Things that make you go What the F**k?

Could stormont not pass a lawing limiting premiums or would that need to be London? It is properly scandalous. Reducing car insurance and having roads fit for purpose are 2 issues that would please a lot of people if they were sorted

Lol no. Stormont hasn't the power to run a hen house.

They could  heat one though.

Very good!

Another thing that needs to happen is sorting the mot wait times. Short term allow people to tax the car without mot.

Well there's a spanner in the works with that one as there are more issues at the MOT centres.

Are they thinking of increasing MOT to 6 or 7 years old again or did I imagine that headline?

Why not push it to once every 2 years like the NCT? Halves the money right enough

Look at the money they arent getting though because people cant tax the car. Think they actually increased mot price lately which is madness

I knew this coming. Tee'd it up for someone to come in and slam dunk it. Well played.

It's farcical at the minute with MOT and Tax. Two different bodies who don't appear to have any communication whatsoever. Zero common sense between these two departments but sure what else would you expect.

Pretty sure all these Insurance companies end up back with about 4/5 multi national huge companies.
I would doubt even London would have the clout to do anything about it, even if the will was there to do something, which there isn't.

There was an article a few weeks ago that the FCA were to meet with the Treasury to see if anything could be done

The local MLAs are being put under some pressure to sort out at least some of the ongoing debacle re. these Victoria Square apartments. Apparently these people have been paying rates since 2019 for properties they can't use.

For those of you chaps in the game, if there are definite structural defects in the apartments, how can *nobody* be held liable? The 2 big construction companies involved seem to have denied all liability.

Crazy

Communities Minister, Gordon Lyons, has confirmed that his department will take responsibility for defective buildings in Belfast, after news this week that a multi-million pound compensation claim by owners evacuated due to safety concerns is to be dismissed
On Wednesday, a High Court judge struck out the group action brought over structural issues at the Victoria Square residential complex because a legislative time limit for mounting the case had expired.

In Northern Ireland, such claims must be made within six years of a building being completed.

In England and Wales it is 30 years.

Mr Justice Huddleston expressed sympathy for the "human pain" of those who have lost their homes.

Amid suggestions that the city centre development may have to be demolished, the court heard some residents could now face financial ruin.

Completed back in 2008, the building on Chichester Street contains a total of 91 apartments.
