So you buy the ingredients for your lunch locally. You have more time to pop to the shops instead of needing to do a big supermarket haul at the weekend (along with everything else you didn't have the time/energy for during the week because of commuting to & from work).
See how that works?

The private sector will work however it wants.

The public sector will see an increase in costs and a fall efficiency.

I am old/lucky enough to have gone to university when we had grants, not loans & fees.

Students are an investment in our country's future, not cash-cows for finance companies.

If we really must have loans instead of grants, then they must be interest-free.

I am so glad people are catching on to this. No, a surveillance state isn't about finding your cute lost puppy. No one is building camera networks for that. Peter Thiel, Jeff Bezos and the rest of the broligarchs are shooting their shot at a corporate techno state. www.ms.now/opinion/ring...

Something magnificent about Kemi Badenoch's self-confidence, and her claim that the Mandelson affair is entirely down to her asking questions at PMQs. Like a toddler who thinks their plastic steering wheel is controlling the car.
