As a decorator I'm wincing at the angle of that, nowhere near the recommended 70Β°.

The national construction workforce is not big enough to achieve the numbers in the time frame they appear to envisage.

I think they are trying to grab in as many new people as possible while they can.

Get folks "onside" and then nuance the policies as they see fit?

My tinnitus is driven to its limit by the Northern Line, and the baking heat of the Vicky Line drives me to seek alternative routes whenever possible.

How folks ride it day-in day-out I'll never understand.

Of course it might help if the wealthy and showy within society didn't ensure that there's demand for drugs like Cocaine, Ketamine and the like.

There's evidence around that shows decriminalsising drugs reduces crime and serious health issues.

A GP in Scotland set up a needle room which drastically reduced the code issues of helping use...until closed by a Tory administration.

The "War On Drugs" certainly isn't working.

Buried away in "local news".
You'd think a story like this warrants a *bit* more attention.

Been in both the "home" and "away" ends at Villa Park when supporting Watford in the 80s... league matches and cup semi-finals.

20 animal species on the road to recovery: IUCN Red List update From three species of Arctic seals to more than half of all birds globally, several animals have slipped closer to extinction, according to the latest update of the IUCN Red List. However, 20 species…

According to the latest update of the IUCN Red List, 20 species have seen a positive change in their status: they’ve moved farther away from the threat of extinction, thanks to effective conservation measures or reduced threats.

Thank you. All we can do is wait and hope that all the evidence linking Farage to Putin and forces working against the UK comes fully into the open, and he is disgraced.

Until we get to the ballot box, a few years away, we have to put up woth the fucker. The right wing press and media (80% of what we mainly have) are right behind him and his "party" which is really a limited company.He is being engineered for PM.

He's probably been "hard on for Putin" many times in his shameful political "career".

A shabby, treacherous cunt of the lowest order.

A wrecker.

A friend of mine - a retired civil servant- worked with both Jenrick and Badenoch.

He recorded that Badenoch was a capable individual, whereas Jenrick was fucking useless.

He quite clearly lives in a dreamworld, where people never get stabbed and beaten in hooligan world.
