I bought a roll of bubble wrap to line my greenhouse some years ago, I think it lasted about 3 years then disintegrated. Just turned to dust, what can you do with it then, would that be what they call micro plastics?

How can the Tories (sorry, - that should be 'this particular bunch of Tories') get away with this? The current procedure for
investigating misdemeanours by politicians were set up 'cross party' -
as all parliamentary committees are apparently.. They took time to set up those
processes - they were voted on. They were looked at in 2003 and 2008 (I think that is what they said on the radio yesterday) and
Parliament thought they were sufficient.
There was a discussion here a while about about the insulation bunch and their breaking the law to highlight a point. Can it then be ignored when a government circumvents the procedures that itself sets up? Isn't it more worrying when a Gov is willing to openly circumvent/flaunt the rules - and worse, to change the rules to suit a circumstance - as where does that then end?
If the gov had put forward a proposal to change the internal procedures process last year... two years ago... or even in 6 months time - then fine. If the process is flawed (and if it is I'm not sure how it was reviewed and found to be ok before) then revamping it to make it better is fine. But you can't change the rules to suit a specific case.
How much longer will Naga Munchety be allowed to get away with being rude to the people she works with? Today it was sniping at Charlie which at least meant she was leaving Carol alone. If the positions were reversed, and she was on the receiving end, I can imagine the outcry. When this happens one way it seems it's just 'banter', but when done the other way.....
French TV license is per private household no matter how many TVs there are but, as far as I can tell, people of 70+ and others on very low incomes are exempt. It is paid annually as an itemised separately on "taxe habitation" except that that is being phased out and already 80% no longer pay it and no household will be paying it from 2023 so who knows how they'll collect it. 2nd homes and gîtes need their own license.

They (he) has no regard for either the law or the truth and his experience to date is that the general public don't care, so why wouldn't he assume he can get away with it?
He flew from COP 26 by private jet to a dinner with Charles Moore (close personal friend of Owen Patterson), and then changed the law (or is trying to) to protect his mate. It's not hard to guess what has happened, what's been said, and even if that is completely wrong and it's entirely innocent, they must appreciate that that is how it looks.
It speaks volumes that Geoffrey Cox and Dominic Raab - neither of whom I admire, by the way, and both of whom have been on the side of some pretty dodgy moves by this Government - both abstained on this vote
