there is little TM's government can do. Any patrol boat will have to carry out their humanitarian duty saving lives and bring the migrants ashore, UK side. The only few solutions have been devised by the EU in dealing with migrants crossing the Med. Pay Turkey and Libya to do the work.

he may well have the keys to No 10 before the end of 2019. I cannot disagree with this but.. The UK will have to make a deal with the EU as a matter of urgency, whichever model of brexit happens to be chosen. If you look closely at the brexit opportunity, there are a lot of vested interests out...

there is a difference. The BoE and the ECB printed money to buy government bonds from banks to save them from bankruptcy. TM and JC print money to import goods and buy back foreign investments.

that's just made the point for me. the Pound has dropped in value since the the creation of the Euro. A Pound was worth approximately 1.5 Euro then, a slow decline to 1.30 Euro before the referendum and 1.12 Euro now. People put their life savings in the Pound, so talking about 'devaluation is...

that worries me. TM has a money tree. JC has a money tree. Money is the confidence in the country. That's what our children and grand children will inherit. If you print it on toilette paper then it's what it's worth.

small deals are easy but large deals are not.

the problem is our economic health is tied to our foreign policy. Leaving the EU means we will need more support from and will become dependent on the other two pillars the USA and the Common Wealth.

He is one of those rare politicians who have already achieved TV personality status. Portillo is quite subtle on brexit. Not so long ago, he was the symbol of Euroscepticism and MT's heir apparent then got cold feet.

Heseltine said that our foreign policy has always been based on three aspects: the Common Wealth, the special relationship with the USA and the EU. We squandered the North Sea oil windfall, spent it on consumption rather than invested it. I guess since joining we relied more and more on the EU...

Mchael Heseltine appeared earlier on 'Festival of Politics' in which he retraced the history of conservative (MP) Eurosceptics. Do you know that it was John Major who promised the referendum? According to Heseltine, he and Ken Clarke were dead set against a referendum but agreed with John...

ex-editor of Le Monde, lead columnist for the Guardian and of course a remainer.

best conversion kit for it would be the 48V SWX02. It has both cadence and throttle control and optimised for hill climbing. Still, at your weight, 15% is the practical limit for climbing on throttle. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits#swx02-48v-kit

you can of course use gearing to help the bike but the scheme is limited by the climbing speed. A disabled person may need more than 4mph ground speed to stay on the bike. For practical purpose, you need to keep 10kph ground speed to ensure stability, 85kgs + 25kg bike, 20% gradient and 10kph...

85kgs + bike @ 20% = too much for e-bikes, especially without much user input. In any case, you need an e-bike with cadence sensor and a full throttle as a backup, something like the Woosh Big Bear. all those bikes with torque sensors use a torque multiplication system, they are great at hill...

Seen on twittter, JK Rowling: And lo, unto her did appear a host of Corbyn defenders, who did descend upon her mentions, and she was not sore afraid, because she was used to it. And the host did sing with one voice, ‘ungodly woman, thou foolest us not. We know the true reason thou despisest...

we may end up by cancelling brexit when the astronomical cost of brexit becomes more obvious. Someone made on tonight's BBC2 NewsNight a hypothetical comparison of the cost so far in government paralysis since DC lost his bet. Social care, universal credit and now the sign of economic...

that's a bit short-sighted.

different brexits have different consequences. that's why which brexit should be left to parliament to decide.

well said!

it's people who deal with Health & Safety. I think when they run out of options, they'll shoot those two drones. the drones could be programmed via mobile phones.
