I'm rather fond of the northern region of Mallorca Trek.

Have some great memories of taking the Mrs to Formentor point on a scooter & the switchback roads to Soller.

Have a good one whichever island you're going to,

Off anywhere nice Trek?

November election.

What do we forecast Tecaners?

I have a feeling for .5 reduction today with another .25 from the BoE tomorrow.

I think he & Huw Edwards can join Hamas & co on the winners list.

That's how I read the price drop too Cheapshares.

Ps I've deliberately ignored the illegals and the gangs from the winners list as I'm not keen on going to prison.

So the first casualties have been schoolchildren, pensioners and the disabled, whilst the winners so far have been Hamas, militant unions and criminals.

That's been one hell of a start and further we've been warned of even worse to come in the Budget.

Still, at least everything was fully costed and in their manifesto, so that's fine.

Whilst it's worth remembering the worldwide supply problems and overall panic in the NHS at the time, IF ANY politician is found to have abused their position they should be hung, drawn & quartered.

I hope you're right Kenny but having seen Wes Streeting's comments on their VAT attack on education, which was basically we did tell you, so tough, and the reaction to their own MP's concerns on the two child cap, I'm not so sure attacking anything is off the table.

Large majorities should be good but the current one coupled with no real opposition is more akin to a dictatorship.

Mr Slit Throat councillor pleads NOT GUILTY.

Warnings have been ignored by ALL Governments going right back to 1992.

I'm not personally comfortable with political point scoring on such a tragic event.

Top up below £46.00 as a LTH.

Cheers.

Three years in prison for threatening to kill a Labour MP, £85 fine for threatening to kill a Reform MP.

I didn't mention any source so I'm slightly puzzled at your right wing press insinuation.

Thanks for confirming that not a single one of them is behind bars.

The general feeling of a two tier approach is easy to understand whilst the labour councillor, the Manchester thugs and the Leeds rioters remain free.

Whether Starmer used his contacts and influence or not the underlying problems have not disappeared and despite promising they had a plan to smash the gangs from day one , ironically peddling misinformation themselves, this inaction is only making the problem larger.

Mick

100% spot on.

Nom

It certainly was a strange headline from the bbc & very uncharacteristic of them to downplay it.

Links will be removed but if you search for Lord Ramsbotham on the Guardian he wrote a very scathing report on the prisons just prior to the 2010 election. As a former Chief Inspector of Prisons I'd hope he would have known what he was talking about!

Nom

In the words of Galloway, two checks.

The exact same criticisms about both the state of the prisons & the mess inherited were heard in 2010.

Personally I don't want to see shorter sentences but I doubt I'm the only person struggling with 'fraudsters, drug dealers, burglars, arsonists, thieves and people who committed serious driving offences' being released early specifically to accommodate, amongst others, those who have posted offensive nonsense on social media. According to the bbc a chap has just been imprisoned for "shouting at a police dog."

This new fashion of blaming everything on Farage is coming across as a classic deflection tactic. Other than minor power sharing a few times with the puddle party, both Labour & the Tories have been at the helm continuously for over 100 years and, perhaps with the exception of the 60s, it's been pretty much a downward slope.
