And how are those on low incomes supposed to house themselves if they cannot afford to rent without housing benefit and there is not enough public housing, even if more is being built again?
Workhouses?
They seem to have closed a lot of them. Still one at Southwell though I had to pay £10 to get in or was it to get out I forget
Workhouses being reintroduced having been originally introduced by a classical Liberal government in the 19th century would I am sure suit Bart fine
Workhouses in their 'classic' form were set up under the New Poor Law of 1834. The Liberal Party was not founded until 1859 when the Peelites, Radicals, and Whigs merged to form one party.

Just came across this on Twitter - comparison of old and new maps, fully zoomable. Have discovered our house is built on the site of a fever hospital. Did not know that.
Eustice: "We did not actually need to give Australia nor New Zealand full liberalisation of beef and sheep. It was not in our economic interests to do so. And neither Australia nor New Zealand had anything to offer in return for such a grand concession."
Perhaps she had a, not unreasonable, view that free trade was a good thing, and that British consumers would benefit from cheaper lamb?
I never understand why pork is so cheap and lamb is so expensive.
I mean, pork requires more infra and work than sheep.
Weird.
Looking at pig farms (notably in Norfolk), and sheep farms; pigs can be kept in much closer captivity than sheep. My *guess* is that you get far fewer sheep per hectare (*) than pigs, much reducing the cost.
As an aside, my dad says that pigs are not dirty; they are very clean animals. It's only the way we keep them that makes them dirty.
(*) Acre for you
The other strange thing about sheep is how the fleece these days has virtually no value.
I think they get something like 50p for a fleece? And it's much more sustainable to use wool for clothes than synthetics.
Learnt from Clarkson's farm. More weird.
Shearing costs money; scouring the wool costs more, and is an energy intensive process. Turning the fibre into cloth is again considerably more expensive than processing synthetics. A lot of UK wool is way too coarse for garments anyway.
Annual cotton production is about ten times that of wool; synthetics nearly four times that of cotton. In worldwide clothing terms, wool is essentially an irrelevance.
Yes shearing can cost more than the fleece is worth. The Wiltshire breed sheds it's wool which saves the hassle. Also Easycare, crossbred from the Wiltshire.
NEW: ITV News/YouGov poll on the cost of living has found

I'm willing to bet he will now argue that 'classical liberalism' is wider than 'the Liberal Party.'
apparently they didnt turn off 2-factor authentication but they DID turn off the service that sends you the 2-factor authentication code. so if you log out and try to log in with an authentication code you simply wont receive one. lol. lmao https://twitter.com/zachsilberberg/status/1592228112770924544
All the people calling Elon Musk a moron will look pretty stupid if he turns Twitter around.
Elon Musk is not a moron.
He's an incredibly smart and driven person.
But he's also making a lot of very rapid business decisions, without knowing the technical consequences of those decisions.
I would also say that the skills needed to realise the opportunity in space travel by using standard components and iterating rapidly, and in electric vehicles, are not the same as those needed to nurture and foster a community of users.
Musk does best where he finds a very strong manager who can take his brilliant insights, and make them work. And who is also self confident (and trusted enough) to push back and be taken seriously. Gwynne Shotwell at SpaceX, for example, is the person who runs it. Elon has brilliant ideas and sees the big picture. But Ms Shotwell is the person who makes sure that things work as they should. That combination of drive & insight (Musk) and execution skills (Shotwell) is what makes things work. I am far from convinced that Musk has the execution skills needed to make Twitter work.
Should he find a strong COO, then that changes. But for now...
WA 3rd Congressional District - Ticket Splitting US House versus US Senate
First, current vote totals for US House
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Dem) 154,169 50.5% Joe Kent (Rep) 149,548 49.0% writein 1,733 0.57%
Numbers below show the difference between % cast for US House candidates in three largest counties of WA03, and % cast in these counties in US Senate race for, respectively, Democrat Patty Murray and Republican Tiffany Smiley
(Don't have full district comparison because don't have breakdown for US Senate race in part of one county that is within 3rd district.)
CLARK COUNTY (65% of total 3rd District vote) Perez +4.0% ahead of Murray Kent -4.5% behind Smiley writein +0.5% ahead of writeins in US Senate race
COWLITZ (14% of WA03 vote) Perez +5.2% Kent -5.6% writein +0.3%
LEWIS (11% of WA03 vote and also most Republican county) Perez +3.7% Kent -4.1% writein +0.3%
Conclusion - That 4% or more of voters who supported Tiffany Smiley did NOT vote for Joe Kent; instead, most voted for Marie Perez, classic ticket splitting.
In other words, way more than the current 1.5% margin of victory for Perez over Kent.
Also some wrote in another choice rather than vote for Kent or Perez; my guess is that the lion's share of the write-ins are for Jaime Herrera Beutler, the GOP incumbent defeated in August primary.

