We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
The SNP will be swept aside by Labour, they have singularly failed to deliver. Farage and Reform will spike the Tory vote in many constituencies. The Tories are in deep trouble and they only have themselves to blame for this whole fiasco. The massive mistake the Tories have made is to believe that the party membership comprising only 172,437 individuals is representative of the electorate. It is not.
"careful how you vote!!!" I will be very careful and absolutely concentrate on voting for whoever is most likely to beat the Tory candidate next time around. Thank you for your timely reminder. LOL
you can pick your stats how you like and i will pick mine. despite the current difficulties in germany, over the same period you quote uk gdp was 1.8% higher compared to the pre-pandemic level of q4 2019. this compares with eurozone gdp being 3.0% higher. in france it was also up by 1.8% and italy by 3.3%. but no you would rather crow about germany being in slightly more **** than us at present. lol
Immigration, Schimmigration fed up with all the wasted hot air on this subject. Personally, I could not give a toss either way. It is simply a gross distraction from the total failure of the governing class in our emerging third world economy. If anything in the UK actually worked (housing, NHS, transport, energy/cost of living, decent wages) I can guarantee that nobody else would give a toss about immigration either. LOL
As for Mondeoman1946, he may be right about the lived experience in the UK at the moment as a result of Tory mismanagement, but as for his apocalyptic views on the FTSE100. As China Crisis sang...... its just wishful thinking. LOL
What "string of failures" are you talking about? Since July this year these are the clinical trial and product updates:
Imfinzi combination improves PFS in liver cancer
Dato-DXd improved PFS in breast cancer
Enhertu recommended in EU for HER2-mutant NSCLC
Fasenra Phase III EGPA trial met primary endpoint
Beyfortus approved in US for infant RSV prevention
Against this you have ONE failure and that is in end-stage (non-resectable) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) one of the most intractable and inevitably terminal forms of lung cancer. Can't you read?
Interesting to compare our fortunes with those of our erstwhile suitor Pfizer! Pfizer slipped 1.6% to $28.96 Monday closing at its lowest share price since March 26, 2020, continuing the pharmaceutical giant’s struggles tied to declining demand for its Covid-19 products and essentially wiping out the entirety of the firm’s peak pandemic gains. There were many on here who complained that AZN was "off the pace" in the vaccine race and failed to monetize their competitive advantage when they got their vaccine into the clinic. Instead by concentrating on future revenues in Oncology and growth in other therapeutic areas they have avoided the Covid19 hangover. Who was smartest now?
Two things, then:
1. The crew (or anyone else) cannot possibly have "cleaned up" over 5 tons of toxic waste in a period of 2 hours while preparing to sail. In August 2018, Princess Cruises (A Carnival brand)’ Star Princess cruise ship discharged sludge from its exhaust system scrubbers in the port of Ketchikan, Alaska which persisted for months.
2. Carnival’s Exhaust Gas Control Systems (EGCS) are commonly called “scrubbers” which are used to try and remove non-combustible particles such as soot, incompletely burned oil, and ash, from its emission stacks. Carnival has decided that it is cheaper to use such systems rather than purchase more expensive low sulfur fuel. Scrubber sludge is a toxic mix of metals, such as lead, nickel and zinc, as well as hydrocarbons, sulfur, and nitrogen compounds. Carnival routinely dumps this toxic sludge into the water around the world. It is my impression that most people who cruise are not aware that cruise ships routinely discharge toxic waste water residue from scrubbers as the ships sail. However, there is a noticeable difference in slowly emptying the scrubber sludge tanks over the court of a week long cruise in the Caribbean before returning to port in Florida and inadvertently dumping five tons of sludge all at once at a port before a boatload of guests with iPhones.
2.
