  1. Errr, working from home?
  2. And Boris gets to claim a second £115k per year for being PM twice??
  3. The difference this time is it is an online vote. That should stump 80% of them...
  4. Not necessarily Hamilton related, but the FIA announced nearly 2 weeks ago that Red Bull broke the rules, yet for some reason seem very reluctant to communicate any sort of penalty for doing so.
  5. They're waiting for Ralph
  6. If you think Liz has fucked your family over, spare a thought for Charles's...
  7. Hhmmm. Maybe the protest votes will be more damaging if this is what happens when a liberal democrat is in charge....
  8. Some MPs are suggesting Boris as Doris's replacement. I think that answers your question....
  9. *All Hallows' Eve
  10. Have you noticed the Governments we've had in the last six years?
  11. I think there's a 'lucky dip' every morning where they pull out a policy they will announce / denounce. Miss the daily briefing at your peril!
  12. So, are we back to the 'it's not his team' defence?
  13. I'm assuming we should be getting that back any day now then? There are 7.88 million households in the UK. If each of them is to cough up £68 to cover the cost of the failed firms (although why the public should be paying for these losses is beyond me as I'm guessing that the money owed by the failed energy companies is to Centrica who have a monopoly on supplies in the UK and own British Gas), then that will give a total amount to be repaid of £535m (7.88m x £68) : more info here Centrica's profits have increased fivefold to £1.34m this year, more than double the £535m cost of the failed businesses. More info here Although the £68 per household figure doesn't add up! Take the difference between the tariffs in my previous example and times them by 365 days and I'm paying £178.85 per year more that I was. Where is the additional £110 on top of the £68 going? I'm assuming it's not on 'green levies' as they have been cut from £172 last year to £153 this year : info here
  14. Quad erat demonstratum 😉
  15. Parents, rent house, cover any shortfall in mortgage if any. Keep the asset and have most if not all the mortgage paid???
  16. Parents? Wait for it to settle down, buy something else when it does when the prices come down.....
  17. Meh. What difference will it make? Our entire armed forces are capable of being wiped out in a single weekend. Why should it matter if the spending is cut and they're gone before roast beef and yorkshire's on Sunday afternoon? Monday morning is a bleak prospect however the money is spent.
  18. He uses a fountain pen, surely that's the ultimate sign that he's trustworthy and knowledgable?
  19. The 'cost cap' also includes the'daily standing charge' given that it covers the entire bill and not just the usage of fuel element. I have zero control over the increases added to the daily standing charge no matter how much energy usage is managed. I also see zero benefit when the daily standing charge is increased. To illustrate, in 2021 I paid a daily charge for electricity of 18.4p per day and gas at 13.7p. Right now, my tariff is 52.6p for electricity and 28.5p for gas. What benefit do I receive for the electricity supply charge that has almost tripled and the gas that has more than doubled - I doubt centrica or WPD have incurred costs in line with these rises for the delivery....
