it’s worth revisiting the mobile phone mast scare stories, the skills went elsewhere now they are doing the same for wind turbines

it’s guaranteed income for tabloids

not like the good old days

can’t wait for the skills shortage articles and the why oh why are germany doing so much better than we are? columns over the next 20+ years

one of the many things that annoys me about Truss’ time as PM is how it takes the heat off Osborne for his decimation of the UK and economic outlook

he really doesn’t get the hate he deserves imo

never underestimate lobbying and the caustic effects of the OBR which is in effect a committee of city bankers telling the chancellor what they can can’t do (created by osborne imo to make sure no chancellor can ever tax the wealthy )

anonymity has a place but what we see now does rather undermine everyone’s trust especially in a tabloid frenzy

we could have a mini oil price crisis between then and now if venezuela kicks off

i always cherish that moment that kuanssberg’s secret “government source” disappeared coincidentally on the same day Dominic Cummings got sacked

they listed the ghost?
