffirm the functionality of the system.
A physical inspection of the bypass system is now planned during a forthcoming outage in September 2019 to determine the root cause of the pressure excursions.
Appendix G provides the Compliance Testing report for Hornsea and Little Barford.
