Ask George Osbourne and David Willetts. You are a Tory cheerleader who studied during a Tory govt. You signed up to this. Or has the leopard eaten your face?

What possible justification can there be for charging graduates earning over ยฃ50k 6.2% interest, while their peers earning less are only charged 3.2% (and the BoE base rate is 4%) This feels like the kind of thing Wonga would do, not the British state

Following Saturdayโ€™s protest in Dublin by taxi drivers against Uberโ€™s introduction of โ€œfixed faresโ€, PBP TD Paul Murphy is calling for the National Transport Authority to set up a not-for-profit app for all taxi drivers to use to stop the โ€œuberisationโ€ of the sector.

Another way of putting it, relevant ahead of the Budget: if the UK had grown at the same rate as the US since 2007, our annual tax revenue would be ยฃ150 billion higher today. That's enough to fill the Chancellor's current fiscal gap 5x over.

He talks about a "helpful immigration officer" Irish flights, as Common Travel Area flights, bypass UK immigration. So either he is talking bollocks or he has confused customs with immigration.

If the direct flight times didn't work then BA from Dublin to Heathrow didn't involve a Terminal change at Heathrow.

I also flew from Dublin to Heathrow on the way back from Kilkenomics. There are BIG PURPLE SIGNS for flight connections which keep you airside. And you can then go on the T2 to T5 bus. Still,as I overheard you say in the reception of the Pembroke Hotel, you enjoy trolling the UK.

Today, I made the mistake of flying from Dublin to Paris via London's Heathrow Airport. This was a remarkably stupid move on my part, given that London, and by extension Heathrow, is located in the failing formerly-developed country known as "the UK". I almost paid dearly for

Itโ€™s trueโ€ฆthe age of neutrality is over for Europe. Between freezing the Russian assets and seizing Chinese company, Europe has made it clear it is just Washingtonโ€™s little brother. No sovereignty. Now the question is did it put itself on the winning side? And what will be

When you can't tell the difference between two courts. The European Court of Justice is the EU court, based in Luxembourg. The ECHR is established under the convention and is based in Strasbourg. The ECHR is nothing to do with the EU.

@GavinBarwell I still donโ€™t understand why ten years after voting to leave the European Union we are still signed up to European Court legislation. Nothing to stop us voting in Parliament on our own version of it. The Lib Dems want us to stay in EU jurisdiction as much as possible by ideology.

Not sure if you have a list of "things GBR prevents", @LordPeterHendy but here's an example from my local station. White patches cover "First Capital Connect" wording. How many rebounds due to TOC changes nationally since 1994 (and how much has it cost?)
