found in the FT this morning: 'Brexit' is rapidly ceasing to be a noun and becoming an adjective, as in 'I'm Brexit at maths' (or negotiating).

I can sell you one like this (rack + controller box with lock and keys + 13AH or 15AH battery): We fit them to our Santana 2. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?santana2

there is no need to give Blair any active role, just don't give ammunition to the tory press to claim that Labour is divided.

I believe that it's a wrong tactic for the left to attack Blair on the basis of his involvement in the Iraq war. The left needs Blair to attract the middle ground voters. In order to win power, you need to carry a substantial chunk of the middle ground votes.

the hidden battery is a definite advantage on folding bikes where space is at an absolute premium. Its value is less obvious on an e-mtb and some would consider not being able to remove or lock the battery a disadvantage. If you look at all the successful e-MTBs (Bosch, Yamaha, Shimano, Brose...

blessing or not, if their tax plan is not credible, they won't get that many middle ground taxpaying, slightly better than the JAMs (those that earn near the high rate, so not affected by their last tax plan) votes - without which, labour will stay on the opposition benches.

Corbyn's and McDonnell's economics would be very different from previous labour government (Blair's and Brown's). I personally don't think that their tax plan is credible.

I am not sure you are right on this. This may work for some top engineering companies like R&M. If you tune a bike to suit a smaller group of users, you will increase costs, in production, distribution and support. You end up with a lesser value proposition.

times and times again, the UK electorate has voted for lower taxes. Blair knew that and promised 'no new taxes' in 97.

The Woosh Rio MTB caters for this market, with bigger battery (13AH or 17AH), stronger motor, better brakes, better shocks, better crankset etc... http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?rio-mtb

I am pro soft brexit, centrism and a coalition government.

if you bike has a crank drive motor, use a low gear and keep the cadence as high as you can. If your bike has a geared hub motor, use maximum assist and try to climb as quickly as you can. If you have a direct drive, just take a few deep breaths before the hill.

to reduce water ingress, you need to turn the anti-rotation washers 180 degrees so the motor cable exits downward.

I went round the houses citing China and Vietnam just to illustrate how your view of the conservatives is over-simplified. In a way, I have as much sympathy for Kenneth Clarke, John Major as for Tony Blair. They are a bit of rebels in their own party. Political parties must win over the...

another effect is the birth rate. After the Vietnam war ended (1975), Vietnamese birth rate was very high (6% compared to UK 1.8%). It's normal that mothers and children make up the majority of patients. Here we have the opposite. Birth rate in Vietnam now decends to similar level like ours, 2%...

one indication is the number of doctors per 1000 inhabitants. UN stats in 2008 shows UK 2.8 doctors per 1000 inhabitants, Vietnam 1.26 (that number was 0.24 in 1980), China 1.94. That shows the staggering improvement in public health provision. Of course most wealthy Vietnamese have access to...

there is no need, I hope you'll be pleasantly surprised. I was pestered a bit by insistent hawkers and the general traffic in Hanoi and HCM city. Other than that, it was very good.

I think you will be surprised when you visit Vietnam. The last time I was in Vietnam was in 2009. Even then, it was no longer a third world country, compared to a lot of African countries. Wages were rising fast in China as well as in Vietnam. The average salary of factory workers are now more...

it's not going to happen. Palestinians are just as resourceful and educated people as Israelis. They have a lot more in common than any other pair.

The boot is now on the other foot. We now protect Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Syria against Israel. In the long run, it will reach an equilibrium.
