Delivered by a Conservative Chancellor, well done Rishi!

Good that they have got the money, but seriously bad that it will likwly be spent on a billionaire yacht lookalike using ancient loading technology 🙁 Wake up Isles of Scilly Steamship Company, this is the 21st century and all over the world Roll-on-Roll-off ferries have proved themselves to be a far more efficient way to handle freight.

BUT...will it have stabilizers??

Benjamin Matthews Do you want the frikken boats replacing or not? Jeez, the begging bowl was held out, £48 million was chucked in, and now you want to make acceptance conditional on some abstract DEMANDS. There's just no pleasing some people.

are cornish/UK companies going to build the boats or are oversea's companies going to get TAXPAYERS cash to build them???

Quite correct Andrew. I recently spent a few weeks on vacation in Spain and it was immediately noticeable the number of people that had their masks on when outdoors as well as inside. On return to the UK, very few people were bothering with masks! No surprise infection rates are up.

It's a simple, cynical, and lethal equation. The more cases, the more hospitalisations, the more deaths, the more medical kit and PPE, the more contracts for the Tory donors. Am I saying the Tories - or some of them - are deliberately prolonging the virus to gain financial advantage? Yes, I'm afraid I am.

We're shocked by Kwarteng's definition of " it's worked".

I am currently in Italy where the numbers are tiny. Everyone wears a mask, when entering restaurants and offices you have to show your GreenPass Italia with your vaccination certificate, and in the office I was visiting you also have to have your temperature taken before being allowed in. It's not rocket science and everyone is getting on with life, restaurants are full and things are the same sense of normality as the UK, except for masks and vaccination passes.

Seems shocking to me that so many MPs are not to be seen wearing masks in enclosed public spaces.

Here in France, mask wearing is still compulsory in indoor public places. Pass sanitaire compulsory for entry to bars and restaurants, we even had to show ours to gain entry to an outdoor event at the weekend

We’re travelling in France and Spain and everyone seems to be treating it as common sense and courtesy to wear a mask and social distance. It feels safer and we are safer here!

Someone, (not Einstein), said: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results!"

In all these other countries Andrew is there the same level of testing going on as there is in this country? With All these rising cases and hospitalisations how many of these people have been already vaccinated? how many have underlying health issues? what’s the average age of people going to hospital? how understaffed! still is the nhs? how many doctors and nurses are off sick? how many of the test results are false positives? how is it that we still haven’t got a test that is 100% guaranteed to give you the correct test result? how much longer do we have to be kept in this constant state of fear? how is your health or anyone else’s health my responsibility? People have been wearing masks now for over a year non of these measures work is it not time for letting people make there own decisions on how they live their lives ? let them take responsibility for themselves, cause it seems to me that very few of this protective measures have worked

There is no level of pressure that doesn't break the NHS. It's broken. I'm not entirely convinced of its existence. Instead of dogwhistling about further restrictions which are fine for middle class homeowners, why don't we use this opportunity to fix fundamental issues. Such as this one, for instance: www.ier.org.uk/news/uk-sick-pay-nearly-worst-in-europe-and-in-breach-of-international-law/

I have thought the same from the start of "freedom" Andrew.

You cannot quantify common sense,wear a mask reduce the risk of infections,keep social distancing , Flu hardly had a look in last year its here now, mix this with Covid and other respiratory illness you have a cocktail that is lethal to the NHS.

Is this the result of a policy that has worked?!! 😡

I’ve just come back from Majorca where I felt incredibly safe. Low numbers, compulsory masks.

The government’s attitude implies that it’s all over, reverse psychology going on here.

You need to be careful in wishing that the state mandates what is/are, effectively, removal of freedoms. I'm not saying that mask wearing is bad, I wear one myself, all the time, but if it were made mandatory then all sorts of problems would ensue. I think where this government is failing, is in not persuading people to do what's best, and explaining the reasons: masks, vaccines, distance ... we're still getting so much mixed messaging. And ... where nonsense is spouted in the media, social and MSM, the government must call it out publicly. It's a mess, but dragging the government continually doesn't help matters. As for other countries, no country has the "best and perfect" model.

Agree with you 100% Andrew

Can you add the link please? Or put it in comments x

I can’t see the link. Can you re share please?

Is there a link?

National Trust members need to vote for the anti-hunting motion at the AGM too.

The people involved in this revolting totally antiquated pastime need to take a good long look at themselves . Most lack any true deep connection with themselves and the sanctity of life so perhaps seek professional help to get over your psychosis.

Poor little poppet so cruel and totally unnecessary I can’t understand how anyone could do that to a little cat

It's just as barbaric when someone hits your dog and just drives off! Some people have absolutely no thought for pets or animals in general!

When you consider the damning verdict in the Hankinson case re. false trail laying and the recent exposure of how cruelly hounds are killed when they are too old, or do not show the required hunting instincts, it would appear that Hunts regard themselves above law and decency.

Signed. This has to stop. It is barbaric. 😭😭

Words fail me Andrew George. I cannot for the life of me know what’s goes through their tiny minds.

Well said, Andrew. This barbarism must stop.

Signed, but will these awful people obey it, I thought we already had a law forbidding hunting!

Makes my blood boil 😡 Signed & hopefully will make a difference 🤞

That’s heartbreaking 💔

Signed by me, and I will share of course !
