Delaying things because of inflationary pressures doesn't make the inflation go away either!
Delaying things because of inflationary pressures doesn't make the inflation go away either!Ps how do you properly build any significant new energy infrastructure etc in a country where we can’t even build transport infrastructure in a timely, cost efficient manner. Everything just gets bogged down in nonsense see HS2 as well as stuff like this…
Lower Thames Crossing planning application becomes UK's longest ever - at more than 350,000 pages, and costing almost £300m

There is a balance to be struck between having too few regulations as to be dangerous, and too many as to be cumbersome. As a layperson in this area it does look far too lopsided in the latter direction.Problem is due to these planning related delays, not only does the planning process end up costing a load more than expected but you end up having to pay a lot more for the project (as you say due to inflation etc). Happening in private sector as well as public and is one of the major issues we need to address as a country
It’s a huge problem, all of our infrastructure projects always come in over budget with huge delays. At some point, a PM will get elected to have a bonfire of red tape.Ps how do you properly build any significant new energy infrastructure etc in a country where we can’t even build transport infrastructure in a timely, cost efficient manner.

International trade for SMEs is undoubtedly more difficult post-Brexit. For big corporations and the like, not much has changed.Wasn't that supposed to be a big Brexit benefit? In reality it's actually made it worse for many.
But you have to be careful. There tends to be an overreaction by both sides whenever change occurs. When we have a massive deregulation because of rules stifling business and growth. Then a few years later it all goes to shit because the things that we build as a result of that deregulation break and are proved to be dangerous (or in terms of the finance industry collapse and cause recession). Then we have a huge new load of regulation brought in to protect against that. An so it goes on...It’s a huge problem, all of our infrastructure projects always come in over budget with huge delays.

The prevailing mood of the country was that our state apparatuses were paralysed by a feeble Tory government riddled with infighting. We’re barely 18 months into a new Labour government and it’s unravelling. Putting party politics aside, it’s clear that the state is broken on a fundamental level.
Empathy man ffsWho words "who cares" spring to mind
Sally Rooney says UK prisoners linked to Palestine Action face ‘shocking mistreatment’
Exclusive: author urges ministers to engage with those on hunger strike, who want better conditions, bail and lifting of banwww.theguardian.com
Even soThey had a choice
Fuck around and find out
Even so
You think they should be treated like shit?
Must be so easy living in your binary world where no one makes mistakes and the world is neatly split into the deserving and undeserving
Did you read why they were refusing to eat and on that I agree it is completely up to themThey deliberately committed a crime which has to policed at significant cost
If they refuse to eat that is up to them.

I think they'll give up their hunger strike soon enough.They deliberately committed a crime which has to policed at significant cost

Actually (responsible) fasting is quite good for you.
You need some empathy my manYes they would like better conditions (boo hoo), release on bail (should have thought about that before they broke the law) and the law changed so they are not guilty anyway.
Honestly I have no time for these people and hopefully its a lesson to smug middle class people who think they can be above the law that actually they are now the same as any other common criminal.
Norwich MP Clive Lewis offers seat to Burnham for Starmer challenge
Clive Lewis says he would step down to allow Mayor Andy Burnham the chance to become Labour leader.www.bbc.co.uk
too much going on here for there to be nowt in it.
No way there is any seat in the country that Labour wonClive Lewis is an idiot. Doing his best to bring down the government (as if they need any help etc etc).
He should go and join his pals Corbyn and Sultana because he is doing absolutely nothing for the party he claims to represent right now
He can’t winHas anyone seen Keir's video to his son? Fk me I thought it was parody. So out of touch and trying so very much too hard. Beyond cringe.
At least keep private stuff, private. Weaponising the family, isn’t a great look at all.
He can. By delivering the manifesto to the people that voted for him. That way they' might do so again.He can’t win
Caught between a vocal left wing and vocal right wingHe can. By delivering the manifesto to the people that voted for him. That way they' might do so again.
The right wing didn't appoint him. Arguably not the left either.Caught between a vocal left wing and vocal right wing
No chance
What do you want him to deliver
The right wing didn't appoint him. Arguably not the left either.
He set out with a list of things that his parliament was going to achieve and an agenda for the five years in office, Start working down that list, it's what those who voted for him want. Ignore the noise, it's just noise.
You'd be surprised how many would respect that stance whether they voted for him or not, but as with most of this very poor crop we've been delivered in recent years, they are more interested in the social media profile.
His resignation or a general election.Caught between a vocal left wing and vocal right wing

Said repeatedly they seem to still be in campaign mode rather than governing mode - the comms (and subsequently the optics) have been terrible.
Come on man that's ridiculousThey had a choice
Fuck around and find out

Nothing new thereHe's actually a very grey man of no substance. The clip I saw recently where he crossed the floor to share a joke and a smile with Farage tells you pretty much all you need to know about all of them on all sides, that this really is a pantomime. Barely any of them have a backbone and even less have strong principles.
There was a lot of love for Ken Clarke after his QT slot last week, even by those who vehemently disagreed with him over the years, because even at 85, he was still clearly more than a spokesman and if anything demonstrated just how low the bar has now been set across both sides of the house.
He's just a completely empty vessel, he's somehow less sincere than somebody like Boris Johnson.Has anyone seen Keir's video to his son? Fk me I thought it was parody. So out of touch and trying so very much too hard. Beyond cringe.
