The good news could be that if the Tories are still comfortably ahead, this week could see a rise in domestics as realisation kicks in of a rise in the £ accompanied by good yields.

The median house in London cost 12.8 times median earnings in 2018 compared with 6.7 times in 2002; in the south-east, affordability ratios have risen to 9.7 from 6 over the same period. New builds, thanks to the help-to-buy equity loan scheme, are especially expensive. The median newly built house in England and Wales costs 9.6 times local annual earnings compared with 7.8 times for existing houses.

Don't want to be picky, 5xy, but it's more than £200m/week now and would rise further, according to the head of EU budgeting, when we'd lose our rebate.

Tim’s Viewpoint
Parliament can REDUCE food prices by AVOIDING a deal with the EU and voting to end tariffs…
As a result, in spite of what the cynics say, no deal, combined with free trade, would result in lower food prices, and we also save the £200 million a week  in EU contributions, which government lawyers have repeatedly told us there is no obligation to pay…The EU is mistakenly regarded as a free trade organisation, but most imports from the 93 per cent of the world which is not in the EU are heavily taxed – by imposing so-called ‘tariffs’;.

Many of Britain’s problems start at home. Poorly insulated houses contribute to global warming. High rents put young workers off moving to cities where the best-paid jobs are. Insecure tenancies stop young couples from starting a family. Rising homelessness often starts with evictions from private accommodation.

The country needs a long term housing strategy. That includes realistic plans not only to increase the number of newly built houses but also to make renting a viable, and affordable, option for young families. Any solution needs politicians to stop protecting existing homeowners and landlords and instead be honest that some will lose out from the new settlement.

At least they recognise the real issues. ;)

You can have all English produce if you wish, no problem, but you are going to have to reach deeper into your pocket for it. I'm going to love watching your generation cough when you reach the tills in five years time if you are still around that is!

LOL

"Instead we'd be subsumed into the EU superstate as treaty of Lisbon kicks in, no control, open borders, single currency, EU army, no free trade without EU interference, unable to make our own laws. Ruination with no hope."

Sounds very similar to the nonsense spouted by preachers in the Confederacy of the South around 1863!

LOL

What is important isn't the colour of your currency or the warm and comfy feeling of sovereignty - which you always lose during trade - but the quality of life. If you think the quality of life is measured by the number of foreigners in your little village then I do feel really sorry for you as you obviously haven't lived.

The EU, The State, and apples.

"Anyone who lived in Britain in the 70s will know it as the time the British apple was massacred by the French-grown Golden Delicious.

Just as our apples were crushed by the 'Le Crunch' marketing campaign, along came EU subsidies to deliver the killer blow. Farmers were rewarded for grubbing up orchards because subsidies were given for arable land, leading to a loss of 2/3rds of British apple orchards."

And still, there are those who want to be part of the ongoing madness, - unbelievable!

Some nice quotes about Bob Willis.

"A great cricketer but an even nicer bloke"

Not a bad way to be remembered is it.

"New NHS Long-term Funding Act to legally guarantee extra £33.9bn a year by 2023"

A totally idiotic idea coming right out of the foreign aid playbook.

"New NHS Long-term Funding Act to legally guarantee extra £33.9bn a year by 2023"

Yes, and that will go straight to US pharma bottom lines via the backdoor. ;)

There is no perfect answer.

If Brexiters had not sent us on this task of forlorn hope we would not be in this desperate state of affairs.

after the stabbing look what happened to Boris' poll numbers..down immediately.

Boris should have gone out of his way to make sure he didn't give the slightest impression he was trying to make political capital out of this. He didn't come up to scratch there.

[minerve 2] 05/12/2019 09:24

I wonder when Boris is going to play the astronaut. I mean he has done and been pretty much everything else. LOL

I suppose if it buys the mind of a simpleton, his little PR tricks will have worked.

Then once he gets in, he can stealthily financially rape the very same people that put him in, but they are so stupid and ignorant they will not realise their real wealth is on a continual down trend.

It's not pointless at all, this has been trading in a range for several weeks now and I for one have been taking advantage buying and selling and picking up free shares.

G2, What about Scotland they're as much of a threat if not more, forget Labour, theres a whole nation north of the border which is intent on syphoning resources to service their unsuitable spending. Wlthout the drain of Scotland thr UK would be out of austerity years ago. In reality a labour government is likely tobe a coalition so limited on what it can do. SNP can continue to burn money. Infinitely bigger threat imo.

Free breakfasts to form part of Labour plan to 'poverty-proof' schools

Party will also vow to recruit 20,000 more teachers, cap class sizes and spend £7bn on repairs and upgrades

Heather Stewart and Richard Adams

Wed 4 Dec 2019 22.30 GMT



Labour is to promise free, healthy breakfasts for all primary-age children as part of a multibillion pound plan to “poverty-proof” England’s schools and boost educational standards.

The shadow education secretary, Angela Rayner, will on Thursday pledge to recruit 20,000 more teachers, cap secondary class sizes at 30, and spend £7bn on repairs and upgrades to England’s crumbling school buildings.

As well as expanding the provision of free breakfasts to all primary schools across England to help combat hunger, Labour would also pilot free breakfasts in secondary schools and introduce a new programme of “extended schools”, in the evenings and the summer holidays, to help all children to access activities such as sport.
