But you can use up to ?10,000 a year (new allowance) to "communicate" with your constituents. HAve you not noticed the new glossies we're getting thru' the letter box extolling MPs performance? Creates an inbuilt bias for sitting MP - who should be relying upon their performance, not their PR machine and expenses, to be re-elected.

Theres always a "way" of palming off the cost onto someone else - HH is slippery enough to know that.


Sadly this chap little gimmick often works, dazzling people for long enough to get them onside.


I however have pride and respect for myself - a few drinks and a canape or two will not rid me of my utter cynicism of the whole back slapping, pocket lining political circus typified by Harman and her kind.


Proud of your involvement in Iraq Harriet ? would you vote for it now ? still, a few hundred thousand dead is a small price to pay for your career on the gravy train.Still at least you have your plus side - like your support of ID cards

and expanded anti terrorism laws ( even though the vote for eerak invasion probabaly turned more people into potentuial terrorists than any other event in the UK)


you and your kind make me sick Harriet.


I dont know how you sleep at night


Im sure your simpering lackeys will check out this post and may even attempt what is now refered to as an " Osborne Stewart" defence - i.e. a bogus post intended to promote a cause or opportunity on a public forum

HH is exactly the type of intense, turkey-necked, unimaginative careerist, with her steely-glare and "I pretend to be nice but get in the way of my career and I will slaughter you" slag that I have identified elsewhere on this board, ie. just like TJ.

    • Would you like a copy of my spreadsheet? It's hours of fun.
    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
