Big Ben tower repair costs double to £61m
The rising cost was announced as Parliament confirmed it had appointed construction firm Robert McAlpine to carry out the renovation, which could take up to four years, following a tendering process. (BBC News website)

Re: Friday 29th September 2017
Yeah, I think a couple of the arguments he attacks there are very weak- the "foreign governments" and calling providing a service a "subsidy".SpinningHugo wrote:Rail nationalisation by the former chair of the government run E Coast mainline

I think the best argument for nationalization is that management expertise has got spread too widely by the fragmentation- though it's not as bad as it used to be on that score. By common consent, the top railway manager of recent times is Chris Green, formerly of Network South East. After privatization, he went off to run Virgin Trains, when he'd have been running BR under nationalization. The performance of Network Rail seems to suggest a fair few more top managers are being missed. There are pretty serious sums of money being overspent.

The Conservative Party is facing oblivion and doesn’t have enough activists to fight another general election successfully, John Strafford, chairman of the Campaign for Conservative Democracy (pictured), has told Tribune on the eve of the party’s annual conference.
not only are the Conservatives well below Labour’s soaring membership of 569,500 but are either neck and neck or below the membership of the Liberal Democrats

Re: Friday 29th September 2017
More offensive than charm though. I don't think it will work.This week, David Davis, the Brexit secretary, embarked on a charm offensive of senior ministers in Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark. British government sources said they felt a need to explain their position without the filter of the commission and Barnier.
