    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    It's an unusual commercial arrangement whereby one company freely enters a contract to pay another company and a trade body intervenes to reduce the price agreed. In the present case, Etihad are not a party to it. Even if the PL won, City may be bound by PL rules not to go to an external...

    Middle East Conflict

    If we got fined for fans' throwing paper planes, what punishment for singing genocide songs?

    The Labour Government

    If you mean he wants to stop people crossing the channel, it's one of the priorities. He's gone very quiet on providing "safe and legal routes" (which has been a bit of a mantra for Labour MPs) so that's probably going to be an internal battle. Even Yvette Cooper is reduced to talking about...

    The Labour Government

    Version Two. 1. "Do you want a fully-staffed NHS?" (If "No", end conversation. If "Yes" ask question 2.) 2. "Do you want more immigration?" (Stand well back.)

    The Labour Government

    And all the fuss is over the latter - a small fraction of the former. And most have ended up as legal immigrants because they apply for and get asylum.

    The Labour Government

    Being simple is thinking that has any relevance to a policy to end RTPB now, knowing how silly it's been.

    The Labour Government

    It's Tory hypocrisy (by Badenoch and some on here) that's the issue. But Johnson and Lammy were both right. Trump is a clear and present danger to the planet - and you have to deal carefully with insane people who can do damage.

    Middle East Conflict

    It was because everything was not rosy that Hamas came along - supported, lest we forget, by Netanyahu.

    Middle East Conflict

    Can we remind ourselves of a couple of the IHRC examples of antisemitism? "Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of...

    The Labour Government

    Nice try. Do you anticipate ending up having to deal with Trump, or do you try to prevent it? Yeah, I know, you could just leave it to the Americans, but if you think a Trump presidency is a threat to the security of Europe should you "do nothing"?

    Kemi Badenoch - Elected Tory Leader

    She tried it. Putting party politics before the interest of the UK now. And forgetting what her choice of shadow foreign secretary said about Trump's fomenting violence when he lost... https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/home-secretary-priti-patel-condemns-usa-violence-capitol-shocking-washington/

    The Labour Government

    What exactly do you want him to say? Badenoch in PMQ doing the same - trying to embarrass the government over past comments. How exactly would that help anything with the UK's having to deal with Trump?

    “City in crisis”

    We had a first half against Sporting where they looked as bad defensively as we did, and we still couldn't score. I did want a penalty when Bernie had his shirt pulled and was then pushed over.

    Budget 2024

    BBC's More or Less did an assessment of claims about how many might die because of withdrawal of WFA and said it was impossible to put a figure on it. How could you calculate the effect of having only a £1100 pension increase over two years rather than £1300 with the WFA?

    US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

    Simulating sex with a non-consenting under-age microphone. He's unfit to serve.
