It appears it is concessions to Regan now an Alba MP (Salmond, which might influence strategy) from SNP. If not, then it's onto elections. That could result in a Labour led government, with either SNP, or LD and Greens. If SNP (under a new leader, say ...
Any trade risk to shipping, from turning atolls into islands and then building bases on them, would be related to trade going to South Korea and Japan, not China. As per Houthi not targeting all shipping through the Red Sea. Another factor is China might ...

Job sharing MP's. It would make the hours workable for mothers and work life balance parenting fathers. The two intend to work week on and week off - presumably this would be at the federal parliament and involve them using the same housing there (that ...
