  2. Delusion HQ here I managed 10 minutes of it before I had to quit The reason the Tories will be consigned into oblivion if not this election then in future is they offer nothing but chaos and destruction, there is no turning the corner our economy is wrecked for large parts of the population.

  3. Labour have a Net Zero policy as for the Cons We still have an onshore wind ban and no accelerated planning permission for Grid and infrastructure rollout Quote The OBR concludes: the debt impact of future volatility in gas prices is at 13% of the UK gross domestic product (GDP) to 2050. This dwarfs the debt impact of 6% of GDP for investing in net zero. Second, it investigates the potential of new, growing energy solutions to cushion price volatility Quote With the energy price cap below £1,300 throughout 2021, UK households spent around £30 billion on energy during the year. In 2023 the projected spend is around £170 billion. This is equivalent to more than doubling the basic rate of income tax from 20% to 45% or almost doubling VAT from 20% to 38%. Just over 6% of GDP.@whiskeywarlord9425

  6. It depends on the infrastructure investment and supply side reform. 3% inflation isn't bad in itself if your getting positive wage growth We've had 14 years where disposable income has declined by on average 10% with government policy deliberately suppressing pay in the public sector and using immigration keep it low.

  7. @LA-fr7fx  so a rule of thumb money spent on public sector wages generates a minimum of 0.8 in terms of a an economic multiplier, so spending 10 billion through incresed economic activity it generates enough tax and spend that the real cost is 2 billion. Here's the rub though cutting spending can have a > 1 effect, analysis of Osborne's Austerity put the figure at 1.6 An example is defunding the justice system, outsourcing parole function and creating private prisons. You have inefficient use of resource, incresed crime which affects gdp and reduces productivity.

  8. @LA-fr7fx  I could reduce customer spend on energy dramatically by using the government to invest in mass storage at both the grid and customer level we have the tech just not the will. That would increase both companies and people's spending power and reduce costs. So for say a 30 billion investment I'm reducing customer costs by 20 billion a year and paying for the investment by increased gdp and productivity over time

  13.  @sammic7492  In better shape in what way? In 2023 the Tories gave the energy companies 72 billion in subsidies because they did nothing about the energy crisis or us being tied to gas. Not only did they do nothing but Sunak started cancelling renewable projects and dolled out another 10 billion in Fossil subsidies. I could go on the list of Tory complete fkups is endless way worse than a bit of employer NI in Reeve's soggy centrist budget.
