There are now eight cases according to several news sources. Does that include your one? But I still question that is was left at "low" despite what was already known.

Free ports. Yes, free ports might give rise to tax avoidance. I beg your pardon, isn't that pretty much their sole reason for existence? (A marginal help in having less paperwork, maybe.) Might be officially sanctioned tax avoidance, but that is surely the intent. So we end up here: EU...

The whole lot of them are rotten in so many ways: Harry Dunn family criticise Raab after Sacoolas CIA revelation Minister failed in ‘duty of candour’ by not disclosing that woman had been CIA agent, spokesman says

The Oresund bridge/tunnel is almost 8 km and cost around 4 billion euros in 2000 terms. With luck, it will have paid for itself by 2037. The proposed Irish Sea affair would be of the order of four times as long. Goodness knows how many times more expensive, though 20 billion pounds has been...

Well, there have been suggestions of links from England and Wales as well (Liverpool, Anglesey and Abergwaun (sorry, Fishguard :)) as well. Some via Isle of Man. Shall we go for one each? Then, for each one, does it make landfall in Northern Ireland or the Republic...

A suit short of a full pack already. Since when did this mob have hearts?

A few weeks? There is (so we are told - true? false?) supposed to be a cabinet reshuffle this Thursday.

There will still need to be paperwork... Mail says BJ is still pushing another bridge: The Prime Minister (left, mocked up in a top hat), who is keen to sanction a series of grand infrastructure projects as a legacy of his rule, is about to receive the results of a feasibility study into the...

Have they only just noticed? It has been obvious for weeks. Does it include Huawei 5G kit?

Somewhat ironically, it also underlies justification for not raising the state pension - because everyone who was a proper worker would have poured money into a private pension. Those who, for whatever reason, do not have pots stashed in pension funds simpy do not deserve increases. They are...

As a young child, I was aware of a large tin of floor polish at home. As I learned to read, I realised it was called Mansion Wax. But I had no idea what a mansion was so just took it as a branding (like Daz). I still cannot see the word without thinking of the orange wax and the classic wax...

Back to HS2, or should I say, (HS so long as it's not too windy)2? I can't see it being allowed to operate at a massively higher speed in such conditions. Network Rail has imposed a blanket speed restriction of 50mph across the network on Sunday, warning passengers to only travel by train that...
