Co-founder of Multiverse believes ‘obsession with the academic’ is holding some people back

He is the son of a former prime minister, the proud new owner of a £22m home in west London, and at 38 years old, Euan Blair was on Wednesday awarded an MBE for services to education.found by police “drunk and incapable” in Leicester SquareMore recently, he has called on the government to consider scrapping the exams, and university degrees too, for many people.

But Blair Jr argues that the nation’s “obsession with the academic as a marker of potential and talent” is holding back people from minority groups and failing to serve the needs of employers in a digital age. “I often say to people: ‘I started my career in investment banking structuring corporate debt and derivatives, armed with a degree in ancient history and a master’s in international relations that did not teach me how to do the job,”, a conference discussing ideas about how to help the capital bounce back from the pandemic, last year. “I effectively did an apprenticeship as I learned everything I knew about that job on the job.

The training is funded by a 0.5% levy placed on all companies with an annual payroll bill of more than £3m. This can be spent on their own training costs or transferred to other organisations, such as Multiverse. He recently splashed some of his cash on a five-storey west London townhouse for a reported £22m. The seven-bedroom residence, which he shares with his wife, Suzanne Ashman, and their two children, features a two-storey “iceberg” basement with an indoor pool, gym and multi-car garage.

‘Wage battles’ ahead between business, unions and govtNew use of the word 'battles'...any economist worth their salt knows there is a constant tension between workers and employers...this is absolutely normal and leads to negotiated outcomes and moderated wage growth leading to an activated economy...you want and need this once again Liberal Sky News!! Dividing the issues like the liberals do,using words like 'battle' Unbelievable how about being part of the solution instead of all the negativity that you guys have generated since May 21!! No doubt there's been a real leech in wealth to the top-end of town for the past decade with the RBA needing to step-in to control the damage against the Liberal recession. Only inevitable there'd be a wage-to-profit realisation at some time, the big biz honeymoon is over.
