    But there will always be a lag. For example the electric vehicle is available but they are currently expensive and not in reach of a majority of the public (not just the base cost the cost of chopping in your old car, it’s not a priority for the average man/woman). A majority of people will...

    I agree with the premise and the underlying aim but realistically, in the meantime, the consumer will pay (until those alternatives are readily available). ps and that’s not even going into the impact on pension schemes which will have a significant exposure to these companies and are likely to...

    I think the Tory internet stuff is just an embarrassment and reflects badly on them. The fact that the truth comes out within hours just makes them look idiotic as well. But is the illegal student registration fake news ? The electoral commission previously found that Plymouth CC had broken...

    I don’t think was never planning on being involved in that Tony. If it’s anything like the shouty mess of previous party leader debates probably a good call. Very little to gain when you are likely to be shot at from all sides

    Also I see both major parties embarrassing themselves again. Tories childishly linking labour manifesto and hundreds (or more) students being illegally registered to vote in labour marginals I mean WTF ?!!

    The plans aren’t fully costed though. It’s suggesting the nationalisation plans are fiscally neutral and so are excluded and from what I’ve read so is the transformational fund (450bn - 250bn over ten years and 150bn over five). I do like some of the proposed policies though such as increased...

    I was bringing the accusations people are making regarding both individuals together Clint. I’m saying people will have their views and make their decision. In terms of anti semitism, I have to be honest and say I’m not close enough to the Jewish community to know what they might or might not...

    Agreed Tommy. Also a poor format. Needed to give time to both to answer properly and be challenged (probably needed two hours with a proper debate on 4-5 key topics....not asking what they would buy each other for Xmas and thoughts on Prince Andrew !!!!)

    The first one is accurate, it depends which half of it you want to believe. The below also suggests here’s not exactly always clear with the truth either... In October 1984, two weeks after an IRA bomb killed five at the Tory Party conference in Brighton, Corbyn invited convicted IRA...

    He said the institution of the monarchy is beyond reproach. Unusual choice of words but he’s a royalist. He didn’t defend him

    Let’s be honest its a tight call.... Corbyn - either terrorist sympathiser/anti semite or someone with appalling lack of judgement Johnson - calculated liar/untrustworthy leader or just plays the political game for personal gain. You pays your money you takes your chance. It’s impossible to...

    Benno is not quite as silky on the radio as he was on the pitch is he ?!! Good, hard fought, win today, especially when you consider the number of players out Only annoyance was some bloke a few rows back slating Westbrook in the last few mins when the lad had run himself into the ground...

    0.3% isn’t much (although £300m doesn’t sound so insignificant), that’s from just direct health tourism in 2012/13 on a nhs budget of £91bn, not wider costs of those that may not have ‘contributed into the system’. Figure would obviously be higher now as well. Without getting onto the whole...
