I'm guessing that's a preserved Roman utility room. Is that a combined washer/dryer or is there another appliance behind one of those cupboard doors?

For one, this loss is cumulative year on year; and secondly, some part of this loss in unrecoverable. We have permanently given a leg up tofinancial services in Amsterdam, Paris, Frankfurt. FDI and manufacturing to France, Germany, Italy, Spain.

Great article. Starmer’s advisers, so-called “Blue Labour” (basically Tories) seem keen to win a race to the bottom against Reform, (basically UKIP) filled with Tory rejects and nasties. Starmer and his advisers look ridiculous by not realising how pointlessly unsupportable they look.

A simple approach would be to tell Mr Cole that he can choose to interview the most overt racists in our country (a man who'd chuck 90 MPs out of our parliament out on racist grounds & ban them from being civil servants) or to ask to interview government ministers - but that he can't do both.
