Perhaps Andy (Pandy) could reside in Number Ten North (NTN), and London and the Home Counties can be ‘devolved’ as an independent state. Andy can then do his ad lib industrialisation free from antipathetic city types.
The water regulator can fine a company for not meeting its obligations. That does not help the consumer, if the company has already been bled dry by its owners. It is unlikely that foreign owners will step in to help. The solution is ‘special administration’ to take control.
Saudi led OPEC cuts oil to boost Russian war revenues, while US spends $17bn on Ukraine defence. Saudi royals use US weapons for their personal bodyguard so stop arms exports to Saudi. Arms lobby can’t object given money for Ukraine. Opportunity to exit dubious Saudi ‘allies’.
Gregg Clark chaired an Inquiry that invited Cummings to give ‘evidence’. Cummings gave hearsay and opinions. Clark failed to handle this, so it becomes national (international) media.

VO2 max measures how well you take up and use oxygen and is used by athletes to guauge fitness. It declines from the age of 25 and has a wide range from fit to unfit. It correlates with Covid 19 risk - age, health, obesity. This is the measure to use. I would like a study done.
Covid 19 Solutions:
1. Use parked 747s and A380s as intensive care units. They have oxygen piped to every seat for ventilators and good air filtration systems.
2. Repurpose all our secret nuclear bunkers with beds, supplies and air filtration.
@nick_pope Given the significance and sums of money, perhaps I was wrong to remain neutral. As the voice of the town becomes clear, I hope to see councillors living up to their responsiblities as our representatives. May the debate and the vote be serious. Not spend more and cancel later.
@maryharristw Interview? I had not recognised your great articles till I read your tweet about clicking the byeline. I had just read them, not looking who wrote them. Now I know. Me: banking, publishing writing as JJH, acting, but not disclosable. “Stay interesting, my friend.”
