Elphicke - like my own defector MP Christian Wakeford - is fucking awful. She'll fit in well in Starmer's Labour Party....... Really can't work this one out at all. She is utterly hideous and I've always regarded her as being from the Braverman wing of the party and (almost) as horrible.

In my opinion much of the problem with water privatisation is the monopoly each water company has over the area that they provide water for. There is no competition that would drive costs down whilst demanding investment in infrastructure. If you didnโt like the company providing your water and sewerage you could simply change companies. But of course you canโt do this the same as we can switch to other utility providers at the click of an iPad button. In hindsight water should never have been privatised. With other utilities weโve seen infrastructure improvements at the same time as shareholders have been paid dividends. You have to ask why and, imo, itโs because of the monopoly water companies have. Thames water arenโt the only water company struggling to maintain a decent infrastructure, provide clean beaches but continue paying shareholder dividends. In hindsight? It could only ever go one way. (As you correctly say) you can't privatise a monopoly. It is one of the biggest rip offs the British public has ever had to endure and it's sale can be laid squarely at the door of the Conservative government of the time.

Just your daily reminder that the Israeli government and IDF don't give a flying fuck about the people of Gaza and regard them all as terrorists....... I think you have to congratulate Morgan there. A lot of journos would have given up much earlier but he was like a dog with a bone there and quickly identified the holes in the spokesman's (pathetic) position. Sadly if he Morgan was an LBC or Sky employee, he'd be out of a job this morning.

Israel is a Paradox or rather the people who inhabit it are and also parts which they shouldn't inhabit The complexities in this part of the World don't readily register on the Western Psyche
Indeed.
I originally added my own contribution to the post, that being ... "just so that everybody is clear", which would have been my attempt at being ironic, to make the very point that you just have but I ultimately thought the better of it, in the fear that people might (mistakenly) think I was attempting to be condescending.
But, exactly, it's far from being remotely straight forward and as such, you can shove those often (deliberately) misplaced calls of 'antisemitism', up your arse!

Prepare for more interviews like this in the build up to the election where Labour and other politicians rewrite history with their complicit friends in the media. Thornberry absolutely taken to the cleaners here, as she ties herself up in knots attempting to defend the indefensible.

The more evidence heard the more it's a bloody holiday camp at the post office where no one was reading emails, frequently not understanding any email they did read and in the case of jarnail getting a job without the ability to save a document. It puts me in mind of what Hilary Clinton said to Gen Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker in the Senate Iraq Inquiryย "Despite what I view is your rather extraordinary efforts in your testimony both yesterday and today, I think that the reports that you provide to us really require a willing suspension of disbelief." Jason Beer KC is an excellent Prosecutor but he doesnโt need to elicit a confession from witnesses just expose the implausibility of their evidence to Wyn Williams to write his final Report. In a Court of Law I would expect a more adversarial approach to witnesses on Trial who I'd expect to sweating more profusely that Prince Andrewย Yes there has been many an occasion whilst watching the proceedings, that I've thought to myself, that if this was actually a court of law, just how many times so far, would we have heard the words ... "permission to treat the witness as a hostile witness your honour?"

Thanks We'd also need to factor in loan fees for some I suppose. Travers (with refund?), Iversen, Hoever, Cundle, Chiquinho (!) and McNally would have eaten into the budget a bit too. But I don't know really if we had capacity to buy more but the players weren't available, or indeed if we overspent and need to be more miserly this time.. Yeah, definitely. It doesn't give you the whole picture. Definitely a considerable sum on loan fees. www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stoke-city-transfer-agent-fees-9222037 Another 2m on agent fees too. But, still, something in the order of 5-7 on someone like JCS seems to be a bit of a step change, especially with no big sales expected. Could it be that it's QPR who have actually leaked the story to Percy and we have absolutely no intention whatsoever of paying what they're asking for him initially?

It goes way beyond embarrassing. Indeed. Every single person in the country should be absolutely livid. We are literally being robbed blind and given a bag of shit in return.

How can the BBC go into a General Election with a Political Editor that blatantly displays such bias?
If you didn't know who she was, you'd think she was a spokesperson for the Tory party, she doesn't even try to hide it anymore ...

Are you suggesting that the real reason he won't be putting his money anywhere near said airline(s), is because he wishes to appear virtuous to a handful of dudes on some remote football message board, rather than because he has some actual principles?
