Problem is Healey has had a couple of recent interviews where he hasn't seemed to be quite on top of his brief.

The timing is, however, not going to work for Rayner and Burnham so it's going to be an surprise winner.

So born 1886, this course is in 1927 when she is 40-41.

I would be going for Jute Weaver as there were a number of Jute factories in London that seem to have been closing around then.

Looking at that list of shops from 1987/8 it’s remarkable how few are still around

We import diesel and its “ingredients” also form a whole other set of products.

Hence demand and perceived supply risks are higher than petrol.

Also we import more diesel than petrol so we may have issues with suppliers hoarding stock for their local use

I suspect it comes down to the public opinion of the (new) Labour Leader at the time of the election.

If Labour have any sense SKS (and Reeves) will be on the back benches and leaving at the next election. That will result in a very different result to if SKS remains.

In a building with dodgy electrics

Which is to say I don’t think the vapes are where the fire began but that amount of lithium helped what may have been very small fire grow very rapidly

In this day and age you don’t need a bag. A passport, phone and credit card is enough.

Nope that’s a 6 figure salary

I don’t work for any part of the government - earn a 6 fire salary and I agree with the anon opinion and have seen plenty of evidence that backs him up.

But then again I actually do research before making a comment because I don’t like making a fool of myself

I was actually trying to think why 2027 was possible and 2026 not and at the could you avoid an election side of things

after that it’s a matter of delegation which may or may not work.

The reason you can't be both mayor and MP is because the mayor is the Police Commissioner.

Remove the Police Commissioner part of the job and Andy could potentially double job until the next mayoral election.

They should have quietly just got on with it. I really can’t fathom how bad this Labour Government has been at politics - I know Starmer wasn’t a politician but even I wouldn’t have been this incompetent

I will never understand the desire to talk about it before they’ve quietly released it to the point 80% of people have already used it.

I like the idea of it but that’s because I’ve worked around Europe where the user story for confirm who someone is is - ask for their id, job done next stage

They haven't a chance in the 2029 election campaign unless they deliver something.

I'm very anti Farage but I'm not voting for 4 more years of nothing being done and shifting from budget crisis to budget crisis.
