…. Indeed, if Labour’s present financial straits do lead it (as some predict) to seek a limited liability corporate structure, there would be a case for the cash-rich (but in inner-city patches of Britain, votes-poor) Conservative Party to stage a hostile bid – or to buy Labour from the Administrator, who would presumably be obliged […]
Say No
Many people don’t realise that there are many phone providers offering cheaper calls to standard telephone numbers (those beginning with 01 or 02), which don’t apply to 0844, 0845, 0870 or 0871 telephone numbers. … you can reduce your call cost on standard telephone numbers to as little as 3p fixed cost (regardless of duration), […]
