This policy is so important. In particular the end to Buy to Let mortgages. The housing crisis in this country was ignited by Right to Buy but it's Buy to Let that has kept the inferno burning.

The solution to this needs to consider how small right to manage companies owned by the leaseholders can function going forward. The new legislation will expose these to higher costs and force those managing their own properties to take on expensive managing agents.

This would be great were it not for the fact that the UK sold them the weapons they have been using to commit genocide and also many UK ministers and MPs still accept donations from the genocidal regime. Israel is a state terrorist organisation - proscribe them Yvette.

You missed the most salient point though. He's admitted to bribery but the bribes came from a Russian agent. Surely that's receiving payment from a hostile state knowingly making false statements to benefit that state. So isn't that treason?

Prejudice disappears when it is confronted with reality. In the UK we used to have a drag queen presenting primetime family entertainment. We loved him (RIP Lilly). I grew up in a all white Welsh mining village but on TV we had the lovely black woman Floella Benjamin on kids TV so I'm not a racist.

I'm hearing some rumours that one of the writers is working on a Broadway version of Leyline High The Musical. Beverly Shank was apparently in Edinburgh to see the student production to prepare for the Broadway show rewrite starring Meryl Streep as Mx Talbot

Can we also add that Eurovision finds a more suitable sponsor than Moroccanoil which is of course nothing to do with Morocco but actually an Israeli company.

It's quite obvious that Mandelson was given the post because he had something on Trump with regard to Epstein. It turned out his own sleaze was worse so he couldn't save himself. Good riddance, let's hope this is his last farewell.

Sadly that's probably going to be a reality soon. France introduced dynamic pricing in supermarkets a few years ago. Public anger made then backtrack but would we see the same organised backlash here. Look out for those ePaper shelf edge stickers appearing in most supermarkets now.
