How the fuck do OfQual know what’s high for a student?

Head on the radio was saying they were very careful to stay in the range of their three year average. Still got downgraded.

OfQual have totally fucked this up, and the next Tory I hear blathering on about unearned qualifications after coasting into Parliament on daddy’s money gets a throatpunch.

As I've said before - look at the way they vote not the words they say.

We value the nurses and NHS staff - vote down pay rises for them
We won't put the NHS up for sale - vote down something that would enshrine that commitment into law.

Also handy for a pyschopath leader who doesn't like any criticism or opposition who doesn't give a fuck what the rest of the world thinks because he has almost total domination of the image portrayed of him in his country.

Well we have had issues with infrastructure projects going on for
15-20 yrs now .
Maybe if we wait for HS2 to be completed part of expertise and workforce will be available to have a go at some serious DIY.
What an absolute failure our energy policy has become?

Hitachi Set to Exit U.K. Nuclear Power Project, Reports Say
Bloomberg ENG 15/09/2020 07:34
(Bloomberg) — Hitachi Ltd. is poised to withdraw from a proposed U.K. nuclear power plant, according to Japan’s Mainichi newspaper, the latest blow to the troubled project and the nation’s effort to replace its aging atomic fleet.

Hitachi’s board will decide as soon as Wednesday to exit the Wylfa nuclear power project in Wales, Mainichi reported, citing an unidentified person. Work was suspended on the 20 billion-pound ($26 billion) project in January 2019 after failing to reach a financing agreement with the U.K. government and the Japanese firm recently concluded it was impossible to restart work, according to Mainichi.

A Tokyo-based spokesman for Hitachi said Tuesday that the company is exploring multiple options and nothing has been decided yet. Horizon Nuclear Power Ltd., Hitachi’s subsidiary developing the project, declined to comment.

The U.K. government had put nuclear at the heart of its effort to attract billions of pounds of investment in new power plants and create thousands of jobs but has hit several hurdles. How to finance these hugely expensive pieces of infrastructure remains the biggest unanswered question as well as how much involvement Britain wants from foreign investors.

France’s Electricite de France SA is the only company currently building new nuclear plants in Britain and it is waiting to hear from the government how it can help finance its second new station — Sizewell C.

Prospects for the Wylfa plant were looking slightly better last month when Horizon said it was engaged with the U.K. government on reviving the project. The government is expected to give some communication on how it will finance new nuclear projects in its energy white paper next month.

Hitachi will be informing the U.K. government of its decision to leave the project as soon as Tuesday, according to Japanese broadcaster TV Asahi.

The Japanese company had been maintaining a small staff at Horizon and continued to push for planning permission after the government began reviewing a “regulated asset base” funding model, which curbs construction risk for developers by having consumers pay upfront for a new plant through their energy bills.

Planned U.K. nuclear power projects located at Wylfa, Oldbury and Moorside have been suspended since Hitachi and Toshiba Corp. were unable to secure private financing or partnerships. Over the last decade, Japan’s manufacturers scooped up nuclear projects around the world in a bid to supply their own reactor technology and support fledgling sales, but the risk of rising costs, safety concerns and stiffer competition from other energy sources has led to nearly all being scrapped.

Hitachi bought Horizon from Germany’s two largest utilities for 697 million pounds ($894 million) in 2012 with the backing of the U.K. government.

I was watching Kestrels hunting at Wylfa just a couple weeks ago whist having my bike-ride picnic.....I was about 20 yards out of shot to the right. Fantastic coastline around there & great bike riding country.

Angela Rayner doing PMQ’s today while Keir Starmer is self isolating. Could work out well this period of self isolation for Labour. Get as many of his front bench as possible to stand in against Boris. I think everyone of them could run rings around him. Demonstrates first hand how the Tories have been dumbed down.

having to give an apology is hardly a big disincentive to try and get away with it.

It should be a fine and a mark against your name. Three marks and it's an instant by-election and they can't stand in it.
