Problem is that she seems to be compensating energy companies by having the public pay them back the excess money over the next ten years. Unless she's going full MMT 'lol, money isn't real', that's going to still be crippling in the long-term.

there wasn't really any solution that doesn't massively increase national debt and this is a dumb way of doing it that stores up unnecessary problems but i'm relieved we seem to have moved on from the 'now is the time of the wolf' plan we were at yesterday

While her cocoon resembles a corn cob in many ways this is just intended to distract predators whole she undergoes her final metamorphosis.

The glimpse of the plan in de Pfeffel Johnson's speech was that they are going to make not letting Scotland have a fair referendum on leaving the UK a flag waving scarf wearing issue of utmost patriotism and drive as many pink men frothing at the mouth about it as possible, which if they lose the next general election and cant do anything about it will be funny at least.

dont worry, labour hate the SNP even more than the tories and also won't give them another referendum

Well yeah, modern apartment buildings are frames of steel and reinforced concrete. This skeleton bears all the load; the walls are mainly about insulation: they're not really supporting anything.

I've seen newbuild houses that are similar: some of them you could basically break into by cutting a hole in the wall with a saw, Wile e Coyote style.

At least you can fit windows, vents, etc. just using a hot wire.

Oh, without a doubt you are correct, but the Johnson hasw lived on lies his entire life. She thinks that flim flamming to whichever way the wind blows works. She was right, But she didn't pick the right poisoned chalice.

They ignored that those other countries adopted huge "do not use this on buildings over 10m tall" laws a few years later, presumably all for insane foreign communist reasons.

It feels like it's less that, and more that Kieth & Wes! are afraid that the tories will run attack ads where they are little pocket men in the pocket of Big Sturgeon, and instead of coming up with an argument for why an SNP alliance would be good, they just go "Nuh uh! We hate them too! Please like us! Please don't say in the newspaper that I like the SNP!"

Every loving election they fall into this trap, even Corbyn. I do wonder how the public (not the press) would react if a Labour candidate did just say "Yeah, we'll accept an SNP alliance if it'll help get rid of those blue twats." I mean when Labour vehemently deny it the press still end up running headlines about BRITAIN RUN FROM SCOTLAND, ENGLAND UNDER THE HEEL OF THE PERFIDIOUS SCOT, HELP HELP.

Yes, imagine being part of a union where one country tells the other 3 what to do regardless of what they want or need. Just imagine how much that would suck.
