What will the coming recession mean for the contractor job market?
Well if you consider that one of the most used products on the planet, concrete, has a huge impact on pollution, that's a bit of a false hope. Construction by definition will never be "green" because of the materials used, the fuels used, the pollution created by supplying those materials, the... -

Batteries go flat for government levelling up
Have to agree with the above, the pollution levels in just getting the battery building materials to the site were scary. Plus the local labour force hardly has the "known skill level" needed to mass produce a product which is quite volatile in it's preformed state. Was it just a "put them... -

DOOM: Hancock
Will he still get the "protection" of the Cons over the Covid fiasco now he's an independent? -

What will the coming recession mean for the contractor job market?
Always been presumed in my industry that once the building starts slowing down the country is truly in a recession. Now I can quite see many major road building, and possibly railway works being upended/stopped/cancelled to help fill the hole, from my point of view I have never been so busy... -

Bring Back Boris!
Presuming Boris wins again... Will he bring back his old cabinet in it's entirety, the one he had when he finally gave it up? Or will have a more eclectic choice in mind this time... Would he give Truss and Sunak another shot at a cabinet post? -

Inflation and grocery shopping
When my daughter and wife go shopping, obstensibly for two people each, my daughter always manages to spend £20-£30 more than my wife does on a weeks shopping even though a lot of the stuff wifey buys for me has to be of the "Gluten Free" variety and therefore at least 40% dearer. When you look... -

How did we get to this?
Kind of looks like that hole was always there, but the gov was directing atention elsewhere. Covid cost a fortune because the clowns at No10 got it completely wrong and let it kill almost anyone it caught, at some point they will find a way to prove it was the NHS that got it wrong not the... -

Mini Budget aka Fiscal Statement

Mini Budget aka Fiscal Statement
That's only a small bit of what he did. Virgin got a huge chunk of money out of his policies, he introduced "care in the community" completely ignoring that it costs more to look after people outside the care system, he privatised left right and centre. Do you rememberthe "Circle" fiasco? That... -

Mini Budget aka Fiscal Statement
Really? If you look at Hunt's history you will soon discover that when you looked past his press releases, you found a very different story – one of missed targets, lengthening waits, crumbling hospitals, missed opportunities, false solutions, funding boosts that vanished under scrutiny, and... -

Mini Budget aka Fiscal Statement
Hunt The NHS Destroyer can't lose can he? If he fails to steady the ship it's because Truss did them up like a chicken, if he does steady the ship it's because of his own brilliance. I bet he thought his front bench career was done, he;'s been handed a gilt edged reprieve.
