Programmer since the ZX80 days when a computer came as a kit you had to solder together yourself (and so long ago it was in black & white). Never been to pick up my A Level results, only ever worked for my own company.🇪🇺

I wonder how long it will take before the ever-growing ivy of local interests wraps around this project and slowly strangles it, ensuring nothing significant ever changes?

Quite a few people have told me it was a whole lot better than they were expecting...I suppose as a corporate event with everything being free helps!

Why on earth would you use the branding most closely associated with far-right nationalists?

What are they thinking?

If they think booking out the Christmas Fair is Cambridge "elitism" they don't know half of it!

Local companies, other than Arm, also book the whole venue for staff Christmas parties.

It's a little unlucky of Arm to attract the unwanted attention of The Express.

How to ruin the railways...brand it exclusively for the Brexit gammons.

To buy a stock someone has to be prepared to sell one to me.

Can someone please explain how such a transaction helps UK GDP growth?

Investing in startups is different, but here Reeves is talking about "stocks and shares".

What about a £500 limit on all donations (obviously including Labour's Union backers too)?

Christmas No. 1 surely!

I worry that lawyers like Starmer are only capable of opposing ideas, and by nature, they aren’t able to propose anything new.

It’s hard to believe Starmer has the ability to lead the UK out of the difficult situation he’s put us in.
December 6, 2025 at 7:15 PM
It's clear there's no chance of progress with Starmer & Reeves in place. They both need to go ASAP.

Business contributes to GDP growth by exporting more than they import. We need EU SM+CU to eliminate the extra costs, admin and delays Brexit has imposed on exports to the EU.

Labour haven't a clue. They have no plan for creating growth which is essential for keeping Яeform out of no. 10.

It’s unsurprising that a group of ex-civil servants and union bods don't grasp what businesses need to boost exports and drive GDP growth.

Hint: EU Single Market and Customs Union.

It's clear in the report. They are using WordPress - a web hosting platform used by millions of sites.

I don’t think they’re smart enough to see how much they’re being manipulated for the gain of others.

Brexit has left many people, especially Яeform voters, in a worse position, and not one of them will list their top ten benefits it has supposedly delivered.
November 30, 2025 at 11:29 AM
What a pair! They must know EU SM+CU is essential to get growth started so business can make their contribution to the GDP growth equation by increasing Net exports.

Sadly, there's nothing in the budget to help SMEs or growth or exports.

They are making a recession Яeform will ruthlessly exploit!
November 30, 2025 at 11:08 AM
Labour's stagflation will tip into recession without EU SM+CU so business can contribute to GDP with more exports.

Ironically, by ignoring Brexit - likely out of fear of losing a few red wall voters - they’re paving the way for a recession that Яeform will eagerly exploit on their path to No. 10.

They've been in Cambourne for years. They rarely do much harm but are reluctant to cross at the pedestrian crossings even if you wait for them.
November 28, 2025 at 1:21 PM
It's nowhere near good enough on Labour's big target, growth - and growth is essential to keep Farage out of No. 10.

SMEs know EU SM+CU is essential so they can export more and contribute to GDP growth yet Brexit is barely even mentioned.

Hopeless, just hopeless.
November 27, 2025 at 8:44 AM
Indeed, the Labour doom-loop will continue until they can be honest enough to recognise that Brexit has been a total economic disaster and EU SM+CU is needed to get growth going.

A huge win for Farage today!

What a disgraceful waste of money this whole thing has been.

"A route to a tunnel that doesn't exist" explains the utterly illogical termination in Grange Road.

Absolutely no transport benefits whatsoever just leveraging the TWAO to open up land for commercial development. Shameful.
