Wheat Loaf posted:I've been thinking, if tuition fees are abolished, does that mean I'll be able to get a refund on mine? I certainly hope so. didn't happen to previous graduates when the SNP abolished the graduate endowment. only the current lot who hadn't paid yet. maybe you'll get a write off / down of current debt. but a refund of money already paid is going to be a huge bill so hard to get through a budget. especially if they're having to bargain with other parties.

Bardeh posted:So if you lose your seat you're immediately off the payroll? I always wondered how it worked. if you stand for reelection and fail, you get a generous 'resettlement payment'. equivalent of one month's salary per year served as an MP, capped at 6 maximum but you don't if you just stand down. which is probably the only reason e.g. Danczuk bothered to put his name on the ballot as an independent.

quote:A cut in the number of MPs in the House of Commons could be abandoned. Legislation has already been passed to reduce the number of constituencies by 50 to 600. But it must still be voted on by MPs before October 2018. “I can’t imagine that getting through now,” said one senior Conservative. https://www.ft.com/content/6dd1942a-4f88-11e7-bfb8-997009366969 people asked about this yesterday. mark Oct next year in your calendars now

ShaneMacGowansTeeth posted:I'm genuinely surprised more people didn't die in the fire seeing as this looks like it's the only access road in you mean access for emergency service vehicles? you've also got Lancaster Rd coming in the opposite direction of Grefnell Rd. and the pedestrianised route to Latimer Rd station is wide enough if you can past the bollards. it doesn't sound like they had any problem getting there within minutes of the alarm being raised.

ukle posted:Eye witnesses said the first fire appliances did have issue getting near to the building. Specifically there was a car double parked and blocked the road enough to not allow them to pass, then their was none removable bollards stopping the appliances from getting close to the building. It definitely delayed them a few minutes. don't remember any bollards close to the building. but I believe you. dangerous parking is a problem all over London. especially at night when people correctly think there's gently caress all enforcement. I hope that car gets trashed. now that I think about it, IIRC St Anns Rd is still completely dug up for water works, so nothing's getting in from the station side either

Beefeater1980 posted:My secondary school alumni network, that has sent me precisely 3 communications in the 19 years since I graduated, just sent me an email saying that the school has agreed to take in the students from Kensington Aldridge Academy. Seems like it's a 6th form college that was near to the flats and has stopped operating as a result of the fire. Anyone know any more about that school? Feels like a decent thing to do. not just near the flats. it's right at the base of the tower north side. like 20m across the pavement

JFairfax posted:Saddiq Khan aint coming off too well in this either Which is weird considering the refurb took place before he entered city hall, and during his previous stint in government he'd nothing to do with housing or building regulation. One thing that does have anything to do with him, the emergency services, are looking like the only competent party. Not that he can really take much credit when he hasn't done anything to change then since taking over.

Julio Cruz posted:All the numbers floating around are really vague. The only quote the BBC has for the number of people living in the building is "400-600" (no loving way the council doesn't have a much more accurate number than that" and Kensington and Chelsea LBC says it's relocated "109 households" in hotels (which could be anywhere between 200 and 400 people). It's pretty clear that they don't want people doing their own maths of "x residents - y survivors = z victims".

TACD posted:They're generally pretty keen on keeping track of how many people in each property should be paying council tax. So as long as we assume no one had kids living with them, is renting with bills included, and every flat share has put all their names down that'll be a useful & accurate number Basically just keep waiting for the emergency services to give confirmed numbers once they're in and can count bodies.

TACD posted:Yes, any estimate will have a margin of error but it's just incorrect to claim that the council has no way of even coming up with a reasonable estimate. I think we fundamentally disagree on what 'reasonable' would be here. When you're talking about peoples' lives I see no harm in waiting a few days
