Well they have been taught by the best..Westminster is full of them.

No point scrapping it due to the cost of the roll out, scrapping it will cost even more. Sort the mess out don't just walk away.

It will be sorted eventually but it is the time being taken and the damage being done that is most concerning.

Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson has given birth to a baby boy - saying she and partner Jen Wilson are "delighted".

Ms Davidson said her son had been named Finn Paul Davidson, and weighed 10lb 1.5oz when he was born on Friday.

Announcing the birth on Twitter, she said: "Welcome to the world, little one. Know that you are loved".

Ms Davidson started her maternity leave earlier this month, but is due to return to work in the spring.

She and Ms Wilson announced in April that they were expecting a child after undergoing a successful IVF procedure, with Finn being born at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary on Friday morning.

And now another silly Brexit scare...

Quote:

Sir Vince - who appeared on the the Strictly Christmas special in 2010 - said a "cack-handed" immigration policy could stop dancers from the EU appearing on the show.

Brexit won't ruin Strictly Come Dancing - No 10

Downing Street has reassured fans of Strictly Come Dancing that the show is not at risk from Brexit, following claims by Sir Vince Cable.

Budget 2018: Extra £420m to tackle potholes

Local councils in England are to get an extra £420m to tackle a growing number of potholes.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46007351

Wast of money and why? Councils have a habit using cheap nasty materials that only last for six months if you are lucky. My council uses rubbish and the pot holes return anywhere from a a month to three months.

Don't bother jim, wait a few days for the numbers to be crunched and the truth to come out.

Jimbuna · 10-29-18, 12:59 PM

Fell asleep near the end so unless he gave something away after that point the budget was of absolutely no use to me and the bride.

I was hoping for an increase in the personal savings interest allowance.

Jimbuna · 10-29-18, 01:36 PM

^ Just checked and unsurprisingly ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in it for me or the bride.

Now for the expected post budget war of words.

Quote:

Philip Hammond has said there will be no "real terms" increase in public spending apart from on the NHS.

The chancellor used his Budget on Monday to say that austerity was coming to an end.

But Labour's shadow chancellor John McDonnell rejected his claims, saying more welfare cuts were coming and spending was still being squeezed.

Mr Hammond chose to spend a windfall from better tax receipts on the NHS, universal credit and income tax cuts.
