  1. 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
