Cable: IoD now to the left of May on executive pay

In response to a call by the Institute of Directors for the government to give investors a bigger say in executive pay, Sir Vince Cable, Liberal Democrat Shadow Chancellor, said:

“Even directors think executive pay can be excessive, yet the Conservatives still refuse to take action. When so many people are struggling, it undermines confidence in wealth creation, which ultimately harms everybody.

“Liberal Democrats have long campaigned for binding votes on executive pay.

“Conservative failure to take action shows that Theresa May just doesn’t care. Even the Institute of Directors are to the left of her. Perhaps she is simply terrified because she has so dented business confidence by her insistence on pulling Britain out of the customs union and single market.”

Its the long genes that stop working

People who read my blog will be aware that I have for some time argued that most (if not all) diseases of aging are caused by cells not being able to produce enough of the right proteins. What happens is that certain genes stop functioning because of a metabolic imbalance. I was, however, mystified as to why it was always particular genes that stopped working. Recently, however, there have been three papers produced: Aging is associated with a systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance Age- or lifestyle-induced accumulation of genotoxicity is associated with a generalized shutdown of long gene transcription and Gene Size Matters: An Analysis of Gene Length in the Human Genome From these it is obvious to see that the genes that stop working are the longer ones. To me it is therefore obvious that if there is a shortage of nuclear Acetyl-CoA then it would mean that the probability of longer Genes being transcribed would be reduced to a greater extent than shorter ones.
