    I can entirely see how both posts above have credibility.

    When the Farageists absorb the swivel eyed loons that are left in the remnants of the Nasty party there will never be a better time to divide mainland britain, the "south" and everywhere else might take care of England electorally?

    She's an impressively unlikeable person, much like Braverman and Patel.

    Will be marvellous to see how she actually delivers on all this knee jerk populist stuff she is saying to win not an election but popularity amongst a small group of minority right wing MP's none of whom were brave enough or credible enough to step up themselves.

    If she gets over the line and reality sets in she will be hung out to dry as yet another victim of the Nasty parties internal battles which always come first.

    Same will apply to Jenrick, it would be a great time to be a socialist if we had a socialist government with a big majority.

    But yeah, Taylor Swift tickets ...

    And remember - we paid for this.

    https://www.theguardian.com/politics...box=1729487113

    The in-flight catering for James Cleverly’s one-day round trip to Rwanda last December, while he was home secretary, cost £655 a head. Cleverly spent £165,561 chartering a private jet for his 11-hour visit to Kigali to sign Rishi Sunak’s deportation deal after the supreme court’s finding that Rwanda was an “unsafe country”.

    He travelled to Kigali with officials and a TV crew on 4 December and signed the new legally binding treaty alongside Rwanda’s foreign affairs minister, Vincent Biruta.

    It can now be revealed that the catering for the eight-and-a-half hour return flight for Cleverly and his 14 officials cost £9,803.20, or £653.55 a head, according to a freedom of information response given to the Labour party. The TV crew paid for their own food.

    He's not a Tory just now, but there's plenty of time till 2029.

    But the ferries ...!

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr54gv99dz1o

    Ministers are to take a direct role in overseeing the building of the HS2 rail line to try to "get a grip" on the rising cost of the high speed route between London and Birmingham.

    Transport Secretary Louise Haigh said it had long been clear that the cost of HS2, which could reach £66bn, had been allowed to "spiral out of control".

    She should get treated the same as anyone else would with assault even if he is a c#££. Two MPs have been murdered by the public in recent years, they should be able to go about their lives. As an aside I just think this let him play the victim

    Hope it goes higher since we get 10% to spend on what we want. Infrastructure projects in the UK are crippled by bureaucracy and consultations. In the UK our rail and trams projects cost 2.5 times the price of French projects. A good thread on the subject. The lower Thames Crossing's application in now 300,000 pages long and has cost £300 million and it's not even been started. Be like the French, Spanish, Norwegians and Germans just get it built

    Is Britain getting a bad deal?
    @Ben_A_Hopkinson
    and I looked at 242 infrastructure projects across 14 different countries.

    Our conclusion? It costs more to build new tram systems, railways, and roads in Britain than almost anywhere else in the world

    Phase 1 of High Speed 2 (🇬🇧) will cost £396m per mile of track.

    🇮🇹Naples-Bari Line: £74m per mile
    🇫🇷Tours-Bordeaux: £46m per mile
    🇯🇵Hokkiado Shinkansan: £51m per mile

    Local objections and protracted reviews mean new infrastructure projects cost far more in the UK and US than elsewhere

    The thing is we voted these guys out because of this sort of thing only to find the new guys are at it right away. Imagine how bad Starmer and his gang will be if they last 14 years?

    Think Steven Flynns case was worse than Starmer lobbying for a company then taking 30k from them. I think it's more a case of they are all taking bungs, which is obviously legal.

    Is that you saying that throwing a milkshake at someone is the same as murder? That's what you seem to be saying.

    At what? This is about Cleverley chartering a private plane and expensing huge amounts of booze on the public tab. Where has Starmer been doing that?

    She had a penchant for sending her chum Sir John Hayes classified home office documents in breach of the rules/law so he could tell her what to do.

    Helluva lot more breaches than she initially owned up to, whodathunkit.

    She really is symbolic of that whole cabinet and Bozo and the waiter's leadership.

    There's rules and laws for everyone else, but we will do what we like and if we do get caught lie or deflect and minimise our misconduct.

    What's the context?

    We spend about £1.6BN a year on prescriptions in Scotland , something like an average of 21 prescriptions per person per year. Is he saying those that can afford to should pay or is he saying nobody should get free prescriptions?

    What if by making those that can afford to pay saves £600M a year that could be diverted to other NHS services?

    (And nobody should get paracetamol on prescription as they are about 40p in the shops)

    The former. How much would it cost to implement and operate a system where some people pay but others don't? What impact would it have on the take up of prescriptions? Suppose I can afford 21 prescriptions a year but I'm seriously ill and I need 120 prescriptions a year. How is that managed?

    What if it doesn't save £600m but instead costs more to operate than having free prescriptions?

    Agreed. That's surely down to the doctors and people filling out prescriptions to make sure they don't prescribe such easily obtained medicines. Then again, what if someone can't afford even 40p for paracetamol?

    In England you can pay for an annual certificate that costs about £115 and you get all the prescriptions you need for that year, we could do something like that for those that can afford it. I am not sure how much it would cost to administer, but they seem to manage it with the winter fuel allowance. I would be surprised if people can't afford 40p? Maybe I am out of touch but are you suggesting people can't afford 40p these days?
