I've been thinking a lot about the future recently and what it'll mean for the United Kingdom and the world on the back of opening up a new coal mine and de-regulating the banks and the overall narrative around what this means. I'm trying to avoid the sensationalist thinking and genuinely...
...and a guilty pleasure which is brutal with a big, thundering sub. I'm seriously considering saving up a bit of cash and a bit of re-work in the car now just for the nostalgia of it.
I'm going to throw two in here. Both favourites from driving around with a sub that would make your stomach turn in the 90s.
The faster one

So a union representing it's members has some accounting anomalies - well worth investigatin.
Possibly not in the same leave as as corrupt individual Russian donors and KGB members (allegedly) given peerages.

I don't think it's a concern. The budget was a) not something it is possible to be fully prepared for given it is entirely confidential until released and b) it is broadly what Labour would have done. Lets see in next weeks PMQs after they've done their own analysis
So less than 5% fraudulent on a scheme which supported and protected 11.7 million jobs at very short notice.
I'm absolutely no fan of this government and no fan of wasting taxpayer money and am absolutely certain that this wasn't a deeply thought out and costed solution. I do feel that in this...
I think furlough was a pragmatic risk-based decision. Sure people would game the system and it would cost but the reality associated with not getting the scheme in place would likely have cost the taxpayer more long term.
The Oil and Gas part of our business is branching out into an increasing number of Hydrogen applications. Many of the oil and gas companies are pioneering green hydrogen applications due to it being carbon neutral and a good store of energy. They recognise energy storage is the key to long...
