  1. This channel bangs on about deregulation endlessly and here are the results of lack of employment regulations and enforcement Same with the raw sewage in the rivers you can't champion deregulation with one mouth then complain when it's used to shit on people with the other

  3. Neoliberal economic policies drive higher legal migration, if you invest in UK skills as Labour are intending the demand on net migration will go down

  4.  @sandragray3951  There refugees, enact stupid policies get stupid prizes We've left the Dublin accord and borders have 2 sides, all Patel's policies will do is make things worse cost millions of pounds and achieve nothing but then there not designed to achieve anything are they? Ever wondered why there allowing high skilled workers in from the Indian Sub Continent and the Philippines while at the same time trying to force people to take on all the shit low paid jobs?

  8.  @zoeathomson4305  I agree it needs lowering but you can't do that without having a grown up conversation on what's driving it. Your cheap Uber is paid for with migration, lack of investment in nurses is paid for with migration even fruit picking if the government invested in automation you'd reduce the need. The elites don't want to pay the taxes that would solve a lot of these issues or even talk about it because it opens a Pandora box that thier economic model that makes them wealthy is a key driver

  12. Brexit has already failed, Cummings thinking was they could push Ireland out side the EU which has failed and divide and conquer as the EU project collapsed which has also failed leaving GB stuck. The rolling car crash to the economy will continue were only half implemented in terms of checks with biometric passports to be implemented in September and UKCA sometime this year adding yet more costs and delays to GB businesses.

  13. There is and always was a 100 and 1 flavours of Brexit from Singapore on Thames with the lunatic libertarians to a full Norway. You have the English Nationalist Populist Faction (Boris Boys) The UK Nationalist Populist Faction (Boris Boys + DUP) The Libertarian Faction (ERG) The Covid research group (Anti-vax lockdown nutters) The Net zero Scrutiny Group (bought and paid for by the fossil lobby) Northern Research Group (deluded northerners that thought Tories actually gave a shit about the north) So there is no answer to Brexit its a never ending internal Tory war

  27. Heavy industry was deliberately killed by Thatcher the car industry had made a bit of a comeback but that has got killed by brexit The issue for major manufacturing is the complete demolition of the on-demand supply chain Johnson's brexit deal has completely fked it with delays massive red tape and paperwork
    4
  28. So what's the plan to get rid of all the paperwork red tape and repair the broken on demand supply chain? EU retain law bill? which its estimated will add 85 billion in costs to the already hammered businesses who are spending an arm and a leg on Johnson's hard Brexit as it is This guy is fkin cluless there never was a plan and never will be 7 years on and nothing but additional costs broken promises

  30. It's a universal credit introduced by Brown now a supplemental uplift topension credit Thank Sunak for the unfunded NI cut And Further NI cuts were going to be paid for by increasing the pension age and reclassified disabled as fit to work

  31. Lower taxes never equates to lower taxes for the middle / lower class They lower your headline rate then put the burden on purchase taxes you actually pay more as a portion of your income in tax the lower down the economic scale you are. With tax the rich are forever on about tax fairness but its a straight lie someone at the bottom on minimum wage pays a huge proportion of their income + capital in tax the further you go up the scale the less you pay as a proportion so reducing the headline rate has a disproportionate affect on the overall tax take.

  32.  @shanjanusman9974  That's Conservative supply side economic policy nothing to do with the EU and it will get way worse now they can lower standards and undercut what little industry is left. Did the German car industry collapse because of the EU? When Germany unified they put 2 trillion into leveling up the East what have the Cons put into the north bar empty promises

  33. I remember and just out of interest went and checked their record Well funded services Introduction of the minimum wage average wages rose +25% GDP per capita rose to 50,000 Lets compare shall we were now worse of in terms of disposable income than we were in 2006 GDP per Capita has shrunk to 45,000 (US who were similar in 2010 is now 72,000) Our economy was 90% of Germany's it's shrunk to 70%

  34.  @TimoX-e2v  The fact that everything has been so disastrous after installing a populist clown in Boris to then want another one in Nigel is baffling to me as well

  35. NI voted to remain within the EU by a large margin (55%) an even larger margin want the Protocol enacted through negotiation with the EU (59%) the UK government need to crater the deal before it becomes too obvious how well NI is doing with unfettered access to the single market compared to the UK. Quote from an article in the FT Northern Ireland success due to EU Jonathan Portes, professor of economics at King’s College London, said that “Northern Ireland has done better” because the Protocol allows it to be part of the EU single market. Fresh data comes after last month it emerged Northern Ireland was the only region in the UK with increasing imports for the first half of 2021, compared to the same period last year. The statistics show Northern Ireland performed better than any other part of the UK, with Britain’s overall economic recovery falling 2.1 per cent over the same period.

  37.  @Innoruuk  Its going shit companies all across the board are struggling with trade due to the huge insane levels of paperwork now needed not to worry when they go bankrupt we can just import more stuff from the EU

  38.  @lewis123417  Identical to the UK then we've moved from a northern European economy to a southern one in 7 years. UK GDP in 2016 was 90% of Germany's its now 70% and falling we have a birth rate of 1.6 an aging population a crumbling health service and zero way of decreasing the debt to GDP ratio which is set to peak at 103% Employment is still below 2019 levels GDP is still below 2019 levels our home grown food production has fallen from 60% to 50% with government policy deliberately trying to shut farms down and downgrade food standards to import low quality cheap from abroad. This week saw noticeable food shortages what's next ration books?
