  1. Why? We already have low corporation tax, last time it went to 19% the big companies spent it all on share buy backs pumping thier stock price. Only aound 20% ended up in th economy ​@mikecook1537

  2.  @MCDONALD6969  there locating to Ireland because its in the EU and transferring from the UK as we are no longer the gateway to Europe. The EU have pumped millions into Ireland transport network and major shipping now goes directly there before distribution. Holland is another big beneficiary of Brexit If you want to promote growth you do it via targeted investment, blanket tax cuts cost the treasury approximately 80p in the £ in lost revenue

  3. ​ @chrisj9700 our economy hasn't grown in 14 years maybe you should take a primer in macroeconomics GDP per capita has fallen 7 quarters straight what's propping up Real gdp from a technical reccesion into a full blown depression is immigration

  5.  @SmithyD86  The Root cause of our economic problems are Austerity and Trickle down economic policy. Did you know we spent 20 billion on housing support last year? The reason why is councils being asset stripped by right to buy and then not replacing social housing stock also the Cons have pumped over 100 billion into these types of schemes over thier 2 main stints in office. House prices since 2010 have risen by 66% Average wages have fallen by -7%.

  6. By importing 1.25 million workers we only got a technical recession rather than a full blown depression

  7. ​ @Dynasty1818 average wages are -7% lower than in 2010 The only reason Real gdp is below zero by a small fraction is the staggering amount of immigration over the last few years GDP per Capita is falling like a stone
