Very icy roads and i expect you will have School Closures as well for another day. I know, i know. I know i sound like an old soul and so when i say this but she was brought up in cumbria, i was brought up in bolton, at the top of the pennines, i dont remembera single at the top of the pennines, i dont remember a single day when our school was closed. Our Old Grammar School in oldham. I know times have changed, health and safety rules the world, kids are understandably scared of slipping. In our day, you slipped and fell, tough bananas. And we all got by. I was slightly snowbound at the weekend, a Wonderful Party in oxfordshire and i couldnt help thinking, we have had two or three days of this and still motorways closed, trains dont run. I know its not the easiestjob in the world, and im sure many did their level best to keep the country running but you do think, why does this not happen in poland, in norway, in scandinavia . They spend a lot more on gritters and are a bit more in cont
Another reading so it could be changed, but it is the tone, the shift. It is what it means full stop theresa may tomorrow morning goes to brussels about a crunch summit about the start of trade talks. Now her negotiating hand is weakened by this. You have three different things, the arch remainers who now think that brexit can be stopped, people like lord adonis saying this is the first step, we can derail this. The arch brexiteers who always thought this was going to happen, something would stop it. And the tory party is furious with these rivals, saying it hands the initiative to the eu. How does it possibly help our party . The front page of the daily mail as welcome which we will bring up, it is reporting on this story. I think it will come, here it is, eventually. Jessica, the fact is, i know we all said, it is a hoary old phrase, a week is a long time in politics, theresa may last week flying to brussels was enjoying her eggs benedict, heurtaux stand her orange juice. She has no
The front page of the times, wrote to tell revolution. What is this about . A longstanding theme which has been going on for ages and never quite been realised about having road risings. They are charged per mile. Theresa road risings. They are charged per mile. Theres a lot of logic to that because of people are creating more pollution by driving more than theoretically perhaps they should pay more. Hitherto it has always been difficult to have the technology to make that work, things advance with the congestion charge in london overseen by cameras, perhaps it becomes more and more possible, clearly the road haulage association, lorry drivers are complaining about it, lorry drivers suggesting they will be penalised u nfa i rly suggesting they will be penalised unfairly and so on. Given the move towards electric cars, the amount of tax that the government will get from phil be one of those areas they are looking at at to tinker with, that will go down. Theyve got to make up that money
Have Public Sector projects and the government is going to pay for Public Sector workers. They must keep working. Thats a bit unfair when you have private Sector Workers also working who are probably facing also working who are probably facing a very hard time. And lots of Small Companies who will go out of business. 1000 people apparently already connected with the company not directly but you could be affected. The emphasis seems to be moving on to the managers at the top of this company. The metro has a fairly salty headline, taking the piste. This is the chief executive, a luxury ski home with six bedrooms and an indoor paul. He is in hot water. I am taking the piste now they cannot actually find him, he is either in his yorkshire home or his french ski chalets. They are making the point that it might cost taxpayers 600 million, and already a lot of redundancies being announced in these smaller firms that supply carillion, so obviously not one fact has started straightaway. The peo
Brexiteers will say we need a clean break, to make the most of the upside of having our own trade deals and all the rest. We want to get out and all the rest. We want to get out and do ourown and all the rest. We want to get out and do our own thing. Precisely, Jacob Rees Mogg who is a leading brexiteer and probably the mouthpiece of brexit along with borisjohnson is mouthpiece of brexit along with Boris Johnson is not mouthpiece of brexit along with borisjohnson is not necessarily saying anything new or that the Prime Minister has not set herself in her own lancaster house speech, and that is that she has put together a 12 point plan and its unequivocal in saying we must be out of the Single Market and out of the customs union. Whats interesting talking about the comparison with boriss intervention is the humility of invective that has been quite good on government because its got people thinking the government might spend more on the nhs once we brexit. It is also had the effect of h
