If you rip out decades of trickle down policies and tax breaks then there's enough to get started with in the next 5 years there's 100 billion in fossil subsidies in various budgets 2 billion yer on year millionaire's tax break 2.8 billion spent on management consultants we need realignment true and part of ripping out trickle down means slicing the pie onto asset wealth

@fang_xianfu 3.6% to be exact and the bulk of rich people avoid it to be fair if you read into it even if your on the fringes you can plan round it

The Tories are wasting billions in trickle down policies that don't work the next government needs to clean out the finances and get them sorted out that will take time Easy wins with minimal spending make the Apprenticeship scheme work properly its currently broken, change planning so houses can be built quicker look at modular factory built housing instead of bricks and mortar because we don't have the labour. So Starmers Missions one of which is grow the economy I read economics books and his mission statements seem to be based on this book by Mariana Mazzucato Mission Economy A moonshot guide to changing capitalism

1st off the debt to GDP is 100.1 % up from its 2010 total of 62% There is money for infrastructure spend on an economic renewable industrial strategy (reasons most of it private backed) The tax base is 33% rising to 37% by 2027 and The Tories are pissing away money left right and centre on trickle down policies with the vain notion that they will by magic increase GDP ex- around 100 billion in fossil subsidies in the next 5 years to cover exploration costs and cleanup costs in the North Sea 2.8 billion per annum on management consultants quote A review of tax “winners and losers” across every Budget that took place while Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak were in Downing Street finds that the Conservative government had given at least £35.8bn to businesses in tax cuts, and £2.2bn to the wealthy, before they both resigned last month. So the 1st thing that needs to happen is to cut out all the trickle down

Labour have to do the Tax and spend dance to get into power and just to show you why we can't have nice things with billionaires and non-doms running the media here's a sample Quote "Families face £1,000-a-year bill for Labour eco plans: Starmer shows signs of wobbling on 'naive' £28 BILLION net zero strategy" Quote "Labour's policy pledges so far would cost the equivalent of a 3p rise in income tax, i analysis reveals." Quote "Get your money out of Britain now – before Labour ... The Telegraph Perhaps there's a shortage of number crunchers at Labour HQ. But it might be that Labour is afraid to reveal its true plan: a wealth tax."
