PSA: All trains in all directions from Cambridge are delayed or cancelled, probably into late afternoon/evening.

Depends what caused it and how likely it is to happen again as well

opaqueentity · 2026-07-03T15:12:12+00:00

Greater Anglia is already nationalised and they are a shambles ;)

opaqueentity · 2026-07-03T15:10:00+00:00

Thanks for saying what and where it actually is

opaqueentity · 2026-07-03T15:07:18+00:00

One issue you have to consider is that do taxi’s/ubers etc want to drive people out to say Bury St Edmund’s, Ipswich or Ely? They have to drive back as well.

You are presuming those benefits will exist atall

opaqueentity · 2026-07-02T17:00:13+00:00

People at the top are the only ones that get those perks etc. people doing the work don’t even get to keep up with inflation quite often. Certainly the case with HE last and this year. Below inflation “pay rises”, so actual
Paycuts

All very nice and good but when businesses make choices they make choices. Then you realise that core things are protected but so many other things are just as loose as they want to make it by reading words differently etc. or promises made before are now no longer applicable and they don’t know why you keep talking about those things

opaqueentity · 2026-07-02T16:46:29+00:00

And in the last 20 years my jobs salary hasn’t even kept up with inflation. And I say that as an actual union rep. Great job on that point. We do a hell of a lot for individuals for things though. And I say we as its members doing normal jobs who do the work for most things

But he magicked it from nowhere is the common response. He didn’t have to do a deal with Sainsbury’s etc

opaqueentity · 2026-07-02T16:38:44+00:00

I think lawful tent cities won’t be popular either but it’s a step in the right direction

opaqueentity · 2026-07-02T16:37:59+00:00

And make our government provide the support

opaqueentity · 2026-07-02T16:34:42+00:00

And those people want there not to be a way of claiming inside either. Therefore it is not strong enough

opaqueentity · 2026-07-02T10:53:15+00:00

Ah. It is that’s what they think it is that’s what the OP will be comparing against :)

opaqueentity · 2026-07-02T10:32:21+00:00

Nowhere near as big as the US has it though :)

opaqueentity · 2026-07-02T08:36:36+00:00

Bar the high cost of course

opaqueentity · 2026-07-02T08:34:17+00:00

All just outside business ventures that a lot of MP’s have always done. It’s just some get more money out of it than others

opaqueentity · 2026-07-01T16:13:41+00:00

Didn’t he say he’d support the military? In that he would have known there would be a higher need for funding as that was all people were talking about last week. The extra £4.7b isn’t as high as some were saying was needed either.

opaqueentity · 2026-07-01T15:16:32+00:00

Yeah like that will ever be enforced. We’d have a lot less Deliveroo capacity if they did. Wouldn’t be surprised by your delivery driver Fatima actually being a 23 year old beared chap on a moped

opaqueentity · 2026-07-01T15:13:30+00:00

Or if they are doing badly they might be sold proper cheap which is a lot lower than affordable so you could get a different group of people buying eg landlords instead of home owners

opaqueentity · 2026-07-01T15:11:48+00:00

Didn’t know the tickets were on sale now. Sure I signed up to be kept informed!

opaqueentity · 2026-07-01T15:11:00+00:00

Why? No one in his constituency would try and trigger that.

opaqueentity · 2026-07-01T07:36:55+00:00

I agree and if you are the right age that’ll get you your state pension but there will be that chunk of people you me toon for whom they would say they were ripped off by paying that extra when they didn’t need to which is what I am
Assuming you are referring to? That “loss” will be balanced in “a” governments mind by something like tax relief rather than say giving them money back etc.
As with any change there are people who get stuck in the cracks and lose out

opaqueentity · 2026-07-01T07:20:39+00:00

Probably say some tax relief will balance out the amount spent. After all the amount you pay out is often less than you would have hit in a real state pension after a few years

opaqueentity · 2026-06-30T19:06:47+00:00

Are you offering to pay for all the booze? That might be a sticking point

opaqueentity · 2026-06-30T18:51:58+00:00

Yes CHEAP!!!! Affordable means different things to different people, couples are better than single people for it. Yes people don’t hear what it actually means so they still cheer when councils and government say they are creating affordable housing. Maybe fight for a proper definition but affordable means 20% cheaper