This is classic vanity investment combined with attempt to suck up to Sage of Mar-a-Lardo and HIS global pals.
Made at the top of the market, and clearly a bad deal very shortly thereafter, which is why EM spent God-knows-what on a court case that was less Hail Mary that Forlorn Hope.
Plus self-advertisement is Musk's true forte.
NOT quasi-mass semi-targeted advertising, which is THE way to make money via Twit'r?

There is a workhouse museum in Ripon I'd recommend but it was pre-covid when we went. The ticket also gets you into the old courthouse and the old jail.

Mrs Stodge, being the good Kiwi woman she is, got 5 out of 6 of the living former NZ Prime Ministers. She missed Geoffrey Palmer (no, not him from Butterflies or Reggie Perrin) but got Jim Bolger, Jenny Shipley, Helen Clark, John Key and Bill English.
As far as I can tell California has counted fuck all votes over the last 24 hours.
Maybe they've all gone surfing instead.
My guess is most counties are not scheduled to release more results until later in the afternoon-evening local time, which is now 12.30pm Pacific.
That's what's happening today in Washington State today, in counties that did NOT hit bottom last week or over the weekend.
For example, based on what I'm seeing on their webcams, King Co Elections is currently busting their hump processing and scanning ballots prior to scheduled 4pm Pacific (12 midnight UK) report.
Indeed Eustice himself points out that other countries, eg Japan, use the mandate of their MPs in trade negotiations as a form of ballast to push back against certain asks - that mechanism has been totally bypassed for UK trade deals… https://twitter.com/faisalislam/status/1592256213114572800

Sheepswool is fabulous home insulation. Very effective, lovely to work with (non itchy) no nasty chemicals. I don't know what central Government can do to incentivise its use, but it would be a very good idea.

Why do they always build castles at the top of hills

It feels the same about cathedrals: many seemed to be built near the top of hills (e.g. Ely, Durham, Lincoln). This was pointed out to me at St Davids, which is at the bottom of a hill; allegedly so it could not be seen by marauders at sea. Or because they wanted it to be protected from the weather.

It’s also right next to the bishops palace - saves him walking too far.

Elon Musk is not a moron.
He's an incredibly smart and driven person.
But he's also making a lot of very rapid business decisions, without knowing the technical consequences of those decisions.
I would also say that the skills needed to realise the opportunity in space travel by using standard components and iterating rapidly, and in electric vehicles, are not the same as those needed to nurture and foster a community of users.
Musk does best where he finds a very strong manager who can take his brilliant insights, and make them work. And who is also self confident (and trusted enough) to push back and be taken seriously. Gwynne Shotwell at SpaceX, for example, is the person who runs it. Elon has brilliant ideas and sees the big picture. But Ms Shotwell is the person who makes sure that things work as they should. That combination of drive & insight (Musk) and execution skills (Shotwell) is what makes things work. I am far from convinced that Musk has the execution skills needed to make Twitter work.
Should he find a strong COO, then that changes. But for now...
Where the heck is he going to find such a person for Twitter now ?

All the people calling Elon Musk a moron will look pretty stupid if he turns Twitter around.

As far as I can tell California has counted fuck all votes over the last 24 hours.
Maybe they've all gone surfing instead.
My guess is most counties are not scheduled to release more results until later in the afternoon-evening local time, which is now 12.30pm Pacific.
That's what's happening today in Washington State today, in counties that did NOT hit bottom last week or over the weekend.
For example, based on what I'm seeing on their webcams, King Co Elections is currently busting their hump processing and scanning ballots prior to scheduled 4pm Pacific (12 midnight UK) report.
Why do they always build castles at the top of hills
Plays hell with my angina
Very inconsiderate
It feels the same about cathedrals: many seemed to be built near the top of hills (e.g. Ely, Durham, Lincoln). This was pointed out to me at St Davids, which is at the bottom of a hill; allegedly so it could not be seen by marauders at sea. Or because they wanted it to be protected from the weather.
Have you named the only 3 on hills? Most I think aren't. York, Wells, Salisbury, Beverley.
The former cathedral in Edinburgh is on a hill - but so too is most of the Old Town.

I literally have no idea what that means. It must be a fancy American term for fucking about.
Can you please tell your compatriots to stop taking fannying around to a new art form and count the fucking votes?
"busting a hump" = working hard
Sorry, but speedy clearing of your election bets is NOT a priority.
Though why California IS so sloooooow is a puzzle. They have valid votes still arriving BUT so do OR and WA.
Yeah, it's bollocks though, innit?
We and India manage to count in a day.
It might be lack of resources, a sloppy postal service, a lack of organisation, or maybe a desire to keep the suspense going as long as possible, but it sure as hell ain't necessary or justified.

