Using investment made during privatisation. But hey ho. It will be your problem, not mine. Enjoy your curled up spam sandwiches (a rare British Rail delicacy which you have yet to experience) and extra tax to pay for public investment in railways that never quite materialises.

The SNP is resurrecting the idea of full fiscal autonomy for Scotland — all Scottish tax revenues go to the Scottish government which takes responsibility for all spending in Scotland (bar a few areas, like defence). I say bring it on. It would stop the constant ‘gie us mair’

Is that the Rupert Murdoch I last saw/communicated with in 1994? Or do you have another Murdoch in your narrow little mind?

Read the book ‘Full Disclosure’.

Correction. The fast inter-city trains (TGV) are excellent if now somewhat weary, worn and in need of a makeover (tho money is tight). But the commuter trains are often poor. Also SNCF has debts of €60 billion, which it will never be able to repay and on which the French

Perhaps the first ever ambassador to the UK to drink Irn Bru. what a diplomatic star.

Here’s a reminder of when Andrew Neil completely skewered Angela Rayner on taxation. Incredibly, she’s now the Deputy Prime Minister.

Of course. With full fiscal autonomy the Barnett Formula is abolished.

In the week in which the UK government has given the go-ahead for the United Arab Emirates to own 15% of the Daily Telegraph I’m getting reports that the UAE has dismissed 100 British ex-military working on various contracts for the UAE Defence Ministry and told them to leave the

This is the French police watching this morning as scores of illegal migrants cram on to a boat and head across the Channel for the UK. Proof positive of the great return we’re getting for the tens of millions we’ve given to France to help stop the small boats.

Just watched the final episode of Mob Lands, at least for series one. I’ve enjoyed it so far but this final episode really was a load of old bollocks. Guy Ritchie should be ashamed of himself.
