My head will explode if this happens.

To give it some context Sunak is on a -40 approval rating. His lowest ever following a recent drop of 6%. So in the big scheme of things it is going well relatively if you measure it against his only real rival. What isn’t going well is the population’s approval of politicians. UK politics is on...

Which part did you get in Scum? Hopefully not the lad in the potting shed.

Found this article from October 2021 quoting the document https://www.fromthemurkydepths.co.uk/2021/10/27/transport-secretary-criticises-ulez-expansion-despite-insisting-on-it/ Certainly seems The mayor is only doing as instructed by the government.

Seen that too and if true you’re right, that is a massive failure on labour’s part.

Apparently Dan Wooten is grifting for donations for his legal fees.

The odd thing with that is if the Tories are putting your policies surely the point is it’s because they can’t talk of their own policies or their own record.

It’s bizarre. It’s almost as if they’ve seen the movie Maze runners and thought it was a documentary.

We’re seeing the same with 15 minute cities. The right love jumping on this with huge conspiracy theories about mind control and lost rights. If you see a protest it’s typically bused in protester’s. Where it is happening it tends to be far more popular than unpopular amongst actual local...

I think that’s almost inevitable simply because of the throw away mentality we now have as consumers. They’ll be survivors but on the fraction of the scale we’ve seen in the past.

I find this hard to disagree with. I also suspect that battery powered cars are just a stop gap until hydrogen powered cars become more viable. I also don’t understand why the government also isn’t heavily investing in green hydrogen production right now as that in my mind is very obviously the...

I think to some degree he’s right. Tactically. Get into power. Then start being frank about the harsh reality of brexit. If he does it in opposition the Tories and their compliant press will use it against him. His best chance of winning the next GE is to make it about anything but brexit. Too...

Was it because of immigrants? No wait. Was it because they stole our bendy bananas. No wait. Was it because they stole our blue passports? No wait. Was it because they forced the metric system upon us? No wait. Was it so we could join the CPTPP? Was it so Boris could PM? Was so the Tories...

1.2M vehicles on the DVLA database are ULEZ exempt because they’re historic vehicles. The percentages of percentages get smaller and smaller the more you look into it.

The other ultimate irony about Uxbridge being up in arms about ULEZ’s is that it was the former mayor of London who came up with the idea and set the wheels in motion for the next mayor to take over. That former mayor of course being one Boris Johnson, their outgoing MP.

Only about 40% of the cars on the road are older than 10 years and only a percentage of them will be diesel, so you’re talking about a percentage of a percentage. I’d also bet that London bucks that trend compared to the rest of the UK precisely because it does have a ULEZ and has done for...

It’s a stop gap. It’s worked too in its objective. The BMJ say the evidence is irrefutable, it’s improved the health of people who live in the zones.

I wonder how many people who like to get all angry about ULEZ actually drive a non compliant car. Not many I bet. As older older vehicles inevitably get phased out just because they do ULEZ are going to become almost redundant. The thing I find strange is that this is the constituency that got...

That will undoubtedly be a disappointment for them. But the Selby result was massive even by by-election standards. Overturning a 20K majority is not something you see very often.

Lib Dem’s were always the favourite to win Frome. Apparently Sarah Dyke has been treated like a local MP for months so sure was the community that she would be the next MP. She had a full caseload before the election and is hitting the ground running. Not sure where people are getting Labour...
