you don't have to put your foot down. The bike will work like a car. It has extra retractable legs.

I suppose the same software can be used on motorbikes too as self balancing bikes are already made.

Some people reckon that self driving cars will save 900,000+ fatalities every year.

unlike trains, it will take years to renationalise water. If the goal is improvements then it is much easier to do that by Ofwat fining the water companies for missing targets and jailing their directors for unauthorised discharges.

nice work!

There is the cost of fixing leaky pipes and replacing old treatment works. Thatcher did not want to pay for the work from central funds so she sold it. Foreign buyers snapped that up because it was cheap and had high guaranteed yield. Our government has already got the right to impose a higher...

the simplest solution to cutting queue is to allow patients to get treated in the private sector and refund their cost at a fixed tariff. The patients may get back less than they spend but can then take out insurance for this purpose. It's not a perfect solution but can help reducing the queues...

I am not surprised. 40-50 years of Thatcherism has finally crystalised in the state we are in. Planning laws that pushed up property prices to the point that half of people's wages go to paying for their lodging. If someone inherits any money, it goes straight into property instead of some other...

We used to make specialty steels but it's not something that Tata wants to do at Port Talbot. The choice for UK government is simple: let Tata close Port Talbot or help Tata compete on price against Chinese imports. If UK government wants to save jobs, it has to give Tata £500 millions, Tata...

No. you can always make steel with different chemistries but it's not the point. Tata is making a loss at Port Talbot so it has zero interest to continue to operate the blast furnaces. It is motivated to either modernise or close down. Our conservative governments did not like to subsidise...

That was a reply to lenny. Last Friday, the FTSE250 jumped 1.5% We have about £100bn in cash ISAs. This money isn't productive. It was suggested that Labour should change the rules on ISAs to force the momey be invested in a more productive market. LSE is big, second only to the NSE. It manages...

About time too. The mid caps invest here, not Australian miners, Chinese EVs, American NASDAQ.

MPs knew what Bridgen was about, most disagreed with him so they didn't need anyone to tell them to walk out. The ERG understands what a large proportion of their membership wants. Their MPs had to govern the whole country so cannot pander to the view of a tiny group of people. Let's wait and...

Another opinion piece from someone who has preconceived ideas about the macron's situation in France. Macron took the decision to call an election because he would be defeated in a vote of no confidence in as early as September. Sunak called the election for similar reasons. The ERG destroyed...

On that table, UK is in 19th position, beaten by Malta and Ireland among others. Roughly the same ranking as GDP per capita. The problem with the UK is the wide difference between the rich and poor compared to those ranking higher than ourselves, so remedy seems to be reducing the difference.

You can use average salary if you like. Our living standard is left frozen in time since the 2008 crisis and Cameron becoming PM. Ask Soundwave how he feels.

I would rather reply to your specific points than to a complete article that you repost. Saneagle is pretty middle of the road on energy. He has already made the point on variability of electricity price. Ineos has a huge interest in oil and gas, he doesn't want to see the role of gas to be...

You should check out the following datatable by worldometer: GDP per capita. If anyone thinks we are one of the richest country on earth, think again. Soon, Italians, Czechs, Slovenians will overtake us on income. # Country GDP (PPP) per capita (2022) GDP (nominal) per capita (2022) vs...

that is usually seen in conservative administrations. there are numerous studies as to why we are stuck in a hole since the sub prime mortage crisis in 2008. Low productivity leads to lower growth compared to the US, the EU, Australia, the BRICS etc. We used to enjoy better living standard than...

ITER may be overtaken by other technologies by the time it is switched on. It may also be best to mothball the project until after we get thorium reactor perfected.
