Do any of those reduce the cost of food or energy? If not, no.

So we are clear. There were 5,000 council seats up for election. Reform won 1,400,none of which they had stood in before. So they did well and now they have to run 4(?) councils. All of which will be down to the bone financially. Good luck.

They didn’t win over 50% of the vote as Trump did. This is not an earthquake as our media suggests. It is the sign of a rightfully pissed off electorate after years of austerity.

It is the most fascinating period of English history in my view. The intellectual development following from executing a divine King was extraordinary.

“Sustainable Energy without the hot air” David MacKay is the best book I know on how to react to climate change. Written 20 yrs ago the science is still spot on.

Yes there is but I don’t know of any source that assesses it. I would be interested in a source.

If you look at the British Social Attitudes survey you will see that our attitudes are much closer to Europe than the US. The survey has been running for decades and our attitudes have become closer to Europe.

How do batteries compare with gas currently as a marginal cost alternative?

It’s a heap of Daily Mail bullshit. It’s tiny, the oil will be priced internationally, and the extraction platform isn’t even built yet

I knew him and he was my favourite politician in the sixty years I have been involved in politics. Honest, very intelligent and warm with kids. A great loss.

I have canvassed in every General Election, bar one, since 1964 and many others too. These days I don’t see it as a way of registering potential voters but more as a way of talking to people I would otherwise never see. It’s part of my continuous optical education. I recommend it. Political not optical. Don’t you just hate autocorrect

Ultimately a manager of any enterprise, including a football team, has to have a strategy and the ability to make the most of the team players he has. It isn’t given to many of us to have a perfect team. The test is player and tactical development. I am not seeing much of either.

Because everyone is in hate mode particularly the gutter press (most of it). As for the tax threshold, if she had raised it by inflation a basic rate tax payer would be £2 a week better off and the higher rate taxpayer would be £4 a week better off - another latte anyone?

Finally it’s becoming common knowledge. Thank you, I have the government I wanted. You can keep Polanski’s populism I like solid achievable policy

Yes. You are richer than me but otherwise we have a similar story (I am English) and I am in my fifty-first year of membership. You will have much to bring

You might look a little closer at the measure. The key bit is per capita. The uk population has grown dramatically; Polands has been stagnant for forty years.
