The department of agriculture was an excellent case study. The place had an annual budget of $164bn and was charged with so many missions critical to the society that the people who worked there played a drinking game called Does the Department of Agriculture Do It? Someone would name a function...

It might have helped if TM had been able to read the article below before she met DT, or even had any form of contact with the administration. If if there is much exaggeration and some outright untruths, it is pretty horrific. Without any doubt whatsoever, even if DT promised the best deal the...

Maybe call it an eU-turn?

Last time I went to A&E was a few weeks ago - for toothache due to infection which urgently needed antibiotics. I didn't want to go but there was absolutely no other option that would end up with a medicine ready to take. I was positively TOLD to go there by the emergency dental service but...

I missed this bit of JC's promises: Labour conference: Corbyn Swansea tidal lagoon pledge

If it were so simple, indeed obvious, that this would make such a massive saving, just who has been in charge and NOT doing it for years? There are potentially significant savings in all sorts of areas. My own condition illustrates this: I need a prescription medicine every day. I get a...

It is soooo hard rating posts. Laugh? Agree? Cry?

Ah! Of course, we won't be able to import the vodka, wine, peach and tropical juices after brexit.

If no-deal is just being played as a card, well, the potential issues that keep rolling out, even from non-remain sources, make it utterly unbelievable. But if it is being played as a real option, it is terrifying. No-deal Brexit 'would stop British farming exports for six months'...

I don’t see TM doing what JC has said he could support - so he won’t. Where that takes us .... ?

UK around 5.9 million bottles; Lux around 16 million bottles. So not quite as disproportionate as might have been suspected.

Reductio ad absurdum - keep reducing and reducing the rate and by the time you get to 0.001 % you most certainly won't be taking more revenue. At the same time, setting taxes significantly lower than, say, the EU generally is hardly a spiffing way to establish a relationship of bon homie.

That department will probably lose all too many staff who will depart to the various non-government insolvency practitioners and the like. After all, they will be in a position to pay higher wages and there will be much demand. (Will the UK recognise EU insolvency practitioner credentials after...

This sounds like pudding with rather an excess of eggs, but maybe not? Note the extra paperwork claims when the government has apparently been reducing red tape perpetually (they claim!). How can they wantonly impose such an intolerable burden? I know the issues have been posted many times -...

I have written before that small countries can be picked off one against an another by whoever wishes to. It is the scale of the EU (and, indeed, China and the USA) which gives some protection, some fightback. UK not in any major organisation will be a prime target. Lowering taxes leaves you...

Sorry - not interested in buying. But am curious why you have decided to sell? There are many possibilities, some of which you might not wish to discuss, and that is entirely your choice. Very much not demanding an answer, just gently enquiring. :)

So she claims to know what is in the national interest? I find that extremely hard to believe. Theresa May rules out an autumn general election before Brexit Election will not be in nation’s interest says prime minister at start of New York visit

I think I do my very best to avoid SportsDirect and the brands they own to the very best of my ability.
