    I'm glad to see the journalists see through the con that only favours large business - it's what the Tories are famous for. They don't like SMEs, as they can't be on the board of those SMEs. If the UK system wasn't designed to have a party in power and "the opposition" and was instead a better formed democracy then I don't doubt there would be a coalition in power now. The public see two main parties and the power jumps to and from them both every so often - it's stupid and not really much of a fair democracy, as is shown by the mishandling of this pandemic and the lack of "the opposition".
    Try Ireland: Scandinavian levels of taxation; public services worse than UK.

    Time to go permie.
    Only 'perk' of contracting in a few months will be no performance reviews, but boy, will you pay for that privilege.

    Erm, the one thing they CAN organise is increase in taxation - it’s going to be carpet bombing with B61s
