Every time I hear a Tory MP complain about £5 million or £50 million being spent on asylum seekers I remember that they spent £120 million on the Festival of Brexit which included putting an old empty oil rig on display in Weston-super-Mare

At Xamarin I left every day at 5pm and I prioritized a healthy life/work balance - and hope I lead my people that way. I think that asking people to work extra hours just give you low quality output. And in the context of these layoffs is crass.
