They said it would be £1.4m.

Just back from commemoration, with my bleuet (and a glass of fizz inside me).
I remember one year when the maire was reading out her speech, and it included a phrase about the guns falling silent. At which moment there was a fusillade from the local chasseurs in the fields behind

Norway finds out that its electric busses - produced by a Chinese firm - can be remotely controlled from China!
The good news of this is that the Norwegians realised this because they did a cybersecurity test. We need to think about, and test, stuff like this more.

Actual statement from someone who works for a Water Company on Panorama.
"Unless we're pushed to do something the environment is never our priority. Reputation and profit are the most important factors."
The whole lot needs nationalising right now.

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform....
Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.
It's time for Proportional Representation.
