"the WSJ story about IG and teenage depression and suicide will have a huge impact on regulatory/political pressure on us going forward... I'm worried that none of this is - yet - being reflected in Mark's decision making on head count etc."

Nick Clegg: "Hey - to state the flamingly obvious, the WSJ story about IG and teenage depression and suicide will have a huge impact on regulatory/political pressure on us going forward. Whilst this trend - focus on the impact of our services on kids - was already growing, it has intensified exponentially with the WSJ series. I'm worried that none of this is - yet - being reflected in Mark's decision making on head count etc. Can you remind me of the delta between the eng napkin allocation for youth and the initial bid?" Susan Li: "I think the original bid was 140" Susan Li: "And 50 were received here" Nick Clegg: "Got it - and do you know by any chance what is likely to be dropped/cut back without the 90 heads?" Susan Li: "I am not dialed in enough on Youth specifically to know, unfortunately" Nick Clegg: "Understood - thanks - I don't want to spin up unnecessary work but the external environment has hardened more than I think Mark appreciated on this issue so I think it would be useful to quickly see what the gaps are" Susan Li: "They had 80 ENG on the team and 62 unfilled heads from their 2021 Budget of 142 so just filling their existing allotment would represent tremendous growth for them"
