Mark the Week: The power crisis is a shambles

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all.    Banks: 6/10  Coming to the party. In Britain this week we have seen tangible life hit the housing market after one cut by the Bank of England. Could it happen here?    The Prime Minister: 7/10  For giving the councils a reality check. They stand out as almost the sole survivors of the Covid “sting 'em where it hurts” brigade with their bizarre cost-plus-accounting view of life.    Power: 1/10  This is a shambles. You've got the immediate problem and the long-term problem. Both are, and have been, avoidable. It looks third world.    Kamala Harris: 8/10  The week of her life. Half a billion raised, the Obama's with the light show, and today is the acceptance of the nomination. And polls that show it's all on.    Darleen Tana: 2/10  Everything that is wrong with representation at the highest level. If it's not councils wasting your money, it's tyre kickers wasting our time.    The Warriors: 1/10  What might have been, what could have been, what should have been. Now we are left with the Bulldogs, a contest that means nothing, and a goodbye to a great bloke who deserves better.    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
