It’s just easier if government stay out of religion. Don’t promote any of them. No Christmas trees, no menorah’s. Let people celebrate how ever they want.
I mean, I believe both needs to happen. Change is moving on the consumer end, which is good, but a lot more needs to be done on the corporate end as well.
Agreed. These kinds of bills raise awareness of how bad plastic is for the environment. We need more people going to Costco and asking, “does this really need to be wrapped in so much plastic?”
I don't disagree, but we all have experienced this already. A few small things will be changed while plastic consumption rapidly increases to outpace any difference this made.
I don't think it's that wild of an idea to put stuff that used to be packaged in something other than plastic for DECADES back the original material it was packaged in.
Very telling that it goes negative the exact year the Brexit vote passed, and it has been negative since. (Shown in a chart in the article.)
Stocks are about expectations of companies making money, I find it unsurprising that expectations are generally down since Brexit.
The Russian Defense Ministry said it had recently destroyed six unmanned surface vehicles (USV) in the Black Sea. When asked for comment on the Caesar Kunikov, both Russian military and Kremlin spokespersons declined to comment.
Why is he being sacked? He should get a medal for succesfully destroying six USVs.
Obviously... Since the original announcement for the ban, they would have been planning for that... only for the wank stain of a government to do a uturn and delay it. I bet Ford have pissed a load of money up the wall trying to get inline with the timelines only for them to be slackened.
Being the first to introduce the ban by 5 years has driven a lot of zero carbon transport investment to the UK. If it changes to the same as the EU, then why not set up there. Can totally understand why Ford UK is pissed, it wont be around much longer now as Ford focus investment in Germany.
The statement is nothing but a dead cat to deflect from the heat pump scam that is coming. The UK has no buying power, so cannot dictate standards anymore. They can control standards within their own market, but for international products like cars they have very little say. The EU will be the ones to decide this one. If the EU pulls the plugs on petrol engines in 2030, then no one will build petrol engine for the European market. Building for just the UK will become very expensive.
This is aside from the fact that the Tories have very little time left in office. The Express posted this. Being a Tory mouthpiece, the Express sees this as something to whip Labour with. It is just a clown show.
I’ve been considering a heat pump for a while, could you provide more information about this scam? I’ve tried googling around, but a lot of the articles are light on details, and the video suggestions seem… disreputable to be polite.
If you’ve got articles to explain the issue to hand, that’d be helpful, but even a light explanation as to why they’re bad or not up to the task would be helpful
Odd that getting everyone to re-buy all their rulebooks again (and a good chunk of their army as their old lists don’t work) has seen a surge in profits. I imagine someone has raised the idea of doing this once a quarter to see what the market will bear.
If Bayern are serious about getting Kane, they can’t possibly think €80m would be enough. I don’t think Levy will even think about anything less than 90m pounds. If Bayern are unwilling to go up, then Kane surely stays.
I'm torn on whether Levy is right here. It seems crazy to let Kane go for free next summer when they can get this much money for him now. But I can't see what proven PL or equivalent striker Spurs would be able to sign behind him, especially with no European football on offer.
I imagine Levy's gamble is that Champions League qualification is worth more (the pure revenue plus whatever value Spurs put on the ability to attract better players) than what they're being offered for Kane now, and that finishing outside the top 4 for the fourth time in five years would pose more fundamental problems for their footballing and financial outlook - so they might as well hold Kane now and roll the dice for a top 4 finish.
Levy might be correct in this instance especially from a financial point of view, but didn’t he promise Harry kane that he could leave like three seasons ago, and then went back on his word?
Why Harry hasn’t kicked off/protested more is beyond me, he’s a world class striker at a mediocre club that is only going backwards. The dude should have left when pochettino did.
He probably learned during the City saga that there is nothing he can do. He signed the contract and that’s that.

Possibly, but that’s assuming the gamble pays off and they secure top 4. I have a sneaking suspicion they’ll miss out on CL regardless, Kane or no-Kane. I think we might we’ll end up with an “everybody loses” type of situation where Kane leaves for free next year after Spurs finish 5/6th.
A player of Harry Kane’s calibre could definitely make it more difficult for the owner than has done. But it just doesn’t seem to be in his character, which I admire, the dude just deserves to win some medals is all.

More than a sneaking suspicion for me - my base case is that Spurs aren't a top 4 side. The only way I see them making it is if being back in the CL is such a wrench for Arsenal, Newcastle and Man Utd that their league form suffers badly. It certainly wouldn't be the first time this had happened, but all three clubs are on paper better than Spurs and have been strengthening their squads over the summer.
Yeah I pretty much agree with you. Also, it’s typically Europa League that screws with league form. CL has a bit fewer and better placed fixtures (the thursday-sunday cycle seems to really mess with players’ recovery and schedule).
I just don’t see them getting top 4 with Arsenal and Newcastle being as strong as they are. To make matters worse Liverpool have addressed their midfield issues, and who knows what will happen with Chelsea, it’s not like their squad lacks talent and Poch is a good manager (don’t let his PSG stint fool you)
I wouldn’t be worried about that so much as the last 18 months of his Tottenham stint. People forget because the CL final appearance (which was a fluke) papered over the cracks, but that team was putting out terrible underlying numbers for a long time (even though the results didn’t always reflect this due to world-class finishers in Kane and Son).
I’m still not writing him off or anything, he’s done enough in his early career and the first couple of years in Tottenham to deserve a bit of faith, but there are more question marks than just the dysfunctional PSG period.
Full disclosure: As a Bayern fan, I’d love to see Kane with us, but I think there has to be a limit on the outgoing spend. The striker market is just broken right now.
Clyde Loakes, the councillor who led the introduction of the schemes, faced numerous threats to his safety. “There were some pretty hairy interviews with the police about some of the stuff that was coming my way,” he recalled.
Freaking heck. Let me guess, they were all drivers getting butthurt.
Walthamstow isn’t too far from my area, I’d love to see it expand here. I’m so sick of the Chelsea tractors.
A “rival operator” in the sense of route duplication seems utterly pointless. Assuming finite capacity and demand for tunnel crossings, that’ll mean halving the customers for each operator carries, reducing opportunity for economies of scale, increasing complexity for ticketing etc. Unless there’s some suggestion that Eurostar is price gouging (and they’re hardly wildly profitable compared to other operators) it won’t do much.
What we do need is more diverse routes with different destinations (so that not everything is a transfer at Paris or Brussels). There probably is capacity for that, but Eurostar (and other operators who have dipped their toes in) have generally concluded that the demand isn’t there to make the routes sustainable (at any price).
I registered when I saw this, just so I could share this really good analysis. It explains why expanding traffic through the tunnel (whether by Eurostar or competition) isn’t as simple as we might both assume and hope.
