  4. ​ @nigelmarche 1st time we're going to get some centre left policies like taking back rail and your spewing bile why

  5. You do know that If you reduce taxes and the size of the state your removing social infrastructure investment that means not training your own workforce such as Nurses and doctors and importing them instead? So net migration under Reform economic policy can never come down its why the Tories can't do it they've reduced infrastructure spend too much.

  11.  @adam6543  it's not a policy that's the issue it's punted to post election as will most things, like everything the Cons do it's lite on detail and pushed out to the private sector. It's in response to a more detailed integrated more encompassing story from Labour who have been looking at various childcare / school models in Europe especially Scandinavian ones. The private sector can't fix our economy the NHS our Energy crisis the public transport crisis the looming crisis in schools asylum crisis cost of living crisis In 13 years there doesn't appear to be anything the Tories haven't broken and made worse

  12. Every economist says his plan will reignite inflation and create a reccesion

  13. By freezing thresholds and targeting the disabled as well as just cutting NI does nothing for the lower paid and pensioners and worse net zero would lower energy bills

  17. The bankers tax break would pay a nurses increase x4 times over Ukraine fight so we don't have to

  18. ​ @Nick-kb6jd nationalising them won't fix the problems we have with them and successive Conservative governments have allowed debt loading I'm in favour of the GBEnergy rout additional capacity run for public benefit it will provide competition pushing down prices and we won't have to buy up huge swathes of debt and old coal stations We should have never sold them in the 1st place but that bridge has long gone

  19.  @nighttrain1236  since when they've not payed taxes for years and the latest round of tax incentives runs into the 100 billion

  23.  @JR-vg1kr  nurses work anti social hours and 12 hour shifts plus have to study a degree course anything over a certain threshold gets hoovered up in student tax repayment I earned more doing 9-5 And Government money isn't like a household budget once it goes into the economy it goes round a tax and spend merry-go-round which eventually costs the treasury approx 20 p in the £

  24.  @christinefiedor3518  private sector nurses don't do the shifts and aren't subject to to the same pressure of an active hospital Your Nuffield patient is scheduled in and out any emergency and your carted off to the NHS

  25. At well over a million per asylum seekers it just shows the sheer frothing insanity of the far right in this country No clue how to deal with the problem so let's throw 150 million down the toilet in gesture politics to placate the rabid right wing media meanwhile the Gammons are on here cheering as the government pisses more money up the nearest wall. Are people in this country really that stupid?

  26.  @calumhenderson9404  Wind turbine's are built to last between 20–25 years. Some parts may need replacing during this time. Announcement from the UK government Oct 2022 quote A new fiberglass recycling technology is helping to develop a circular wind turbine economy while creating jobs and revitalizing a historic site Nuclear have a shelf life of 35 years and the site isn't usable for how many years and at what COST?

  27.  @dragonvalo  it's the relief of not being on another 12 hour shift with the relentless pace of shuffling stretchers round corridors while someone dies making space in a ward

  28. We can align chemical standards at our end which reduces trade friction, the idea that we as a single nation had the power to go it alone and force the world to our standards (or lack of) was always fantasy land.

  29.  @Michael-4  So your a Tory apologist, what draws you to such complete ecenomic incompetence and low standards in public life?

  30. That's not to say if they were in power they would have done that it's just a political pitch to show a different direction Labour would jump for joy if public opinion was overwhelming enough to nationalisation

  34. This was going to happen, we've been ocasional remote working and moving now to organise this on a more wholesale permenant basis, the company are looking to downsize office space. The remote working phenomena has accelerated by about 5/6 years.

  36. Oh well at least he's dragging his Party down the toilet through the sewer into the cesspit of oblivion Tactical voting in both by elections was the worst possible outcome for the Cons and there is no quick fix to the economy its going to get worse

  37. This is Johnson's Brexit, Norway aren't in the EU and they don't have this problem and this is way worse than the Swiss. Johnson and his cabal of lying toads chose this course of hard Brexit because Flags and the City
    2
  38. We knew that before he was elected PM by his party he'd already been sacked twice for lying the guy lives in a fantasy world. The fall out as Johnson clings to power will spread dogshit across the entire Tory brand

  40.  @jasbindersingh2441  there's the same number of French staff but it now takes longer to process each passenger as the UK is a 3rd country it will get worse in September when arriving from outside the EU will require biometric readings

  41. Brexit isn't the reason for our low productivity and 13 years of economic stagnation Austerity + Trickle Down Supply side Economics is (aka Thatcher) The autumn statement was a case in point tax rises at the bottom to fuel tax giveaways for businesses and the well off, fiscal drag really hurts the poorest in the economy and using NI instead of tax bands puts extra burden on low income pensioners as well. There are some simple remedies cut the NHS waiting lists and get people back to work, provide social support for disabled and special needs adults to work. Build lots of council houses so council budgets aren't eaten away with housing support ( now up to 50% in some councils) Change council tax to a value tax not banded and capped

  42.  @eriihf  I would call the Rwanda policy far right the Policing bill stopping protests far right the voter suppression bill far right. At what stage has any government gone down this insane path?

  45.  @JR-vg1kr  the FT did a piece on The labour economy v the Tory one its all over social media your like on a different planet with Austerity The economic calculation was we'd be +15% better off from 2010 till 2019 with robust public services instead of -3% and services cut to the bone

  48.  @joecater894  what would boost energy security is building another Dogger bank wind farm a mere 9 billion for 5% of uk domestic usage instead of pouring 100 billion + into oil companies coffers

  49. @joecater894  it will take over a decade before any of it comes onstream by that time we should have a minimum of 40-50% wind and 20% tidal running on the grid. Getting that capacity and enabling its deployment should be the no1 priority given we have an overreliance on gas generating electric sucking 170 billion out of people's pockets over the next 2 years

  50. It's progressive the less your paid the more it helps even I can figure that one out The other thing is it reduces inflation that reduces pressure on public sector pay and pensions are supposedly tied to the triple lock for each % point of inflation you can reduce it by you save 1 billion + Blanket corporate tax cuts help no one you need a higher rate and tax breaks for the areas we want to grow, why are we giving fossil producers tax breaks.
