A mad thought, at £100 a journey that's more than a cab or uber. How about subsidizing certain routes and time spans using a ring and ride model using taxi firms etc. Just need to get some checks and balances in place to ensure standards and safety.
Bus routes costing more than £100 a passenger are to be scrapped

What a needless waste of money. Well at least phone manufacturers will be happy. It also be interesting to know what the long term support would be for the two main phone operating systems. Some can't afford to change phones every few years. Oh what about accessibility.
No to Digital ID Cards!
Keir Starmer says everyone in the UK will be required to have mandatory digital ID. That’s not the kind of country we want to be.
Back our petition to say no to digital ID cards.

Looks like Reform and Finch failed with It's mad idea to have one single unitary authority covering the whole of Warwickshire. Common sense prevails

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.
We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

Today the Government had the opportunity to end the cost of living crisis, get Britain growing again and repair the £90bn Brexit black hole - by fixing our trade with Europe.

Brexit has cost each and every one of us £3,700 a year.
But instead of solving the problem, Labour are using Brexit as an excuse to raise your taxes.

🚨BREAKING🚨New figures reveal the true cost of Brexit.
It's time for Labour to stop being so timid and fix the damage done by the Conservatives' botched Brexit deal.
That is the best way to boost growth, put money in people's pockets and properly fund our public services.

I had my first outing last week on the Science, Innovation and Technology Select Committee.
On digital ID, I asked if the minister (Ian Murray) was aware of data breaches in other countries.
He said, 'government data is pretty secure'.
Convinced? Me neither!

That elephant in the room that destroys the UK economy is still there, still causing damage and isn't going away any time soon. Brexit was, is and always will be a catastrophe.
Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:
a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

Why I am I not surprised. HSBC appear to have a lax attitude to your average person. They lost the deeds of an aunts house, three years it took to fix their balls up.

Beareaved parents face ‘harrowing’ delays for NHS postmorterms
Shortage of specialist doctors means ‘service is in crisis’ according to chair of Royal College of Pathologists
Bereaved parents are enduring “harrowing” delays of more than a year to find out why their child died because the NHS has too few specialist doctors to perform postmortems.
The shortage of paediatric and perinatal pathologists is revealed in a report by the Royal College of Pathologists published on Sunday. It warns that the situation is “dire”, services in some parts of the UK have “totally collapsed” and families are paying the price.
37% of consultant posts in the UK are lying vacant
the UK has just 52 paediatric and perinatal consultants but 13 are due to retire in the next five years
just 3% of consultants think current staffing levels are enough to sustain their service
only 13 resident doctors are in training to become consultants in the specialty Continue reading...
