Is the police uplift for real?
@ukhomeoffice straining every sinew to meet Boris Johnson’s pledge to recruit an extra 20,000 officers in England/Wales by March 31st 2023.
On Wednesday, we’ll find out if they’ve hit the target.
I expect they have.
But don’t be fooled…

Good morning from the Control Room. FAO anyone planning on travelling WB on the M27 this morning between J7 & J5, we are awaiting recovery following a collision involving a boat - there could be some minor delays whilst we await recovery (or the tide to rise high enough). 3554

Stephen Bonner, our Deputy Commissioner, spoke to @alexhern about the use of emotional analysis technologies.
This is more fundamental than a data protection issue - at the moment, these technologies just don't work.

Deep work is “the ability to concentrate without distraction on a demanding task.” It's a superpower of the 21st century. Much of the time we end up doing pseudo work, not deep work. Actions we can take to increase deep work: betterhumans.pub/deep-work-d… @m_konkel Graphic: @wendi322
