Not sure if you're being faecesious

Going to be hard to beat that headline

I think thats right for Truss and Co But thats not the way backbenchers think

The irony is not lost but yes. Raphael Bostic, president of the Atlanta branch of the Federal Reserve

To be fair, thats at the top end of his vocal performances, he can be much much much worse than that

US Federal Reserve worried that the UK might crash the global economy

YouGov aren't even currently in the group that had Labour out at a 12-13% lead before Thursday. YouGov were in the 8-9% group Thats a huge huge number for a YouGov poll Redfield and WIlton will probably hit a 20% lead by the weekend

Yes ours did the covid cycle lane road reduction thing on quite a few arterial routes. Typically no cyclists used them because, well quite frankly there are shorter routes the pedallers of this world use.... One in particular, West Derby Road was utterly ignored by the cyclists because it was quicker and shorter to just cycle through the park WHich brings me on to the dock road cycle lane. They've spent millions on building this from the city centre to, the boundary with neighbouring Sefton, heading north and to be fair, it is very well made so why aren't cyclists using this one? Well it's really an industrial traffic road and is often full of truacks at the one end queueing for the next ferry amonst the ones going into the docks for other dock / industrial reasons but even that isn't it, in the two or so miles it runs out of the city centre it goes past the new Everton Ground being built, right next to that (yes fact fans, Evetons ground really is being built next to....) a huge water treatment plant (they were called sewage farms if you are unsure) and just after you've left the shit cloud, round the bend is Nortons Scrap Metal Facility, where they do whatever it is they do on the one side of the road and then transfer it into mountains of shredded scrap metal on the dockside waiting for boats to take it away. How do they get the scrap from one side of the road to the other? Via a conveyor belt on a bridge which straddles the road, its not the best covered thing in the world and it really is puncture central. Still it was a nice photo op for Councillor Dick Small and his chums. Morons run Liverpool Council and my Labour Authority Sefton aren't much better.

Nope, you are confusing infrastructure with train operating companies. The infrastructure is already in public hands. GBR is just a reorganisation and rebranding of Network Rail

No, Farage is probably more dangerous given the Putin connections (what no never). italian Fash woman is pro-Ukraine And see above, She's already softened her stance on EU too, Farage would never do that either.

She already did the EU thing. Was against the EUro but is now for it etc.

But not the losses since last Thursday's announcement

You can nationalise the railways as each franchise comes up for renewal. Zero cost. 5 of the franchises are already government owned and most of the others with a few exceptions are up for renewal during the natural course of the next parliament No company seems to be able to make the East Coast Mainline profitable, thing is, when its back in government hands, it makes money

They are separate entities. Royal Mail is privatised. The Post Office is nationalised

Well no, not really because she'll sit there whilst the whole process is gone through again

Truss going for two records at once. Shortest time as leader of the Tories and shortest time as PM. If she does it, it will be an absolutely magnificent achievement

Well they can try that if they want to but I don't think the electorates memories are really that short

Didn't know they'd released new stuff, my wallet will not enjoy this

Never been privatised

Shouldn't take too much to work out who this is Sky News Blog

Most effective use of a Lada in years

This man / youth clearly gives no f***s about what he's doing here.

Depends on your definition of rich. Top 1%, yes Otherwise, no, not really

Something is definitely happening, another 5 manned aircraft claimed as downed yesterday (4 heli, 1 plane), there haven't been this amount of downed manned aircraft in such a short space of time for a while. Not so long ago, we'd go days on end with no aircraft shot down at all, now 10 in a weekend.

There appears to be a video out there of a military Commander in charge of a draft centre in Iruktusk getting shot (and possibly dying), it's not graphic though you do see him going down but it's still not something I'm putting here One way on not getting drafted I suppose. It does show how desperate these people are not to go to a war they have no choice in
