Abroad?! ;) .

In one sense I dont mind what we've got, since it's a Tory government following two of Labour's announced main policies of large scale investment in the future and government control of rail. I'm more concerned about how it could develop over time. .

Stable people have stable PR governments. Germany's has been very stable. Italy's the opposite because that's how they like it. PR in Britain would be like Germany's. .

Indeed, Proportional Representation would solve the immediate problem and allow us to have all types of party sharing power by agreement. The problem is how to get that. I think the only hope is if a weakened Labour, realising they cannot win again, join forces with the Lib-Dems, SNP and all...

That's exactly what I've been saying, but the right biased moderate party cannot call it self Labour or include that name. Blair pulled that trick once but it wont work again. However I don't see any moderate one winning in any foreseeable future, new moderate parties fare very badly in this...

The illogicality is yours since you are relying on falsehoods. Here's the truth: Labour does do well in Wales, but due to history, ask Oyster in Wales. The Welsh will never forget how Winston Churchill sent in police and troops to crush a miners rebellion with some deaths resulting from...

Indeed, the liars versus the truthful, but it is at least a choice. What you are refusing to face is that Labour cannot win power at Westminster without the Scottish vote. It doesn't matter who leads them or what their policies are, they can only ever be a runner up at best. Face the fact...

The Tories are arguably even more divided as Brexit showed so clearly. A Labour Party cannot win as I've just explained, that is an absolute. They can only do better but never winning. It's always been the case that only a party that is effectively conservative can win in England, and...

Indeed, the so called United Kingdom is showing it's true colours in being more disunited than ever: England, finally completing it's fundamentally small "c" conservative nature. Wales reviving it's over century old Labour heritage, together with some nationalism. Scotland reaffirming that...

There's lots of variations it seems, I've come across anything from 9 weeks to 12 weeks, leaving out my 14+ weeks since mine was being left off the lists, both times, so both had to be prompted. .

Not really, they had lockdown type restrictions so they aren't a comparison. My point with the UK comparison has always been that Sweden didn't bully their people with massive fines and threats, mess up their lives, wreck childrens education or spend their way into decades of future financial...

Agreed. In fact I looked at these death rates a couple of days ago: Ours: 0.19% Brazils: 0.19% Swedens: 0.13% However, I definitely blame the Swedish government for that result, a third less deaths than us without spending £400 billions. .

Yes, makes sense, 2030 isn't our cut off for ICE since hybrid sales are permitted to 2035. Add to that the life of an ICE car is reckoned to be 22 years on average and they'll be with us until at least 2057. I don't approve though, so I'll be tut-tutting in here then at 121 years old. .

Yes, great article. I will pick up on one omission though, the failure to mention electric and steam cars and the e-car's early success: The gentleman's car of choice in the 1900s and 1910s was the electric car, very reliable and far more civilised than the petrol cars and steam cars of the...

I wonder if the lateness of the second has had an effect? Over 14 weeks is very far from the original 3 weeks recommendation. .

Not so, the labour label is so discredited now for multiple reasons that it isn't acceptable. Too many reasons to dislike it to gain enough followers. And even if that were not so, hardly anyone thinks of themselves as "labour" in the working sense now. The vast majority are effectively...

Lucky you! My second AZ jab was 14 weeks, six hours and 20 minutes after my first one, and then only because it was chased. The first one had no appreciable side effects, but the second very much has had. Extreme exhaustion, tiredness and excessive sleeping that's still not gone and a very...

Exactly, and why we cannot have the Labour party! Why do you think Blair changed the name to New Labour? It was to escape the Labour image, but that didn't work well enough eventually. Only a completely new replacement non socialist party can work, Labour can't. In this small "c"...

There can be no such thing in this small "c" conservative country, with so few people being true working class any more we cannot get enough socialist MPs elected to form even half a winning party. What you keep arguing for is what we've already got in the LibDems and look at how successful...

No, I meant what I posted. Forget Blair, he failed as yesterday's man as his Starmer clone has also failed now. .
