If you work in the Kremlin, are you the one feeding Manji his information ?

It is Perm, where the daytime temperatures for the last couple of days have been around freezing, although it will get warmer over the weekend.

This is the PM whose "fair" tax cuts mean she and the chancellor are over £5000 better off whilst people on the average wage will get around £300, and those on minimum wage get a handful of loose change.

He may struggle, they are shy.

You will, however, get some money back from the support scheme: we have been notified that our DD is reducing by £67 per month, which will bring it back under £100pm, ( electric only, backed up by our store of fuel for the log burner ).

What has been capped is the unit price you can be charged, such that the "typical" domestic usage should not exceed £2500. If you use more than the 'average', you might well pay more than £2500.

I sspect the $US to £GB rate has an impact on the street price.

Possibly, but then again it's Yorkshire. However, I think we'll rag a draw and Warks will go down

It is nothing to do with policies - which probably are more 'class-ist' than anything else, what she said was that "when he speaks you wouldn't know he was black". That is not just racist, it implies that minorities should not be allowed access to a higher level of education if it refines their elocution.

Do you know nothing ? Unpaired socks go in the unpaired sock drawer. If it is good enough for David Gower, it's fine by me.

I wonder if the mobile recruitment centre can get through the queue.

"The European energy war will likely go down in history, together with the Treaty of Versailles and the trade wars of the 1930s, as one of the biggest economic policy errors in history." How is this an 'economic policy error' ? What else could we do ? No mention of Russia invading Ukraine and raping and murdering thousands of women and children, forcing the West to find a non-violent means of retaliation. Or should we have done nothing, and become complicit in the worst swathe of war crimes since WW2 ? Presumably he is yet another closet Putinista.

The IMF now weighing in. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63051702

Our local warbird nostalgia comes from a Bell UH-1 Iriquois, "Huey", which a local pilot keeps airworthy. He flies it over our house 2 or 3 times a month during the spring and summer - you can hear it's distinct thrum long before you can see it. https://www.huey.co.uk/

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63049044 "All the costings for the tax cuts revealed by the chancellor in the mini-budget will now be refined - and very possibly changed. The borrowing numbers will be calculated and revealed. The even higher costs the government now faces to borrow money - taking up even more of the UK budget - will have to be factored in. And all that will have to add up within eight weeks when Mr Kwarteng sets out his medium-term fiscal plan on 23 November. It is difficult to see how this will work while sticking to current plans. Either some of the tax cuts will be rolled back, slowed down or U-turned on entirely, or expect massive spending cuts. The spending cuts would have to be of a size that will be politically fraught at a febrile time. And yet the Treasury said in a statement on Monday that the existing Spending Review totals set until 2024-25 will be adhered to. Something will have to give. To earn back lost market credibility, the government will now have to show its workings and eventually will adjust policy in one of these unpalatable ways. And in the intervening weeks the markets will continue to test the government at every turn."

...

Grow some balls, think independently, and stop regurgitating Russian propaganda.

Provisional results show 97% of voters in a region where Russia illegally occupies less than 50% of the territory, and without the regional capital, voted in favour. I call BULLSHIT!!!!! Even Ferdinand Marcos didn't rig elections that well.

True, but this is a good second place

But is that a majority ?

Strange, because the UN Resolution demanding that Russia “immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw all of its military forces from the territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders" was sponsored by 90 member states, and 141 voted in favour.
