'We agreed among ourselves that we should describe these people as 'patients with communications barriers'. We don't seem to be getting through to them.'

Its a man locally known as Dave again...
Yippee - trouble is people will now know why I like where I live - hint our communication links are better than almost anywhere else.
'nuff said.
I must admit I have never understood why this is the case but traditionally the LotO responds to the Chancellor rather than the Shadow Chancellor
Salmond was much slicker than this
We need to grow our way out of this, not push up taxes.
Where as here, it does seem the overt recording and push on targeting ethnic minority groups for extra push during the vaccine roll out is seeing results of increasing the uptake.

It also shows what a shallow person you are
His name is Sunak
Oh, Rishi Sunak
Please make me happy
This Budget Day.
Your coke addiction:
A sad affliction
Please don't take
My higher-rate pension tax relief
Away.
Anyway, the story - I wonder what the equivalent figure is here? Certainly last summer it appeared that the geography of positive tests were highly correlated with percentages of South Asian communities. Can't be anything like 90%, though?
Honestly, everything else pales in comparison.
But Mike is right that Yemen is a huge humanitarian tragedy, even if there are arguably bigger ones out there.
Other people do care about the terrible situation there.
I suspect a number of relatively junior positions with their managers shuttling back and forth to take their orders from Whitehall.
And living and spending in Northallerton or even Barnard Castle.
Hope not. But expect so.
Tax cuts not tax rises please Rishi!
Are most people worried about it? No, not least as it gets little media coverage. But objectively it's much more important than, say, whether Sunak extends the stamp duty holiday, because hundreds of thousands of lives are at risk.
Imagine if people were talking about the "magic money forest" in World War Two.
We need to grow back from this. A year or two is the time to think about tax rises, not now, tax cuts now.
We'll still be the leading aid donor there. Other countries need to step up to the plate too.
Twas always the best idea.
Oh. I get it now!
Setting the floor low to clear it easily in future years it seems.
Hartlepool 's holding out for the Home Office. Pritti can bring back hanging in a historical setting.
The plan was to hit £10 sooner rather than latter but I'll need to hunt for the details.
"How will you pay for it all?"
Nah. Me neither.
Now we get to the tax rises. Feel like this is going to be horrific.
So its being out of lockdown we're talking about, not being in lockdown. 🙄
The senior managers were moved first, so that they could buy the best houses before prices had increased too much. Then everyone else was moved, and so plenty of them had to buy the houses they could afford now that they were doing so after the market had closed the gap with where they were relocating from.
It did at least have the advantage of minimising the loss of senior managers, so the organisation didn't suffer from the move - as I've heard of happening with other relocations.
