Even though we don't use bamboo for scaffold poles, as they do understandably in countries where bamboo is abundant & steel v expensive, both systems use planks of wood as walkways & they probably contribute more thermal combustability/value.

It's like timber balconies, the first sales people to the table were selling an unregulated solution; capitalising on a problem borne from an absence of appropriate regulation, 😂

Reliance is placed on “an unsuitable and insufficient fire risk assessment prepared by a scaffold contractor”. Obviously not saying a Hong Kong style incident is possible or likely - I simply don't know. But worth asking how safe we are and what we could do to remove the risk

The front page of today's Daily Mail refers to the 2025/26 budget as the one "we've all been dreading".
Remind me, how did they respond to the one where Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng fucked the country's finances sideways..? 🤨

Saying Rachel Reeves is the worst chancellor of all time is a bit rich from someone who supported Kwasi Kwarteng. #Budget

I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

Utterly classless from Kemi.
Desperate, personal, gutter attacks - not economics.
The few remaining sensible tories behind her, look mortified.
What an embarrassment to parliament she is.

Trump "Their big concession is they stop fighting and they don't take any more land."
Yeah. That's basically how surrendering works.
