Somerset Bob 🇬🇧A very interesting #podcast from The #Guardian’s #TodayInFocus team about the state of the #HousesOfParliament - falling masonry, rats, floods, fires, electrical dangers. Plainly, something needs to be done. But MPs can’t decide how to tackle it. If they decant to another building while work is done, estimates say it’ll take 28 years! Stay in place, and that time lengthens to … 76 years! The taxpayers’ money to be spent is eye-watering. Well worth a listen. https://open.spotify.com/episode/3OdMgoE7Ro8Fe4H0dNuqKT?si=kauxa4uUTFyqruvsciexNw #Spotify
