Perhaps is was Labour putting up taxes and breaking their manifesto promise ... and then u turning on it so that Wes Streeting didn't try and oust Starmer in a coup.
100% made up.

I'm easy on this. Perhaps all those Tory business owners have got in touch with their MPs and that has been passed to the HoL. The is how government should work really.
Labour have compromised to get the bill passed, something which will be far more common with PR - if it ever arrives.

I'd say the software approach is probably the best bet. All modern batteries log huge amounts of data about their charging and usage and I'd charge that directly. For the moment, assume the car is honest but legislate for new battery coms - a bit like your water meter.

I didn't see it. I'm sure she has more clue than you but until she comes up with a plan she is prepared to implement there's no way she will give partial sound bites for the press to speculate on.

I'm hoping at the end of next budget Labour set out a 5 year budget that is very popular and they stick to it. It will be a good sell at the next GE to show you are halfway through a good set of promises and that Labour will continue to deliver after the GE.

So who pays for your child's education? Who pays for their healthcare?
Your child does. Throughout their life their taxes will repay their education costs, health and future pension.
Parents put a lot of effort into bringing up kids and without them society would collapse - that is life.

If it weren't for the House of Lords it would all have gone through by now.
Perhaps this compromise can pass the law quickly and in the next session Labour can address this issue directly if needed.
Personally, I've met may new employees that really shouldn't come back for a second day.

I'm relatively happy now but want borrowing at the next election. I appreciate the difficulties with that but it's a constant battle to grow when you struggle to invest.
I think Labour should go heavy on EU integration and investment at the next GE. I don't want to try and cling onto scraps anymore.

I'm not a Labour crank. I'm an anti-Tory/Reform crank. There's lots I change about this government but I voted for my MP to represent me and if I have an issue with any policy then I'll get in touch with them, it's their job to express my rational argument in parliament

If I were innocent in court I don't think I'd trust my freedom to the average person but if I were guilty I'd absolutely request a jury.
Judges are rational, juries are emotive. Neither is 100%

You can trust a judge just as much as you can trust a jury but neither is 100%.
You can read an article in a newspaper and come to your own conclusion. That isn't what the judge did.

So for example, thefy of a loaf of bread would be a magistrate offence but theft of a car you could demand a jury.

I bet you can't tell me the current rules? If I shoplift can I demand a trial by Jury - you don't know. You are objecting to adjusting rules which you don't even know.
At least have an argument or even a potential scenario where a judge is likely to make an error a jury wouldn't.

Removing trial by jury for less serious crimes.
Currently some crimes are done by a magistrate, some by a judge and some by a jury. This policy is that if it's less than a 5 year sentence then a judge can decide.

So if I shoplift I should be able to demand a Jury as a democratic right? Nope, a magistrate decides.

You didn't say which crimes this would affect, only those it wouldn't but you do mention 5 years.
Presumably those in this list which have less than 5 years.
