You do know that it was Jimmy Dimly who originally negotiated this though don't you? Quote "In November 2022, then British foreign secretary James Cleverly announced the UK and Mauritius had started sovereignty negotiations with Mauritius." from Sky News.

And yet, there he is living rent free in your head.

Unfortunately, this area is a victim of the "jam tomorrow" philosophy. There are now whole areas of Sheffield that fall into this idea. Change is not necessarily "bad", but constant work in an area can have an opposite effect to the one intended. I would like to see areas that have had changes made, then have a rest period of two to three years. This would allow the area to re-energise. I have lived in Sheffield to see that whilst there are improvements, to infrastructure and transport etc., the constant feeling of being on a building site is also one that drains people.

In practical terms, the only way to reduce congestion on both Woodhead and Snake is to put weight limits on them, thereby forcing HGV's on to the M62. I believe that this was one of the reasons for the M62; to allow HGV's to cross the pennines through all weathers. Of course, counter productively, it could lead to an increase in car and lighter transport using the routes.

Not sure why you think the government would "bail out" a local council with NOC, or are you just making something up?

Tom Daley has announced that he is retiring from diving. A true role model for youngsters everywhere.

That's the old incorporation, this is the new one

The problem here is his parents, who are, as far as we are aware, innocent in all this, will find their lives scrutinised and challenged by all and sundry.

Didn't the Labour shadow cabinet offer their help when the pandemic first hit? And weren't they told, in no uncertain terms, that their help wasn't needed and that de Pfeffel had it all covered?

Not forgetting that Operation Cygnus had been binned by the Tories, despite them initially wanting the report. And we're still waiting for their internal report into Islamophobia, and the Grenfell Tower report, and the russian election influence report. Never mind, it's all Labours fault 👍.

Ladbrokes offering 8/15 that he'll hold less than 5 surgeries in the year 🤣

Planning permission has been granted, Details Here.

Worth noting that DB Cargo are part of Deutsche Bahn Group, another example of UK infrastructure being operated by overseas owners.

Bit of a radical thought, but bear with.... Seeing as though 75-80% of asylum claims are upheld, why not open a claims centre in France, say Calais. Staff the centre so that all applications can be resolved within an agreed timescale, say 28 days. If successful, arrange transport to the UK. If unsuccessful, allow 1 appeal after say 6 months. If this appeal is successful, transport is arranged. If it is unsuccessful tell the applicants why and state that they will not be allowed to enter the UK. As fingerprints will be taken at the application stage, if anyone then comes over by any non-official means they are returned to France. This way, the UK don't have to house them whilst applications are being processed. (I realise this is what used to happen prior to the Conservatives and Brexit, but now we have adults in charge, it must be time to revisit the idea).

Depending on where you end up working, Chapeltown might be a good fit you. There are trains to Barnsley, Huddersfield, Meadowhall and Sheffield from the station. It also has some decent pubs and shops.
