RD to the Scottish Office. That could be fun, with the power to "direct" Devolved Ministers :smiley: -

It certainly can't be consigned to history. Nor be reduced to labels or just some territory to be fought over online for points in the War on Woke. -

Remember also that this was a very good area for the BNP in the past. David Exley was elected to Kirklees council and a Conservative councillor defected to them. -
Re: Like Brian Rose, Laurence Fox seems like a clear lay for London Mayor – politicalbetting.com
I’m sure you know you are spinning it, but I will politely correct you anyway. 🙂 I made a reasoned argument that it is not good in long run to be so ahead of the game, much like how the US allowed the Russians to get the first Sputnik up there - and part of my argument was the practicalities of not sharing the longer it… -
Re: If like me you thought your AstroZeneca jab was second best some good news – politicalbetting.com
There hasn’t been any mining for a while 🙂. There has been a Brexit, that needs to be delivered as a success. You may find others begging to differ that Maggie/Major/Heath/particularly MacMillan didn’t scoop good majority of working class support. I won’t, I will go straight for the good news for Labour, it may appear they… -
Re: Where’s the strapline, Rishi? – politicalbetting.com
I doubt it. It should, and perhaps will encourage more effective sick leave policies. And there is the hope of a ‘universal’ flu vaccine. Probably a couple of years off, but there are various promising efforts in very early stage trials. -

Re: The great Trump problem for the Republicans – politicalbetting.com
Give me a break. The last time my wife and I were in Scotland we both noticed the anti-English jibes that came about when she spoke with her American accent (typically "don't go to Edinburgh during the Festival, it's full of English" type of thing). Awful, awful place to visit if you are English. -
Re: Stopping the SNP juggernaut – what are the chances for Scotland’s opposition parties? – politicalbet
No reason why that would stop it , actually it would enhance it as it would mean a super majority for Independence and would force SNP to keep in line. -
Re: And so to Sunak’s budget starting with an announcement that parts of the Treasury are moving to Darl
Many of us believe that Nicola is more interested in social issues, e.g. gender self ID, hate crime bill, than independence, and that she has no alternative method of gaining independence if Boris says no to a section30 order. Also many of her MPs and MSPs seem happy to keep their comfy jobs and parliamentary pensions,… -

Because you can’t ask businesses to go from 0-100 overnight. Also, unless I am misreading, it is effectively being phased out over that period. -

Re: Even if Boris’s No 10 apartment refurbishment is funded by a charity a large slice of it will effect
Interesting. I have just installed a ground source heat pump. I haven't changed any radiators. Most of the house is fine. Two rooms were about 3 degrees cooler than target, so 18 versus 21, in the recent cold spell. So I need better radiators in these rooms, but otherwise OK. I replaced 2 oil boilers and with the RHI it… -

No none of them would cease to exist. If Northumbria went independent the legacy state would be England. If Scotland goes independent the legacy state would be the United Kingdom. That's the way it works, unless there is no continuity state, but there would be. -
