On the other hand it doesn't matter what cultural wedge issue the TV is talking about if you can't hear it over the screams of your dying relative.
US Healthcare is extremely successful in its primary aim of extracting the maximum amount of money from the people, much less so at health care goals.
62% of personal bankruptcies occurring through medical bills is a statistic that encompasses a tremendous amount of misery, even in a country where bankruptcy is rather more casually regarded than the UK.

There were disagreements on implementation but Churchill went into the 1945 election pledging the NHS too.
I'm glad I live in Britain.

Purge the rolls (disproportionately purging Remainers, though this was not the intention, which was to make Labour areas seem smaller).
Reduce House to 600 MPs so that every constituency must be redrawn.
Redraw boundaries on the new, Labour-light rolls.
Result: more seats in Conservative areas; fewer in Labour areas.

But this happens regularly in a large number of states with a Republican controlled legislature. It's a tactic the right learned from the racist Southern Democrat Jim Crow laws.
When two dogs are fighting for a bone etc etc.

The only CDU/Green coalition, I believe, and set to survive on these numbers.
What is your non-partisan (ha!) alternative?

Xavier Rolet, chief executive of the London Stock Exchange Group (LSE), said two thirds of the job losses would be felt outside Greater London, with the blow coming as soon as Article 50 is triggered.
Speaking to MPs on the Treasury Select Committee, Mr Rolet said the figure came from a report produced by professional services firm EY for the LSE. '

I think @rcs1000 of this parish suggested it about a year ago...
I have been critical of TM at times but generally given her the doubt in the absence of an obvious alternative but a time unlimited customs union is a red line for me
2) Many of those who weren't would have been new/new to area voters who hadn't successfully registered on turning 18/moving house.
3) Any others had been contacted NINE times to remind them to confirm their details.
It is also a consequence of Fox saying it would all be easy with dozens of new trade agreements lined up to go by leaving day, and then achieving precisely nothing in the next two years.
I hope your relative at Airbus is polishing his CV. Still, you’ll have your red lines.
That should be "an urban area", but my phone made this into azibijan and I am sure it holds true there as well.
I'm not saying it looks suspicious, but I doubt the journalist secretly absconded to admire the world famous Salisbury Cathedral.
Incidentally, I have a relative who works in Airbus too - used to be with them in North Wales (I have family from Rhyl) and then Bristol but moved to Toulouse about 15 years ago, so their children have grown up bi-lingual. He loves it - small world!
My son in law commutes from Broughton to Toulouse regularly as well as Germany and Spain

“The UK's financial sector could lose more than 200,000 jobs after Brexit, experts have warned.
Xavier Rolet, chief executive of the London Stock Exchange Group (LSE), said two thirds of the job losses would be felt outside Greater London, with the blow coming as soon as Article 50 is triggered. ”
A50 has been triggered, the jobs haven’t been lost, it’s not too early to point that out.
The hound hasn’t seemed keen on going out this morning - which is a relief. At least it has stopped raining here in South dorset.

The new station looks spectacular - they've done an amazing job. It's just a shame it celebrates the copper-headed lot.
