The French have something of a tradition of this too.

It is rather a lack experience of what makes a firm succeed or fail, how do you get your cash flow to work, can I make payroll this month? We could do with more actual sectoral industry and services experience.

He wants to annex it because it looks big on a map (same with Canada). He can then argue with Russia who is bigger.

The threat of insolvency at Dundee University. The whole university system is in an existential crisis with even the big brand names deeply affected. Yet, it plays out almost completely out of the public eye.

“We” being, I guess, small “l” liberals. But that is another word with many different meanings.

Support for deportations is much higher than I would like, albeit I am sure not 84%. Point being, it can be a relatively popular line.

Rather, a real Strategic Authority for the South of England would combine: Hampshire, East and West Sussex, Surrey and Kent. Combines the transport corridors and gives us a region similar in population to London. Better able to negotiate with London on the key transport routes.

All they are doing is re-creating the counties they are proposing to abolish: “Greater Essex” is, guess what, just Essex as it was in the 1990s. Same with Hampshire. Combining the Sussexes is hardly revolutionary.

The Tram Network has 2 aims. That Britain has 15 tram lines under development in 5 years and that the cost of delivering a line is reduced by half.

The US libertarians are a farce. What is the point of them? If they haven’t just acquiesced with Trumpism (because the Dems are so terrible?!) then they have just equivocated and sat on the fence claiming both are as bad as each other and refused to make a choice (in a purely binary system).

That makes no sense as he is planning to pass legislation in the outgoing Bundestag. Rather it is the CDU that has changed position. Regardless, he will need to get the Greens on board.

I know he is gone. But this is Deja vu, I really hope they actually deliver. Scholtz gave a rearmament speech three years ago then did absolutely nothing. As much use as a chocolate teapot that guy.

We have been here before with that wet lettuce, Scholtz. They need to see it through.

Well there is the small point that it didn’t actually happen, it was stopped before it cleared.

If they are cheaper overall and in the long run, how is it that the most recent CfD auction was priced very high! We need cheap nuclear and more interconnectors and location pricing. Pronto.

Our problem is the gap when the wind doesn’t blow and the Sun doesn’t shine. Right now that is filled with very expensive gas. Unfortunately, renewables are also expensive. Hence we have some of the highest energy costs in the world.

We aren’t at Holodomor or Great Terror right now.

We have several versions of water ownership in the UK for a comparison: Scottish Water, Welsh Water, English Cos (not been through PE ownership) and English Cos (that have been through PE ownership). An opportunity for objective review.

Wake up call for republicans?! Can I have what he is smoking. The Republican Party is broken, if Murkowski can vote for Gabbard, it’s long over.

That dude is also a trumpist clown, referring to Trump’s appointments as “competent”… I mean… does he know who the Secretary of Defence is?

I wasn’t advocating, just stating that it is the primary voters (who are impervious to your solutions, in fact they probably make it worse) that are the biggest influence on R politicians.

I canvass a lot and have spoke to many non-voters and low info voters. While the report makes some valid points, I am sceptical about a lot of it. A lot people just don’t care that much. They have other things to do and care about. We are the weirdos.

You certainly have some of that, I’d agree. But actually, the biggest influence on the Rs are the primary voters. They are trumpified, and “normie” Rs (in so far as they exist anymore) are terrified of them.
