It is a great graphic, but doesnt it just show that (apart from the GFC of 2008-9) that we are out of phase with the other G7 countries. We seem to bounce from top to bottom of the group fairly regularly. Not that I think that we will be top for a while.
Isn't that bounce simply an artefact of the way the data is being treated? You only have one data point for the UK, and it is being compared to the average of 6 over bits of data. So the variability of the UK data point will inevitably be greater.
But I agree it is a great graph. Not much sign of the supposed poor economic management of the last Labour government incidentally.
The graph does start in 2008, and the UK was bottom of the pile coming out of the recession.
That would be Osborne flat-lining the economy perhaps -- remember Ed Balls' hand gestures? Notice also the coalition inherited a rapidly recovering economy.

The 90-year strike price might have been the nail in the coffin. Hinkley C only has 35 years.
The technology is a leading first for Wales with the prospect of considerable interest worldwide and in enormous advances in tidal power. But we are only Wales, very sad and short sighted
"The technology is a leading first for Wales" I'll translate that for you: "This is enormously expensive and an unproven concept that will never recoup its costs"

How was it rapidly recovering? Rapidly recovering after a recession is normally 3-4% that didn't happen.
Despite Brown keeping the spending taps on max and running a £175bn deficit the Coalition only inherited an economy growing at ~2% and then kept it about there ever since.
The only rapid growing in that entire graph is 2014.

The technology is a leading first for Wales with the prospect of considerable interest worldwide and in enormous advances in tidal power. But we are only Wales, very sad and short sighted
So what if its leading how does that possibly justify an exhorbitant 90-year strike price?
The cost of investment for electricity generation is falling year on year not increasing. Solar and wind especially are seeing ever reducing strike prices for a fraction of the time. Why on earth is it appropriate to guarantee today that in the 22nd Century we would still be paying over the odds for this lagoon?
That's unprecedented and inexcusable, glad its been stopped.

Oh no those involved absolutely would recoup their costs as they'd have virtually a century at a strike price well over the odds. That's a licence to print money.

I don't know what Reg Race did to cause that but I doubt it was losing Tony Benn's personal vote because Benn never had one.

You're the local man but the fact is Tony Benn only got 50.8% at Labour's peak in 1997 which was only 4% more than Labour managed at their trough in 1983, lower than in any election between 1959 to 1979 and also 4% less than Tiny Toby received in 2017.

So what did he do to lose your vote ?
He had moved on from Socialism by early in the Blair era. By 2001 he was a Blairite Toady.

Crickey. Talk about a licence to print money. And it was a bolted on thing to a game already in development as I understand. With that kind of money possible on such titles I think I'm lucky to get any of the single player games I much prefer.
Technically the same is true in Westminster. Cabinet Ministers are appointed by the Criwn - the PM can ask them to resign but only the Queen can fire them
It seems to be rare that you get outright sackings, or even so outright that they can still be called sackings. IIRC Green was 'asked' to resign rather than 'offering' his resignation, and thus was able to be called a sacking.
That quoting is, surprise surprise, somewhat selective. And from early 2017.
If you haven't watched it, can thoroughly recommend - it was a really good programme, and the US ambassador seems a very interesting chap. So pro business.

Brexit’s favourite economist Patrick Minford is certainly questioning his underlying model. He now concedes Brexit is damaging the economy and agrees he was perhaps a little optimistic.
It’s only Russian trolls and numpties now pleading the case for Brexit.

The most pertinent comment was about the political nature of the negotiations - that this isn't a negotiation of equals, but a set of choices for the UK that range from less good to very bad.
Labour could slash the number of MPs needed to nominate a successor to Jeremy Corbyn, handing new powers to members and trade unions as part of a slew of party reforms briefed to trade unions.
Trade union general secretaries were told this week about the changes set to be proposed at the party conference, the Guardian understands. “This virtually guarantees that a left-wing candidate could succeed Corbyn as leader,” a source said.
The proposals include allowing party members to elect local council leaders.

Seems a little unnecessary - the membershio's backing of Corbyn shows that if you get onto the ballot a left wing candidate is able to win it, and for all the resignations and problems with his MPs he has had, I should think there are at least 50 plus who would nominated a new Corbyn.
VA-10 was won by 6 points by the Republican candidate in 2016. The last time it voted for a Dem CongressPerson was 1978.
That said it has, in recent times, swung both ways when it comes to Presidential vote - Bush by 11 points in 2004 Obama by 3 points in 2008 Romney by 1 point in 2012 Clinton by 10 points in 2016

It's the council leader change that would be dynamite. The McDonnell amendment is almost superfluous as things stand.