Purely off the top of my head, isn't York on a lump of slightly higher ground between rivers? (Not got my maps on this new phone...)
A 'hill' is sometimes a nebulous concept, particularly in the Fens. There's a campaign to stop the council moving Csmbridge sewage works to a place called Honey Hill. Which is not exactly a hill by most people's terms...

Poor.
I do accept several of the arguments as to why, in some of the close races, it might take several days with the methods chosen.
But there's a couple reporting less than 50% - none of the explanations, about being careful, and ballots still coming in, and really long ballot papers, really address being that much slower than anwhere else in the country. And it's not like it isn't known that California can take ages. If with all the other issues other places are still considerably faster what else is there? So it must be policy to not only not 'rush', but to not even go steadily.

The original cathedral in Salisbury (Old Sarum) is on a hill.

Next. Up to a point, Lord Copper. Defenestrate. Swivel eyed.
And how are those on low incomes supposed to house themselves if they cannot afford to rent without housing benefit and there is not enough public housing, even if more is being built again?
Workhouses?
They seem to have closed a lot of them. Still one at Southwell though I had to pay £10 to get in or was it to get out I forget
Workhouses being reintroduced having been originally introduced by a classical Liberal government in the 19th century would I am sure suit Bart fine
Workhouses in their 'classic' form were set up under the New Poor Law of 1834. The Liberal Party was not founded until 1859 when the Peelites, Radicals, and Whigs merged to form one party.
By the Whig government, which formed the bulk of the new Liberal Party. So it was still a classical liberal government

Could there not just be a cut-off point that votes have to be in with enough time to count them at the same time that everyone else's votes get counted? The system is farcical. When Nigel Farage stood in Thanet South, some boxes of votes went missing for a period of mere hours, leading to accusations that the vote was rigged to keep him out of the Commons. That was a few hours. Your system by contrast is so open to abuse that even I could probably rig it if I felt so inclined.

Olivia Newton John died on a Saturday night and they tried to tell us it wasnt of a fever
I dont believe it TBH
He's an incredibly smart and driven person.
But he's also making a lot of very rapid business decisions, without knowing the technical consequences of those decisions.
I would also say that the skills needed to realise the opportunity in space travel by using standard components and iterating rapidly, and in electric vehicles, are not the same as those needed to nurture and foster a community of users.
Musk does best where he finds a very strong manager who can take his brilliant insights, and make them work. And who is also self confident (and trusted enough) to push back and be taken seriously. Gwynne Shotwell at SpaceX, for example, is the person who runs it. Elon has brilliant ideas and sees the big picture. But Ms Shotwell is the person who makes sure that things work as they should. That combination of drive & insight (Musk) and execution skills (Shotwell) is what makes things work. I am far from convinced that Musk has the execution skills needed to make Twitter work.
Should he find a strong COO, then that changes. But for now...
First, current vote totals for US House
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Dem) 154,169 50.5%
Joe Kent (Rep) 149,548 49.0%
writein 1,733 0.57%
Numbers below show the difference between % cast for US House candidates in three largest counties of WA03, and % cast in these counties in US Senate race for, respectively, Democrat Patty Murray and Republican Tiffany Smiley
(Don't have full district comparison because don't have breakdown for US Senate race in part of one county that is within 3rd district.)
CLARK COUNTY (65% of total 3rd District vote)
Perez +4.0% ahead of Murray
Kent -4.5% behind Smiley
writein +0.5% ahead of writeins in US Senate race
COWLITZ (14% of WA03 vote)
Perez +5.2%
Kent -5.6%
writein +0.3%
LEWIS (11% of WA03 vote and also most Republican county)
Perez +3.7%
Kent -4.1%
writein +0.3%
Conclusion - That 4% or more of voters who supported Tiffany Smiley did NOT vote for Joe Kent; instead, most voted for Marie Perez, classic ticket splitting.
In other words, way more than the current 1.5% margin of victory for Perez over Kent.
Also some wrote in another choice rather than vote for Kent or Perez; my guess is that the lion's share of the write-ins are for Jaime Herrera Beutler, the GOP incumbent defeated in August primary.
Sounds great for ghost stories.
Made at the top of the market, and clearly a bad deal very shortly thereafter, which is why EM spent God-knows-what on a court case that was less Hail Mary that Forlorn Hope.
Plus self-advertisement is Musk's true forte.
NOT quasi-mass semi-targeted advertising, which is THE way to make money via Twit'r?
7 former PMs alive is modal stuff from the UK.
