So it seems that not for the first time the B of E “Economic forecasters” may have got it wrong ?
I would expect they made something out if it, somewhere, somehow

I thought there was supposed to be a domino effect and the EU would collapse after we left?

The Royal College of Nursing and GMB have put strike action on hold

The threat of widespread strike action in Scotland's NHS has been put on hold by unions.


The GMB and Royal College of Nursing will not call strikes while negotiations take place on the 2023 pay offer, BBC Scotland understands.

Health secretary Humza Yousaf said the breakthrough was "very welcome".

Negotiations are likely to take several weeks and the unions still have a mandate to call members out on strike if they are unsuccessful.

If a deal is reached, the pay rise would be backdated to January.

The announcement follows talks with the Scottish government on Thursday, aimed at ending the long-running pay dispute affecting staff in NHS Scotland and the Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS).

The three unions with mandates to strike are the GMB, the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) and the Royal College of Midwives (RCM).

They said they would now enter an "intensive period of negotiations" on the 2023 pay deal.

All three unions rejected the 2022 pay offer which was worth around 7.5% on average. It was accepted by others including Unison and Unite.

All the Brit "gender neutral - artist of the year" nominees have penises. Known Labour supporters are up in arms. Yet Sir Steir Karma has announced that women can have penises.

Monumental irony.

That’s really good.

It’s a shame your lot have raped and pillaged the country to the point nothing works at all and you’re completely ****ed if you need an ambulance.
 
Maybe he's got something he wants to tell us......

Remember it’s the trans community that hold women back at work and in society!! It’s trans people who are the big threat to women’s safety, it’s trans people which disproportionately harm, sexually assault and kill women.


Only joking it’s men but hey those gender neutral people!!!

You find the strangest things to get wound up about

Not wound up. I think it's curious. Of course, I don't know if any of the nominees identify as women, but if they did, then according to Starmer, it's a mixed gender category.

Seems to me Starmer's stand on what is a woman is a hostage to fortune.
 
I’m more wound up that one of the nominees is George “****ing boring ****” Ezra

It's a non-story. Only one female artist had an album in the 100 best selling albums last year, Florence, and she was 89th....it's like having the PFA awards and complaining because someone from Harrow Boro wasn't nominated for Player of the Year
