    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sunak is the most able from to tory camp. He slowly steadies the deficit. Boris will forever be stuck to his zip wire and Truss still believes in fairies. I wonder what Boris and Truss will do if you give them a defibrillator.

    Starmer is less likely to sell whatever left of public assets. That's a good enough reason for me to prefer his team.

    The nhs is moving to a multi-tiered system. Already if you go private, you can be better treated at your local hospital than if you don't pay. Someone I know was in that situation, her insurance pays £100 a day for nhs hotel accommodation. My dentist charges some cost to the nhs, the rest is...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Nuclear generation is not cheap, it can't compete against wind, solar, hydro, geothermal and gas. This is even before the cost of decommissioning. our government has to top up their income with tax money. If we have any sense, we must invest in energy storage, gas and batteries.

    SW bought his bike 3/4 years ago, so he's not riding an expensive bike. If I understand the story correctly, SW suffered an accident at work. He could have bought his bike with the money he's got from that.

    To force poorer people to work, you will have to remove their social safety net, remove their right to buy their council homes etc. Alternatively, you'll have to tax house ownership until a large enough chunk of investment is moved from housing to industrial. How about the poorer among the 10...
