Apparently there's a big problem looming in the mortgage and housing markets.

Mortgage arrears jumped by 13% in the second quarter of the year to the highest level since 2016, according to Bank of England figures that underscore the stress in the UK mortgage market

It looks like the so called "war on motorists" is going to be the Tories preferred battleground for the next general election.

Expect a load of scaremongering about more ulez, 20mph limits, restrictions on car use and 15 minute cities.

Yep, add that to the anti-trans, anti-migrant, anti-woke rhetoric, and it's going to be one hell of a horrible election.

The fact that most motorists would like to be able to be moving at 20 mph rather than be at the standstill they are much of the time, seems lost on the ****!

Not only did Sunak cancel HS2 but he's authorised the sale of the land as well, stopping anyone from completing it in the future.

Braverman has gone, apparently.

That'll further split Tory voters. It may even trigger a leadership contest.
