@Tres A quick read of the 2010 Lib Dem Manifesto reveals this little snippet on page 39: We will scrap unfair university tuition fees for all students taking their first degree, including those studying parties, saving them over £10,000 each.

That's enough for roughly one Model 3 transport from the USA every month at 5000… -

I'd argue David Lammy has taken treasonous actions with BIOT, surrendered over Gibraltar and conceded the concept of reparations at the Commonwealth. But, not over a poppy. -

On Democratic Socialists, including New York's mayor elect: Here's what I asked about Bernie Sanders, years ago: Is he a DEMOCRATIC socialist, or a democratic SOCIALIST?

Re: The fairytale of New York? – politicalbetting.com
Meanwhile my old 16 year old diesel, (and it's 11 year old replacement) would do ~1000 miles on a tank. I'd find a typical EV very annoying if only because of the pratting about putting it on charge pretty much every night, compared to spending sub five minutes in the cheapest filling station in the area every three weeks. -

Re: Soon we could see the Greens second in the polls to Reform – politicalbetting.com
Britain's newest rail station: Beaulieu Park, near Chelmsford, opened Sunday. I took this pic yesterday: A fairly substantial enterprise, with three 12-car platforms, almost full-length canopies, two footbridges, two lifts, food outlets (upcoming), a bus station, two sets of loos, and a large car park, which seemed… -
