Taxation has to be progressive but also competitive and commensurate with the needs of the country. We live in a capitalistic world where people and capital (especially intellectual property) can move fluidly, high taxation is counter-productive,

Sorry for the misquote, source was not the BBC, but from a journalist invited by the BBC. https://www.politics.co.uk/news-in-brief/roughly-20-conservative-mps-submit-letters-of-no-confidence-in-pm/ The number is now increased to 30 (source the DT)...

Hunt v Starmer is the best outcome for this country instead of continuation of this corrupt and chaotic government.

I have never visited a bookies in my life but am a regular investor, so following the news is what I do every day. I am not telling you anything new, just the logical follow up consequences of these events. Did you watch Newswatch last Thursday? There are currently 20 letters handed in to the...

Look at the 'save Boris' campaign. who among conservatives do you see rallying around your Boris? Most of BJ's ministers are doing just the opposite, distancing themselves from him. as for 'Boris the most electable tory', he is no longer it, I am afraid. Starmer is very acceptable for the PM...

the polls in 2 weeks will be worse for BJ than the polls this week. If Sue Gray's report concludes that her boss has not broken any Covid rules, that will break public faith in the system. If her report concludes that her boss has, then pressure will increase on BJ to act before he's pushed, a...

I would recommend the Tongsheng TSDZ2 48V 250W kit which is the nearest to what you currently ride (Scott Eride 920). The TSDZ2 has torque sensor, is smaller and lighter than the cadence sensored BBS01B.

agreed. That's a fundamental issue with the new mRNA/DNA based vaccines. We don't talk much about the Chinese vaccine, CoronaVac, an inactivated vaccine. It may have suited you better.

we'll have local council election in May. That will be a test for BJ, whether he's still an election asset for the conservatives. By then, people will be hit by rising prices and extra taxes. Most won't be happy with BJ. Any swing to Labour or Libdems, he'll be forced to resign, and that looks...

BJ is a goner. It's not a question of if, just when. The 58 red wall seats will flip at the next election. They did not go to TM but went to BJ last time because of his 'levelling up' promise. without the red wall seats, the tories can't have a majority in parliament.

You have a very nice donor bike which can take any coonvenional front, middle or rear motor and a downtube battery. So what are your priorities? Stealth, range, weight of the motor, programmability, tidiness of installation? The choice can then be whittled down further if you are overweight or...

if the story has legs, tory MPs should ask the police to investigate. BJ lied in the HoC about parties in No 10 thus breaking ministerial code. That's the issue.

I thought Starmer only needs to keep his cool and he won't put a foot wrong. His opponent is now a vote calamity. Did you watch BBCQT last night? Half of the program (about 30 minutes) were all about whether BJ should fall on his own sword. 17 minutes in, only one person raised his hand in...

Rail franchises don't make as much money as they thought, so there is little appetite to take on some of the regional franchises. Government can expect more franchises will fail and when that happens, the DfT will have to step in. As for Shapps, he is not the decider. Are we talking about the...

BJ and his government was forced into nationalisation of Northern Rail because of the pension deficit of £580 millions. Not something that they would have liked to do. DfT OLR report: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dft-olr-holdings-limited-annual-report-and-accounts-2019-to-2020

Nobody wanted to take over Northern Rail. Same thing happened to Virgin Trains. If BJ and his government were at all interested in re-nationalisation, there would have been follow-up announcements since. They even drag their feet on HS2. Extra spending on the NHS is necessitated by the record...

can you tell me what they are? Rail franchises turn out to be far less profitable so our government could not find any business willing to take over the failed franchises. They were forced into acting as last resort operators, not by choice. I don't think this current government nor the next...

we will never know in our lifetime what Corbyn/McDonald's economic plan would turn out to be. Covid has indeed inflicted 20% GDP extra national debt, so the idea of borrow to invest large amounts of money would not go down well with the majority of taxpayers. I don't think BJ would have stolen...

Did you watch how BJ apologised in the HoC and for what? He commented that although he was there, people should see that he did not break any Covid rules. Zlatan may find it's OK that BJ shared a drink with his staff but at the time, I am not the only one who could not go see my family because...

65% now think that he is not fit for the office. Don't forget he won big previously because voters would not trust his opponent with the economy. That situation has changed with KS.
