I read somewhere (I wish I could remember where) that it is.

The fundamental that I suspect will never be addressed as there are too many precious reputations facing destruction.

The lack of self-awareness this moron demonstrates is breathtaking…

Tell me you're scared of Farage without saying you're scared of Farage: https://news.sky.com/story/mps-could-face-crack-down-on-paid-media-appearances-under-new-rules-13213270 On a broader note, I'm not comfortable with the notion that MP's should have no outside interests ("second jobs"). We...

Lord David Frost in the debate on the Budget Responsibility Bill that extends the influence of the OBR: Full text in Hansard, here.

Well, well, well. It's almost as though someone has plucked a scary number from their backside so they can use it to "justify" tax rises, while they spend like a drunken sailor on their friends and pet projects.

I'd like to say I'm shocked. But I'm not. It was wholly predictable, not least because... https://www.politicshome.com/news/article/probation-service-in-meltdown

You mean when it was to be replaced by Universal Credit, which Osborne undermined? Yes, Osborne's actions were petty-minded and stupid. Next?

Means-testing always requires some form of administration which has an associated cost, and this is a primary reason why relatively small benefits - like the WFA - are made universal rather than being means-tested. The "trouble" with that approach is that it is open to (valid) criticism that...

I fancy you'll be disappointed in that quest. As others have said, take it to a dealer or an independent who has Star / Xentry and pay them to update the coding. Only Star / Xentry is able to do this.

And in the delusional world of Beaker...

It would appear that Starmer has found Schrodinger's NHS where it is simultaneously the envy of the world and broken beyond repair. Quite some going, that.

Abbott is, and always has been, a race baiter. In other shock news, the sun will set tonight and rise again tomorrow morning.

Pinched from elsewhere: “This morning, I found a great big black hole in my finances. So I've just given the cleaner, the cook and the butler 15% pay rises, ordered a new Range Rover, ripped out my perfectly good boiler and installed a heat pump, and turfed my Mum out on the street. Vote Labour!”
