York northern bypass dualling faces the axe as Station Gateway project costsΒ spiral Residents were softened up for some bad news on plans to dual the A1237 northern bypass a couple of weeks ago. Two Labour Councillors indulged in some preemptive handwringing and blame shifting. Despite Labour being in control at Council, Mayoral and central government levels, it was always going to be someone else who was at fault. The project, and the similarly affected Station Gateway scheme, face a financial meltdown. The funds promised to .pay for the schemes haven't materialised against a background of delays and high inflation on building costs. A constant procession of specification and contract changes has seen the station project spiral in cost from Β£25 million to Β£54 million.

Caught in the Air Traffic Control Chaos with kids at Manchester Airport. Took 6 hours for them to decide we were going nowhere

Jumped on train to London next day for hastily rearranged holiday

Jet2 then text next day get to Airport, hols back on, only to text 6 hours later, that was a mistake!

The Iron end the regular season with a win thanks to a first-half Carlton Ubaezuonu strike. Results elsewhere mean the Iron end the campaign in second place and are guaranteed the home tie or ties in the play-offs.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

I think M&S are going to see some great growth. Still focused on quality, but then you see 75p for a white loaf, they're actually cheap as well!

UK Total Till Sales Slow As Brits Tighten Budgets Before Easter Total Till sales growth slowed to +2.7% in the last four weeks, down from +4% the previous month, likely impacted by the later timing of Easter and Mother’s Day.

…and the Nielsen numbers are out today, which do include M&S, although less widely reported: nielseniq.com/global/en/ne...

They gave up their dignity and bent the knee, betraying both their customers and their country.

And they did it for money. Money they had no need for.

The result? They lost billions and billions.

The worst deal with the devil ever.
