    Good news that BMW will continue to build cars in Oxford.

    They've been given £75m in subsidies but it helps keep employment in that area.

    Has this levelling up been cancelled or is it just delayed ...

    "It has been reported that the North East had more train cancellations than any other English region, at 6%, and Newcastle Central Station had the joint third-highest cancellation rate among Britain's busiest 100 stations."

    "PM Boris Johnson has given his backing to High Speed 2 and committed to delivering both phases of the high-speed rail programme linking London to Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester.
    Speaking in Parliament on 11 February, Mr Johnson told MPs concerns over costs had not detracted from the fundamental value of HS2 and he pledged to ‘get HS2 done’.

    If you’re doing sides and generalising, then Brexiteer’s entire ideology is born out of a fear of change, harking back to blue passports and imperial measurements and yearning the return of a bygone era.

    You’re the one who started with the generalisations.

    I can’t see that I mentioned racism mind.

    I hereby claim the title of Winner Of Politics ;)

    Lots going on, but suspiciously quiet.....ah it's Labour under the microscope for the first time in a long time, that explains it.

    Guess what, it's not enough to not be the Tories, as has been said plenty times. Most of the country knows they'll be next in power, so now they're getting some real scrutiny.

    Urgent parliamentary question to the Prisons minister...
    Why was there 80 prison officers (40% of workforce) not on duty on the day Daniel Khalife escaped?

    I’ve changed sides from leave to let’s go back into partnership with Europe.
    Don’t be frightened of changing views when things come to light like they were lying through their back teeth.

    Presumably there would need to be at least a 50/50 split in the workforce just to cover a 24hr day. That's before we get to rest days, maximum shift times (I'm guessing 8 hours, so that's then a 33/33/33 split), mandated staffing levels etc.

    It's not just a case of everyone in all the time.
