No - the main beneficiaries will be the rich - as always: It is fair to prioritise tax cuts that benefit the highest earners 250 times more than the poorest, Liz Truss has said, insisting it is wrong to view all economic policy through the “lens of redistribution”.

Brewexit benefits part the nth: Kent brewery hailed as Brexit ‘export champion’ has one EU customer left The Old Dairy Brewery, named in a government video, has seen sales slump because of excessive paperwork...

It would be very interesting to see a cabinet which was either: Full of people who had resigned from his cabinet. Empty of anyone who had resigned from his cabinet. Both possibilities seem to undermine the possibility. :-) Also, my personal suspicion, he will find sufficient financial...

We don't need to see any more of her - I dislike her enough already. It was probably when she started serious cosplay as a reincarnation of Thatcher (using official photographer to take what were effectively party and personal political pictures) I started to fear she might make it. It seems...

If I had to search the house for a missing cat, I wouldn't have looked in the lampshades! Tops of wardrobes, yes. That is impressive! Just been told we are looking for a cat accessible shade...

Cressida Dick ‘felt intimidated’ into resigning as Met chief, review says If she felt intimidated by the mayor, just as well she didn't have to deal with organised crime, terrorism, foreign government interference, guns, supranational commercial interests, ...

The performance that Teslas can achieve is pretty damned frightening. 216mph (when unlocked) and 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. Despite being electric, that will be guzzling power at a phenomenal rate. But even at normal quite fast driving speeds, and quite fast acceleration, such as you can often see on...

Are sows in greater demand?

It doesn't matter which way you look, this government has failed. Including managing brexit (still? again?): Britain’s ‘uncontrolled’ sewage dumps may breach Brexit deal, warns EU Brussels official says UK has ‘non-regression obligation’ to protect waters as part of trade deal...

Can't quite see Johnson successfully pulling it off. Don't think he's done equine cosplay: Yes, you could be mine Tonight and every night I would be your knight in shining armour Coming to your emotional rescue You will be mine, you will be mine, all mine You will be mine, you will be mine...

I do my best to keep away from everything to do with Sky. I was a bit surprised the other day, a new neighbour got a Sky dish installed. Then BT OpenReach for broadband. I was under the impression that people could simply use broadband instead of a dish these days? And satellite dishes...

Anyone know which cabinet minister and aide are implicated in the sexual abuse story that broke on Sky? (Not expecting the names to be included in a reply.)

What a time to live in Russia: Russian oil chief Maganov dies in 'fall from hospital window' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62750584 ...or die.

What is happening in the USA? Sarah Palin loses Alaska special election to Democrat Mary Peltola Peltola’s victory in the state’s first ranked choice voting election makes her the first Alaska Native to serve in the House...

She's said no new taxes. Shame - she could have raised quite a lot from a hash tax, and cocaine duty, and ...

Use of decoys in WWII has been extensively recorded and reported. Which makes me wonder why they have said that is what they have been doing? People don't usually give away their game plans halfway through. I can come up with a few thoughts but anything obvious is likely not to be true - or...

Don't know why I assumed you had a gas hob! What do you have on gas? I have gas hob (which does not need electricity) and electric induction hob.

I'd not be wanting to cut off gas right now. Yes - I am well aware of the standing charge issue. But what we do not know is whether electricity will be available throughout the winter. Our resilience is wafer-thin even if we can just about manage. Hence, any disruption could see power cuts...

So many lies, so much deception, but - true or not - I like this story: Ukraine using wooden decoys to lure Russia into wasting its missiles - report Replicas of US-supplied rocket launcher systems drew at least 10 Russian Kalibr cruise missiles, reports say...

If the grid starts to fallover, think how many pot plants won't survive! I suspect that growers will see their electricity usage sticking out like a sore thumb this winter - if anyone is looking at consumption. (Even if they bypass meters, perhaps measurement at transformer level would act as a...
