“It will possibly go up by a handful of billions,” the boss of Sellafield – or the boss of the authority that is the boss of the company that is the boss of Sellafield – told a worn-down Public Accounts Committee.
The committee’s wave of wrath had broken half an hour before on the rock of John Clarke, MD of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. This public servant had just re-let a fat contract to a company called Nuclear Management Partners whose main commercial purpose is to loot the public purse while getting in as much golf as possible.

What better way to get ready for Guy Fawkes night than a special showing of V for Vendetta. The Guy Newsroom will be popping down to the Bowler pub in Clerkenwell at 6pm this evening so come down if you are around. The film starts at 7 and there will be free drinks courtesy of the EzyOrder app. Get your ticket here.

Dear Colleague,
Catholic Members’ Supper
Tuesday 5th November 7.30pm
Venue Private Room in a venue not too far from the HouseRob Flello has suggested that we hold the next in our series of Catholic Members’ Suppers on 5th November.
I am currently researching venues to find a private room within a short distance of the Palace of Westminster which is accessible also for wheelchair users. I will advise on the venue and costs (which I shall seek to keep down) in due course, but would be grateful if you could let me know now if you would like to book a place pending confirmation of final details.
Many thanks.
With kind regards and all good wishes.

Remember Piers Morgan once lied…
“I have never hacked a phone, told anyone to hack a phone, or published any stories based on the hacking of a phone.”
Many of the thousands of jobs advertised on the Guardian website are in recruitment. They are currently carrying an advert for a position down in Bristol as an account director at Pure Recruitment. So far, all pretty standard. Just the one thing: due to the successful candidate having to deal with businessmen from the Middle East, women are banned from applying.
“To include clients in the Middle East. Please note; Due to the travel and work restrictions for women in this area, we need to limit our candidate selection to males only.”
The Guardian turning a blind eye to workplace discrimination against women at home and abroad. Everyday sexism…
H/T @LAMillinery.
UPDATE: Victory!
@WikiGuido Alex, thanks for bringing to our attention, this role has now been edited. We do not condone sexism in our job adverts.
