    They won’t be racing out of the city. The start is more of a ceremonial start, the start proper won’t be until after a few miles. They will gently roll out of town so hopefully should be easier to spot and avoid any potholes.

    9.9% increase in the fire levy and all to receive less back.

    Council have being similar for decades. As do the government.

    Why do we keep paying more to receive less? Where does all the money go?

    As part of my work on the Defence Select Committee, it was a pleasure to be able to take part in a one-off session on China’s military ambitions. The purpose of the session was to gather evidence on China’s military aspirations and capabilities, taking into account China’s regional and global objectives, non-war Chinese missions such as peace-keeping work in Mali, and Chinese actions in cyberspace.

    She’s even got herself a new seat in the commons – right behind the front bench. Probably in recognition of her scoring the winning goal to secure promotion.

    1.4% is still a growing population.

    You hit on the real problem. We need an ever growing base of people at the bottom of the pyramid to keep paying for the ones of the top. And always will. Or else the great big ponzi scheme will come crashing down.

    The solution. They put the fingers in their ears, go la la la la la and kick the can down the road.

    We can’t go on forever like this. Not building roads will not solve the problem and will have zero impact on the number of cars on the roads.

    They say that new roads = more cars and this is why they will not build more roads.

    Reality is that growing population = more cars. Without new roads there will still be more cars, they will just all be sat in traffic pumping out emissions rather than getting to where they need to be as efficiently as possible.

    If they genuinely want to stop the growth in cars then they need to do something about the growth in population. It is the only thing that will work.

    Don’t build any houses. Don’t build any roads. Don’t drive more than 20MPH.
    Message from the Welsh Government is clear. Wales is closed to new business.

    It’s only class 2 scooters that are not legal on the roads (except where there is no pavement).

    Class 3 scooters can drive pretty much anywhere except motorways and cycle/bus lanes. They could even drive down the A483 (provided they have a flashing amber light), which is a bit crazy as they have a maximum speed limit of 8mph.

    The leveling up funding works on a parliamentary constituency basis rather than a council basis.

    So Clwyd South and Clwyd West have won 1 bid each.
    Wrexham have won zero bids.
