If you voted conservative in any of the last four elections you bought into this commitment
I guess that over £90 worth of goods can mean anything from £90.01p to £90 tn so I guess that you are correct.
Over £90 worth of goods seems low to me.
Interesting. When I lived in Wales the complaints were that the lorries didn't stop on the A55 so brought no benefit to the economy at all. When did this change? I have been away since 2004.
Have you not noticed that the number of ferries running direct to mainland Europe, from Ireland, have trebled with demand being met by deploying ferries from the UK/Ireland routes?
Are your figures correct?
So, does that mean that vaccination can be compulsory if seat belts are not?
The issue is that there is seemingly not an agreed policy. My MP is calling for priority for teachers and not taxi drivers.
Your proposal increases the number of staff at the polling station by 50%. You would also need sufficient lanyard to avoid waiting for sanitizing- rural polling stations often have five or six people turning up at the same time (and lots of time when there is no one!). So it is more than having one lanyard for each person registered to vote (over 40m people). I would imagine that 80m lanyard and the sanitizing pot will cost more than £31m without extra staff. If polling staff have to be sat by an open door for 15 hours I would imagine that there will not be a rush to spend a day doing that - regardless of pay offered.
Yes, it is a mess and has been for decades. The two reorganisation since 2010 have not cured it. There are too many self-interested people who care about "their" budget. The punters are rarely mentioned. We either need to abolish the NHS and integrate it into regional care hubs which include social care or we make social care a national responsibility. One of the issues is that the NHS is underfunded. The internal market has starved some areas of specialisms and it seems wrong for an area with a specialist unit to profit from areas that have no such unit. The paying for it is a combination of central capitation; local taxation to enable buy on to services and an element of payment by people. The basic service is free; if you want extra it is paid for on a cost+ basis. Bedside telephones should be available at normal rates - not 45p connection and 13p per minute. TV is chargeable as outlined. Menus above basic are charged as is enhanced nursing care. This will probably outrage those to the left of me. It is a pragmatic approach.
