As they get older, most drivers accept that they cannot be as safe as they would like to be in all situations. It is a sign of maturity.

Mould and damp can be caused by tenants who can't afford cold draughts or tumble dryers, dry laundry inside and have to stew low quality meat. Humidity and damp are an inevitable consequence of extreme poverty.
Landlords can only fix the other problems.

The advisers who tell @RachelReevesMP taxing businesses will stifle economic growth are prioritising theory over reality.
Raising household taxes will obviously stifle growth.

Millions of households to be hit with Budget tax rises, Reeves signals.

It might be too late for this budget but Rachel Reeves should consider a business tax based on profit per head.

Per head means if a few people make a lot of money by managing several subcontractors their profit per head will be based on the few of them.

Look at what liars do. Do not listen to what they say.

Widespread destruction of European-funded projects in the Gaza Strip.

European-funded projects have been systematically targeted in Gaza — billions lost, yet the EU won’t act. Silence is complicity

West Bank annexation: Israel in open defiance of international law

Never trust a @POTUS who trumpets his disbelief in the science of climate change. It's about persuasion and profit. The truth is irrelevant.

He believes every deal has a winner and a sucker.

West Bank annexation marks Israel’s latest attempt to erase Palestine — entrenching apartheid and daring the world to stay silent.

Thames Water just delayed its appeal to hike customer bills, how kind

Thames Water just delayed its appeal to hike customer bills, how kind.
Meanwhile, their reference to a ‘full return to legal, regulatory and environmental compliance’ looks to me like an admission of unlawful past behaviour.

Thames Water have been convinced by Ofwat to defer an appeal on increasing water bills, giving them more time for pumping sewage
