I thought SMRs were supposed to be salt based and around the megawatt range. The idea being they fit into [multiple] shipping crates but can be deployed on site and then replacedand refurbished when they need refueling.

Even if it's true, the figures haven't changed that much so it must have been like that all through the Tory government.

I suspect most of the Labour benches don't engage much in social media and largely ignore the newspapers. Perhaps that is half the problem but also, it keeps them sane if they don't take note of the 'stories' as they know the facts.

£2785.54 fine for erecting flags. I wonder if it is VAT deductible as it appears to have been sent to a business.

OBR casts doubt on story made up by the press because it makes no sense - there was no change of heart.
(there were probably many different budgets sent to the OBR and it would make sense to have tax rises in one of them as a baseline)

Perhaps is was Labour putting up taxes and breaking their manifesto promise ... and then u turning on it so that Wes Streeting didn't try and oust Starmer in a coup.
100% made up.

I'm easy on this. Perhaps all those Tory business owners have got in touch with their MPs and that has been passed to the HoL. The is how government should work really.
Labour have compromised to get the bill passed, something which will be far more common with PR - if it ever arrives.

I'd say the software approach is probably the best bet. All modern batteries log huge amounts of data about their charging and usage and I'd charge that directly. For the moment, assume the car is honest but legislate for new battery coms - a bit like your water meter.

I didn't see it. I'm sure she has more clue than you but until she comes up with a plan she is prepared to implement there's no way she will give partial sound bites for the press to speculate on.

I'm not sure I'd remove impartiality but it definitely needs clarifying.

I'm hoping at the end of next budget Labour set out a 5 year budget that is very popular and they stick to it. It will be a good sell at the next GE to show you are halfway through a good set of promises and that Labour will continue to deliver after the GE.

So who pays for your child's education? Who pays for their healthcare?
Your child does. Throughout their life their taxes will repay their education costs, health and future pension.
Parents put a lot of effort into bringing up kids and without them society would collapse - that is life.

If it weren't for the House of Lords it would all have gone through by now.
Perhaps this compromise can pass the law quickly and in the next session Labour can address this issue directly if needed.
Personally, I've met may new employees that really shouldn't come back for a second day.

You sound like that bloke that reads the intro to trailer at the cinema. Same voice, same tone, regardless of the film.

I'm relatively happy now but want borrowing at the next election. I appreciate the difficulties with that but it's a constant battle to grow when you struggle to invest.
I think Labour should go heavy on EU integration and investment at the next GE. I don't want to try and cling onto scraps anymore.

I'm not a Labour crank. I'm an anti-Tory/Reform crank. There's lots I change about this government but I voted for my MP to represent me and if I have an issue with any policy then I'll get in touch with them, it's their job to express my rational argument in parliament
Have you objected to your MP?
