For self driving cars to be safe they have to be safe all the time.

That they are not means they should not be on the road.

The Labour government continues its campaign to disappoint. They were happy to make the "difficult decision" to not end the 2 child cap and means test winter fuel payments, but when it comes to climate change, they cave.

Even before daylight savings or, even Americans, date and time has been a mess.

Here is a description of how the British Government used to start the year on March 25th.

The most frustrating part of breaking my laptop screen is watching the replacement sit in customs for 4 days thanks to fucking #BREXIT.

An entirely negative policy brought to us by Putin's useful idiots.

Imagine writing an entire article about staff shortages in the hospitality industry and not mentioning one of the biggest causes. That's a skill, but it's also dishonest.

This shortage was brought to you by #BREXIT

No, you dropped your multimeter on your laptop screen. At least it's repairable.

I wonder how long @frameworkcomputer will take to deliver the replacement.

We don't need sticking plasters to help 5 business areas. We need to undo the disaster that is #brexit

To those who voted to leave I say, you fucked up, your decision was a disaster, your judgement was very poor, you are not in a position to dictate policy.

The bad news about the economy will continue until the Government stop lying to us and itself that #BREXIT can be "made to work".

You can't build massive trade barriers to your nearest and largest trading partners and expect things to be good. To claim so is a folly. And that folly is fast becoming Labour's folly for which they will take the blame in 5 years
