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...

Fit a tsdz8 to your Carrera. Perfect for your weight and steep hills.

even if Starmer's government isn't a success, the bar has been set so low by the rightwingers Johnson and Truss that it's unlikely that Labour will be punished in the same way.

the reality is for every success story, dozens if not hundreds of Brits experience much worse. Redistribution of income is therefore necessary to even out the luck of birth and in life.

Tongsheng sent me a flashing tool. It is easy with the right tool, job done in 30 seconds. Tongsheng kits are not perfect but I think the tsdz8 is the best for road legal CD.

we had a much easier time to buy a house than they do now. My first house was a 3-bed, I paid less than £20k for it. My children have to pay £1M for something of the same size. So there is some good reasons to want the oldies to pass on their assets sooner rather than later.

I reckon your ebike is as good as the donor bike is. KT controllers give you more freedom to change settings but that's all it is. You want a cetain amount of assistance? You may get there on different gear and assist level but as long as the controller gives you it, the difference stops.

On the contrary. From the government statistics: There were 215,746 visas and permits granted for family reasons in the year ending June 2021, 40% more than the year ending June 2020. A sharp fall in grants was seen in April to June 2020 due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. However...
