    I assume the national Supreme Court will overturn that?

    Probably. I’ve been reading the legal take on it and they can plausibly make it go away. The constitution is ambiguous in a couple of relevant ways.

    On the other hand, the SCOTUS justices are manufactured by a more establishment wing of the republican movement, so there’s always a hope they might take the opportunity to deal with Trump in a way that doesn’t turn all his supporters against the party. Although he appointed three of them.. they aren’t his people and they aren't there to serve his agenda.

    What do we want?

    More bonuses for bosses, and complimentary beluga for smeds.

    When do we want it?

    Now!

    P.S. You are all going to have to show pay restraint, despite your rapidly shrinking standard of living, if we are going to combat this pesky inflation (while we scrap caps on price rises, and aid the banks in making a few extra quid on your burgeoning debt). We are the party of the economy and business. Mainly business, obviously...they pay the bills.

    Remember Jacob Rees-Mogg's bullshit plans to bring back imperial measurements as a Brexit bonus?

    Quoted message:

    the government has now said it will not change the rules, after 98.7% of respondents to a consultation favoured using metric as the main measurement unit for sales, as now, or as the only unit.

    98.7% is North Korean levels of voting. Has a government proposal ever been so badly received?

    Dame Caroline Dinenage conservative chair of the Culture Media and Sport committee, is currently doing the rounds talking about how sporting organisations are failing to take drug use in stadiums sufficiently seriously.

    There have been no updates provided on the tory governments dismantling of the emergency services, and criminal justice system. Remember the drill. We take your money, we make it your problem. Society is dead, the cash goes to our business partners instead. Less to follow.

    Those yellow scooter thingies in Notts have all disappeared. Company gone bust apparently.

    Apparently the council have put the service up for tender. Jim will be a hazard to pedestrians again before long.

    I mean.. isn’t that literally what has happened? The market provided, and the people said ‘you needn’t have bothered’. Investors lost their money, we all move on. Unless you want the government to lose money trying out scooter scheme that don’t work, this seems fine and very ordinary indeed.

    Depends whether you are trying to provide public infrastructure, that has benefits to other activity in the social and commercial marketpklace....or whether you are just trying to make a profit out of a independent monopoly contract.

    What do you mean there's no difference?

    Public transport / infrastructure (which I'm classifying this as) shouldn't need to make a profit. Especially when the mode we're subsidising is good for the climate.
