It's reported that Ed Miliband is set to roll back the looming boiler ban as heat pump installations miss their target by nearly 90%. Little wonder, says Ben Pile, when payback time is measured in centuries, if at all.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9Was Bertie's book not nominated? Scandalous!
Surely he is not permitted to do such a thing, openly canvassing like that?
Here's a link to the book awards site. Canvassing on behalf of a title on the shortlist is not prohibited apparently. So if people want to canvass on behalf of something by David McWilliams instead now is their chance.

Old Moore's Almanack didn't get to the shortlist along with Bertie's ghostwritten 'memoirs'. The connection between the two is that Old Moore fails to predict the important things (and gets somethings cockeyed) while Bertie failed to foresee that his past windfalls would catch up with him.
It's as good as any of the rest of them and it was for charity.
Is this the same Bill Cullen invited by Hughes to receive an honorary degree in the same building where the students were doing their exams? Not content with that level of disruption the bould Cullen arrived by car and then had his helicopter pick him? Landing right beside the examination rooms, disrupting the exams for all the students?
Oh yes, they're both an example to our third-level students aren't they! Give us a break, Hughes is a managerial bully and Cullen thinks that all young people should work for nothing - preferably for him I suppose.
Vote for decent writers like Colm McCann and Toibin - The Master - one of the best novels ever!
The president has the cheek to send us this email right before our exams and doesn't even wish us all the best in our exams. So unconsiderate!!!
inconsistent
Bill and Bertie have a lot in common, they're both Dubs and they're both full of shite!
